Currently, there are no existing vaccinations against Epstein-Barr virus.

Human Parainfluenza virus (HPIV) is associated with causing lower respiratory diseases.

P. aeruginosa to be the second most common organism isolated in nosocomial pneumonia (17% of cases)

P. aeruginosa grows well on LB broth

P. aeruginosa grows well at 37°C

These bacteria like moist environments, such as hot tubs and swimming pools, where they can cause a skin rash or swimmer's ear.

Pseudomonas can be spread on the hands of healthcare workers or by equipment that gets contaminated and is not properly cleaned.

Patients in hospitals, especially those on breathing machines, those with devices such as catheters, and patients with wounds from surgery or from burns are potentially at risk for serious, life-threatening infections.

Pseudomonas infections usually occur in people in the hospital and/or with weakened immune systems

P. aeruginosa is commonly found in the exoskeletons and droppings of the domestic cockroaches

“red man” syndrome

rare entity that has been reported in only 9 patients—in 2 nonpregnant adults.

We speculate that group B streptococcus has recently acquired an increased ability to cause necrotizing fasciitis

Necrotizing fasciitis type II is a relatively uncommon, severe infection caused primarily by group A b-hemolytic streptococcus (GAS)

We report the second case of group B streptococcus causing necrotizing fasciitis and toxic shock-like syndrome. A black woman, aged 52 years

Laboratory Photo Examples

GBS grows readily on blood agar plates

Group B strep screening identifies the presence of the bacteria in the vaginal/rectal area of a pregnant woman.

Adults with chronic illnesses (e.g., diabetes mellitus, obesity, and cardiovascular disease), pregnant women, the fetus, and the newborn are at risk.

rates of serious group B strep infections are higher among newborns

Symptoms of tularemia may include

Tick and deer fly bites

usually occur in the summer months

Tularemia is more common in males, possibly because of a greater likelihood of exposure through hunting and landscaping. Tularemia occurs in persons of all ages, but is most common in children.

most common in the south central United States, the Pacific Northwest, and parts of Massachusetts

accompanied by swelling of regional lymph glands, usually in the armpit or groin.

A skin ulcer appears at the site where the bacteria entered the body

All forms are accompanied by fever
