I have heavy growth of enterobacter gergoviae on my face with inflamed bumps that are pustule like rapidly spreading that itch and burn. My Dr. doesn't seem to be concerned but I am. I'm a healthy 31 year old woman (as far as I know). Is there something I should be concerned about?
Enterics are gram- facultatively anaerobic rods; Coliforms are enterics that produce acid and gas from lactose; Enterococci are catalase-, gram+ cocci belonging to Lancefield Grp D found in GI tract
Yes, chikungunya is contagious and can be spread from person to person through the bite of an infected mosquito. It is not spread directly from person to person.
Lymphadenitis itself is not contagious. It is typically caused by an infection such as a bacterial or viral infection that can be contagious, but the swelling of the lymph nodes is not spread directly from person to person.
Yes, viral infections are contagious, meaning they can spread from person to person through direct or indirect contact with respiratory droplets, bodily fluids, or contaminated surfaces. It is important to practice good hygiene, such as washing hands frequently and avoiding close contact with infected individuals, to reduce the risk of spreading the infection.
No, elephantiasis is not a contagious disease. It is caused by parasitic worms transmitted through the bite of infected mosquitoes. The parasites live and reproduce in the lymphatic system, leading to swelling and inflammation of the limbs and genitals.
Some enterococci can be treated with penicillin, ampicillin, and vancomycin. Enterococci that are resistant to those drugs can be treated with Synercid.
enterococci
Yes, enterococci can grow on CLED (Cystine Lactose Electrolyte Deficient) medium. CLED is designed to support the growth of a wide variety of urinary tract pathogens, including enterococci, while inhibiting the growth of certain contaminants. It allows for the differentiation of lactose fermenters from non-fermenters, which can help in identifying enterococci in clinical samples.
"Vancomycin resistant enterococci not isolated" means that during testing, the specific strain of enterococci that exhibits resistance to vancomycin was not detected in the sample analyzed. This could indicate that the infection is caused by a strain of enterococci that is susceptible to vancomycin or that the bacteria are absent from the sample altogether. It is an important finding in guiding appropriate antibiotic treatment.
The adjective enterococcal applies to enterococci-- normal bacteria in the intestines.
Coliforms are a type of bacteria commonly found in the intestines of warm-blooded animals, such as E. coli. Enterococci are also intestinal bacteria, but they do not produce gas from lactose fermentation like coliforms. An example of a non-coliform enteric bacteria is Enterobacter aerogenes. An example of an enterococci is Enterococcus faecalis.
Enterococci are bacteria commonly found in the intestinal tract of humans and animals. They can be transmitted through the consumption of contaminated food or water, or through direct contact with surfaces or items contaminated with fecal matter. Poor hygiene practices, such as inadequate handwashing, can also facilitate their spread. In healthcare settings, enterococci can be acquired through contact with contaminated medical equipment or during invasive procedures.
This is not a contagious disease.The virus is contagious.
No, all cold viruses are contagious.
