– Produce uniform turbidity– No pellicle formation– After 36 hours autolysis occurs
• Blood Agar: after 18 hours at 37o C• Small (0.5 to 1)• Round• Entire• Convex• With an area of greenish discolouration around them• On further incubation the colonies become flat with raised
edges and central depression, so that concentric rings are seen on the surface when viewed from above(draughtsman or carrom coin appearance)

exudate and heart blood

Hemophilus Hemophilus influenzaeinfluenzae
![Page 36: Streptococcus pneumoniae mbbs](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062503/58ed59e51a28abae428b4669/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Definition• Haemophilus influenzae (formerly called
Pfeiffer's bacillus or Bacillus influenzae) is a Gram-negative, coccobacillary, facultatively anaerobic pathogenic bacterium belonging to the Pasteurellaceae family.
• H. influenzae was first described in 1892 by Richard Pfeiffer during an influenza pandemic
• Greek haemal, blood; philos, friendly)• present in the nasopharynx of approximately 75
percent of healthy children and adults.
![Page 37: Streptococcus pneumoniae mbbs](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062503/58ed59e51a28abae428b4669/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Haemophilus influenzae• gram-negative coccobacillus(short rod) and long
filamentous form in CSF in meningitis.• 0.2 to 0.3 to 0.5 to 0.8 um• Nonmotile, nonsporing pleomorphic• Oxidase positive• aerobic and facultative anaerobe.• In vitro growth requires accessory growth factors,
including “X” factor (hemin) and “V” factor (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide [NAD]).
• Chocolate agar media are used for isolation. H. influenzae will generally not grow on blood agar, which lacks NAD.
![Page 38: Streptococcus pneumoniae mbbs](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062503/58ed59e51a28abae428b4669/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Special media• Levanthal agar• Filde’s peptic digest• Brain and Heart Infusion broth
with hemin and nicotinamide supplements
![Page 39: Streptococcus pneumoniae mbbs](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062503/58ed59e51a28abae428b4669/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Satellitism• H. influenzae will grow in the hemolytic zone
of Staphylococcus aureus on blood agar plates; the hemolysis of cells by S. aureus releases factor V which is needed for its growth. H. influenzae will not grow outside the hemolytic zone of S. aureus due to the lack of nutrients such as factor V in these areas.
![Page 40: Streptococcus pneumoniae mbbs](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062503/58ed59e51a28abae428b4669/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Classification/Serotypes• In 1930, two major categories of H. influenzae were
defined: the unencapsulated strains and the encapsulated strains.
• Encapsulated strains (typeable)– The outermost structure of encapsulated H. influenzae
is composed of polyribosyl-ribitolphosphate (PRP), a polysaccharide that is responsible for virulence and immunity.
– on the basis of distinct capsular antigens six types : a, b, c, d, e, and f.
– 95% of invasive disease caused by type b (prevaccine)
![Page 41: Streptococcus pneumoniae mbbs](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062503/58ed59e51a28abae428b4669/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
• Unencapsulated strains (also termed nontypeable (NTHi) lack capsular serotypes
– less invasive; they can, however, produce an inflammatory response in humans
![Page 42: Streptococcus pneumoniae mbbs](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062503/58ed59e51a28abae428b4669/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Diseases• Most strains usually live in host without causing disease
• but other factors (such as a viral infection, mycoplasma, reduced immune function or chronically inflamed tissues, e.g. from allergies) create an opportunity.
• infect the host by sticking to the host cell using trimeric autotransporter adhesins
![Page 43: Streptococcus pneumoniae mbbs](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062503/58ed59e51a28abae428b4669/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
• H. influenzae type b (Hib) – In infants and young children,
causes bacteremia, pneumonia, epiglottitis and acute bacterial meningitis.
– On occasion, it causes cellulitis, osteomyelitis, and infectious arthritis.
![Page 44: Streptococcus pneumoniae mbbs](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062503/58ed59e51a28abae428b4669/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
• Unencapsulated H. influenzae strains: – cause invasive disease similar to type b
infections but less virulent than encapsulated strains
– are unaffected by the Hib vaccine – cause ear infections (otitis media), eye
infections (conjunctivitis), and sinusitis in children, and are associated with pneumonia.
– bronchitis in adults.
![Page 45: Streptococcus pneumoniae mbbs](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062503/58ed59e51a28abae428b4669/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Virulence • no exotoxins • neuraminidase and an IgA protease• Fimbriae adherence to human mucosal cells • capsular polysaccharide, (polyribosyl ribitol
phosphate (PRP) capsule )– antiphagocytic, ineffective complement-mediated bacteriolysis.

Diagnosis
• Laboratory testing• Imaging studies
![Page 47: Streptococcus pneumoniae mbbs](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062503/58ed59e51a28abae428b4669/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Laboratory diagnosis
• Specimens: – CSF, blood, pleural fluid, joint fluid,
and middle ear aspirates should be cultured on Chocolate agar
![Page 48: Streptococcus pneumoniae mbbs](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062503/58ed59e51a28abae428b4669/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Gram staining of body fluids from various sites of infection
![Page 49: Streptococcus pneumoniae mbbs](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062503/58ed59e51a28abae428b4669/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Culture• chocolate agar, with added X (
hemin) and V (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) factors at 37 °C in a CO2-enriched incubator – convex, smooth, pale, grey or
transparent colonies.• Fildes agar is best for isolation.• In Levinthal medium, capsulated
strains show distinctive iridescence.
![Page 50: Streptococcus pneumoniae mbbs](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062503/58ed59e51a28abae428b4669/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
X and V factors requirements
• Haemophilus influenzae requires X and V factors for growth. In this culture haemophilus has only grown around the paper disc that has been impregnated with X and V factors. There is no bacterial growth around the discs that only contain either X or V factor.
![Page 51: Streptococcus pneumoniae mbbs](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062503/58ed59e51a28abae428b4669/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Immunological test– Detection of the polyribosyl ribitol phosphate
(PRP) polysaccharide capsule • countercurrent immunoelectrophoresis,• latex particle agglutination,• co-agglutination, and enzyme-linked
immunosorbent assay
– The most confirmatory method of establishing the diagnosis; slide agglutination with type-specific antisera
![Page 52: Streptococcus pneumoniae mbbs](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062503/58ed59e51a28abae428b4669/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Laboratory testing• Others

rates (ESRs) and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels in patients with septic arthritis

Imaging studies• Computed tomography (CT) scanning of the
head• • Chest radiography: For suspected pulmonary
disease (eg, pneumonia)
• Lateral neck radiography: To confirm epiglottitis
• • Echocardiography: For suspected pericarditis
![Page 55: Streptococcus pneumoniae mbbs](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062503/58ed59e51a28abae428b4669/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Treatment• A combined therapy with ampicillin plus
chloramphenicol or third generations cephlosporine(Cefotaxime/ceftriaxone)
• Fluoroquinolones• Macrolide antibiotics (e.g., clarithromycin)
may be used in patients with a history of allergy to beta-lactam antibiotics
![Page 56: Streptococcus pneumoniae mbbs](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062503/58ed59e51a28abae428b4669/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Prevention• Effective vaccines for Haemophilus influenzae
Type B have been available since the early 1990s, and is recommended for children under age 5 and asplenic patients.
• World Health Organization recommends a pentavalent vaccine, combining vaccines against diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, hepatitis B and Hib.
![Page 57: Streptococcus pneumoniae mbbs](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062503/58ed59e51a28abae428b4669/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
• Doses of Hib vaccine are usually recommended at these ages:– First Dose: 2 months of age – Second Dose: 4 months of age – Third Dose: 6 months of
age (if needed, depending on brand of vaccine)
– Final/Booster Dose: 12–15 months of age– Children over 5 years old and adults usually
do not need Hib vaccine.
