RESPIRATORY SYSTEM: UPPER AND LOWER
![Page 3: LAB 7: RESPIRATORY SYSTEM. RESPIRATORY SYSTEM: UPPER AND LOWER](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649f145503460f94c28699/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
THE RESPIRATORY SYSTEM Host Defense Mechanisms
Anatomical characteristics/mechanisms to prevent/fight infection:– nasal hairs – antibacterial enzymes (lysozyme)– convoluted passages – cilia and mucous lining of the trachea– mucous linings of the nasal turbinates – reflexes --coughing, sneezing, swallowing – Normal flora of nasopharynx and presence of normal flora

NORMAL MICROBIOTA OF THE RESPIRATORY SYSTEM
• UPPER respiratory tract :– Coagulase – negative staphylococci– Neisseria (Gram – negative cocci)– Corynebacterium spp. (Diphtheroids) (Gram – positive rods)– Anaerobic bacteria– Pathogens in low numbers (colonization vs. pathogenic) (S. aureus, Gram-negative rods (Enteric/Pseudomonas spp.)
• LOWER respiratory tract (trachea, bronchi, and bronchioles) is virtually free of microorganisms, mainly because of the efficient cleansing action of the ciliated epithelium

PATHOGENS OF THE LOWER RESPIRATORY TRACT

The Respiratory System: Collecting Specimens & Diagnosis
• Upper respiratory tract: Mucus membrane (throat, sinus) is wiped with a special collection swab. – Culture for isolation, identification
and susceptibility testing of pathogens
• Lower respiratory tract: Sputum and or bronchial specimens are collected into a sterile container.
– Gram stain for white blood cells and microorganism and to check for the quality of the specimen
– Culture for isolation, identification and
susceptibility testing of pathogens.

MEDIASheep Blood agar:
•Enriched (contains 5% sheep blood with tryptic soy agar base)•Differential (used to detect hemolysis of microorganisms)
•Microorganisms produce toxins called hemolysins that can break down red blood cells causing a visual change in the media

CATALASE TEST
Streptococci are Gram-positive, catalase negative (no bubbles)
Staphylococci are Gram-positive, catalase positive (bubbles)
![Page 13: LAB 7: RESPIRATORY SYSTEM. RESPIRATORY SYSTEM: UPPER AND LOWER](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649f145503460f94c28699/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Blood Agar - Hemolysins• Alpha-hemolysis – causes partial lysis of RBCs and
breakdown of hemoglobin which leads to a green color change in the agar.
• Beta-hemolysis – causes complete lysis of RBCs and breakdown of hemoglobin which leads to a colorless clearing in the agar.
• Gamma-hemolysis – an organism that does not cause hemolysis.
