Question
Chapter 18.2, Problem 9ELO
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The epidemiology and pathogenesis of the streptococcal species and how they are differentiated in the laboratory.
Introduction:
Streptococcus species are involved in a number of diseases, including skin infections, pharyngitis and systemic infections. Group A Streptococci must be identified at the earliest; laboratory techniques for rapid identification have therefore been developed for this purpose.

Recall the epidemiology and pathology of the medically importantorganisms in the genera Moraxella and Acinetobacter.
Write a 1-2 paragraph case study that accurately depicts the disease caused by Clostridium Botulinum. If your organism is transmitted in a specific location or under certain circumstances be sure your patient has been to those locations or engaged in those behaviors that would lead to transmission
Have the appropriate timeline in terms of incubation and length of illness.
Cover the important symptoms. You do not have to give all possible symptoms, just the typical one.
Provide some important laboratory test results without stating the name of your microorganism.
Provide the Epidemiology, Pathogenesis, Clinical Manifestations, Laboratory Tests, Treatment and Prevention.
Please refer to the given scenario below. What is the most appropriate sample to
be collected to isolate the causative agent of the infection? *
A 46-year-old male encountered a motor-vehicular accident (MVA) resulting in
multiple injuries on his anterior chest and left lower extremities. Aside from the injury, his
medical history was unremarkable. The patient was admitted for nine days and underwent
debridement and was discharged with an external fixator. However, during his admission, on
his 7m post-operative day, the wound was noted to have persistent purulent, bloody
discharge from drain site, which is highly suggestive of surgical site infection (SSI).
