Full transcript
- 0:00chapter 21 covers microbial diseases
- 0:03of the skin and eyes
- 0:06in this chapter you're going to
- 0:07understand the composition of the skin
- 0:09and normal microbiota that colonizes it
- 0:12you're going to know the types of
- 0:13staphylococcal and streptococcal
- 0:15infections and symptoms
- 0:16as well as their virulence factors
- 0:18you're going to be able to recognize
- 0:20pseudomonas infections
- 0:21know the three types of acne know the
- 0:24types of viral skin infections and
- 0:26symptoms
- 0:27understand viral latency reactivation
- 0:29and symptoms
- 0:30and no types of fungal skin infections
- 0:34before discussing the normal microbiota
- 0:36that inhabits the skin
- 0:38let's take a quick look at the structure
- 0:39of human skin you can see that the
- 0:41superficial layer here is the epidermis
- 0:43followed by the dermis
- 0:45within the dermis is going to be the
- 0:47hair follicle which is going to be
- 0:48responsible for the growth of the hairs
- 0:50as well as a sebum gland that produces
- 0:53oil
- 0:54and sweat glands now these perspiration
- 0:57or sweat glands and sebum glands are all
- 0:59contain
- 1:00nutrients and these nutrients are
- 1:02actually going to support both the
- 1:04skin as well as be nutrients for
- 1:07some microbiota salt does inhibit
- 1:10most microbes or non-salt tolerant
- 1:13microbes
- 1:14there will also be the presence of
- 1:16lysozymes which is that enzyme that's
- 1:18going to hydrolyze the peptidoglycan
- 1:21recall that the lysozyme is produced in
- 1:24the
- 1:24sweat glands and so that's going to
- 1:26inhibit and prevent pathogenic microbio
- 1:28microbes from inhabiting the skin
- 1:31there's also fatty acids
- 1:33that's going to be secreted here from
- 1:35sebum glands that are going to inhibit
- 1:37some pathogens so in addition to the
- 1:40skin and an extension to the skin we're
- 1:42going to be taking a look at some body
- 1:44cavities
- 1:44such as a nasal cavity now body cavities
- 1:48are going to be lined with mucous
- 1:49membranes
- 1:50mucous membranes are going to contain
- 1:52cells which have goblet cells that
- 1:54produce mucin
- 1:56and this mucin secretes mucus on top of
- 1:59these cells will be the presence of
- 2:00cilia which are responsible for
- 2:02moving the mucus around the purpose of
- 2:05that mucus is actually going to be to
- 2:06trap particles and prevent any
- 2:09pathogenic bacteria or prevent any
- 2:11foreign particles from entering into the
- 2:13body
- 2:15normal microbiota of the skin will
- 2:17contain several gram-positive
- 2:19salt tolerant bacteria which include
- 2:22staphylococci
- 2:23micrococci and some diptheroids and
- 2:26these are non-pathogenic dip
- 2:28thyroids now so the staphylococci that
- 2:31inhabits the skin ninety percent of that
- 2:33is gonna be staphylococcus
- 2:35staphylococcus epidermidis and it's also
- 2:38important to note that these bacteria
- 2:40are non-hemolytic
- 2:41so they do not lyse red blood cells and
- 2:43they're coagulase
- 2:44negative so they do not coagulate blood
- 2:47you also have the presence of some fungi
- 2:50present in skin folds
- 2:54in addition to salt tolerant bacteria
- 2:56there are other microorganisms that will
- 2:58grow
- 2:59on specific regions of the skin there
- 3:02are some microorganisms that can
- 3:04easily grow on oils and there's also
- 3:06others that have very specific
- 3:08oxygen requirements those microorganisms
- 3:11that grow on the surface of the
- 3:12epidermidis
- 3:13are a-robes which means they require
- 3:16oxygen for growth
- 3:17an example bacteria is corny bacterium
- 3:19cirrhosis
- 3:21there are some bacteria that can grow
- 3:22deep inside of hair follicles
- 3:24where there's not the presence of oxygen
- 3:27is not prevalent
- 3:28and so those will be anaerobe bacteria
- 3:32an example of an anaerobic bacteria is
- 3:34propionibacterium acnes
- 3:36as the name implies you can suspect what
- 3:39this bacteria does cause
- 3:41we'll get into this further in a later
- 3:43slide
- 3:44now there's also the presence of yeast
- 3:46that likes to grow on
- 3:48oily secretions this yeast is malassezia
- 3:51furfer
- 3:52and it is associated with dandruff and
- 3:55the scaling skin condition
- 3:56shampoos for treating dandruff actually
- 3:59can contain
- 4:00an antibiotic ketoconazole as well as
- 4:03zinc pyrothrium
- 4:04or selenium sulfide all of which are
- 4:06active against yeast
- 4:10now that you understand the normal
- 4:12microbiota that makes up the skin
- 4:14let's discuss some pathogenic bacteria
- 4:16that is responsible for
- 4:18skin diseases and so one of the most
- 4:20pathogenic of the staphylococci
- 4:22is a resident of nasal passages which is
- 4:25present in about 20 percent of the
- 4:26population and that's staphylococcus
- 4:28aureus
- 4:30staph aureus does have several virulence
- 4:32factors which help it evade host
- 4:34defenses
- 4:35and is also known to be multi-drug
- 4:37antibiotic resistant
- 4:39in fact you probably are familiar with
- 4:41two of the strains
- 4:42and here on this is going to be a
- 4:44confluent plate
- 4:46and there is going to be these
- 4:47antibiotic discs but i'm going to
- 4:49draw your attention to this m right here
- 4:51which actually stands for methicillin
- 4:53you can see that there's bacteria that's
- 4:55growing around it and so this is mrsa
- 4:57or methicillin-resistant staphylococcus
- 4:59aureus
- 5:00in the next few slides i'm going to be
- 5:02discussing some of these virulence
- 5:04factors that are responsible
- 5:06for causing uh skin diseases
- 5:10let's take a look at the effects of
- 5:11staphylococcus aureus staph aureus
- 5:14can release two different types of
- 5:16toxins and that's going to result
- 5:18in different syndromes toxin a is going
- 5:20to cause impedigo
- 5:22whereas toxin b can cause scalded skin
- 5:24syndrome
- 5:25what you are observing here this is
- 5:27actually scalded skin syndrome
- 5:29and it's actually a characteristic of
- 5:30the late stages of toxic shock syndrome
- 5:33so symptoms are going to include this
- 5:35red in skin and the skin is an appeal
- 5:38off in sheets so this toxin b is
- 5:41actually going to be due to an
- 5:42exfoliative toxin
- 5:44here you can see the normal skin and
- 5:46normal skin is actually held together by
- 5:48desmosomes
- 5:50in between cells and so an exfoliative
- 5:52toxin
- 5:53are actually going to be a type of
- 5:55serine protease
- 5:57that's going to selectively recognize
- 5:59and hydrolyze
- 6:00desmop desmosomal proteins that are in
- 6:03the skin
- 6:04and that's going to cause a skin to fall
- 6:05off in these sheets and peel off in
- 6:07sheets
- 6:08secondary infections too exfoliative
- 6:11toxins can be pseudomonas and candida
- 6:14in terms of epidemiology you'll notice
- 6:16that it's most common newborns
- 6:18or any individuals who are immune
- 6:20compromised
- 6:25moving on to other infections caused by
- 6:27the staphylococcus aureus bacteria
- 6:30there can be the penetration and
- 6:31infections of hair follicles
- 6:33so that's going to lead to folliculitis
- 6:35otherwise known as the pimple
- 6:36as you can see this is actually an
- 6:38infection of a hair follicle and
- 6:39accumulation of white blood cells that
- 6:41are trying to phagocytose that staph
- 6:43aureus infection
- 6:44a stye is going to be the same thing
- 6:46except on an eyelash
- 6:48a fur uncle will result in an abscess
- 6:51and the pus is going to be surrounded by
- 6:54inflamed
- 6:55tissue now a fur uncle can progress
- 6:58to neighboring tissues and also infect
- 7:00other
- 7:01hair follicles resulting in what's
- 7:03called a carbuncle
- 7:05and that's going to be an inflammation
- 7:06now of multiple
- 7:08uh hair follicles and the surrounding
- 7:10tissues
- 7:12an impenetrable is going to be a highly
- 7:15contagious
- 7:16skin infections that's going to
- 7:17typically infect children about two to
- 7:19five years of age
- 7:20this is where crusting or non-bola sores
- 7:22are gonna
- 7:23be present and this the spread of
- 7:26impetigo is caused by direct
- 7:28contact
- 7:31now you'll be able to recognize these
- 7:33staphylococcal skin infections visually
- 7:35beginning with folliculitis which is
- 7:37that infection of a single hair follicle
- 7:40and then here is a fur uncle this is
- 7:42going to result in
- 7:43inflammation and the surrounding tissues
- 7:46a fur uncle can lead to a carbuncle as
- 7:49you can see here there's
- 7:50multiple hair follicles that have been
- 7:52infected
- 7:54a stye is going to be a folliculitis but
- 7:56on the eyelash
- 7:58and then this is going to be impedigo
- 8:00once again caused by staphylococcus
- 8:01aureus bacteria
- 8:03and can be transported or transferred to
- 8:05another
- 8:06by direct contact
- 8:09another virulence factor of
- 8:11staphylococcal bacteria
- 8:12is going to be the ability to form
- 8:14biofilms
- 8:16biofilms are going to allow for the
- 8:17attachment onto certain certain surfaces
- 8:20for example they're actually a common
- 8:22cause
- 8:23of nosocomial infections because they
- 8:25accumulate on catheters
- 8:27as you can see in these images
- 8:31while on the topic of nosocomial
- 8:33infections we can now take a look at
- 8:34these staphylococcal wound infections
- 8:37causative agent staph aureus symptoms
- 8:40will be rather obvious and i'll show you
- 8:41that on the next slide
- 8:43pathogenesis is because of the ability
- 8:45to have this coagulase
- 8:47enzyme and as well as being able to
- 8:50evade
- 8:51host defenses and thereby then producing
- 8:55toxins that's going to cause us
- 8:56inflammation now how does a wound
- 8:58infection come about
- 8:59that could be from improper wound
- 9:01cleanliness as well as the transfer
- 9:04of staphylococcus aureus because of a
- 9:07source such as from nasal carriers from
- 9:09other
- 9:09patients or physicians or as well as
- 9:13displacing the staphylococcus aureus
- 9:15from one region
- 9:16to the next because of surgery
- 9:20here's a sternal wound infection from
- 9:23heart surgery that is caused by
- 9:24staphylococcus aureus
- 9:26you can see inflammation so this redness
- 9:29as well as destruction of some tissues
- 9:33this chart summarizes the virulence
- 9:35factors of staphylococcus aureus
- 9:37you'll notice that from these virulence
- 9:39factors how
- 9:40it can evade the host defenses produce
- 9:43toxins
- 9:44and also destroy tissues and so you can
- 9:47see one of the variance factors here is
- 9:49a capsule
- 9:50inhibits phagocytosis it's coagulased
- 9:52positive so it produces clots to inhibit
- 9:56white blood cells to really get to that
- 9:57site of infection it also can produce
- 9:59that exfoliative toxin
- 10:01causing scalded skin syndrome that's
- 10:03what separates the layers of the
- 10:05epidermis
- 10:06it also can produce hyaluronidase to
- 10:08dissolve connective tissues and
- 10:10penetrate to deeper tissues
- 10:12it can produce leukocytes which lyse
- 10:15white blood cells and also can produce
- 10:17hemolysins
- 10:18which lyse red blood cells it does have
- 10:21the presence of a lipase which degrades
- 10:24lipids
- 10:25proteases which breaks down proteins
- 10:27protein a which is actually going to
- 10:29inhibit phagocytosis
- 10:31and produced toxic shock syndrome
- 10:34toxin which is a super antigen
- 10:38the next type of bacteria that causes
- 10:40skin infections is going to be
- 10:41streptococcus pyogenes
- 10:44and you can see that from the genus this
- 10:46is a chain like
- 10:47coccy morphology bacteria beta-hemolytic
- 10:51streptococci
- 10:52is going to be the one that's associated
- 10:54with human diseases
- 10:56beta-hemolytic strep is going to be
- 10:57further classified according to
- 11:00different serological groups designated
- 11:03a through t
- 11:04and this is dependent on the antigenic
- 11:06carbohydrates of the cell
- 11:08wall group a strep is the most common
- 11:12and pathogenic of the streps and that's
- 11:14going to include streptococcus pyogenes
- 11:17during growth there will be the
- 11:18production of enzymes and other
- 11:20virulence factors
- 11:21that are responsible for local tissue
- 11:24destruction
- 11:25and possible sepsis on the right you
- 11:27will actually
- 11:28see here this is an irisy palace which
- 11:30is responsible
- 11:31or streptococci is responsible for the
- 11:33formation
- 11:34of the ceresi pellets otherwise known as
- 11:36holy fire you'll notice that there is no
- 11:38inflammation as also
- 11:39no pus formation
- 11:43group a streptococci or gas as it's
- 11:46abbreviated
- 11:47will have an m protein found on
- 11:50external cell wall on a fuzzy layer of
- 11:53fibrils
- 11:54you can actually see on the right here
- 11:55this is going to be fibrils that
- 11:57lack that m protein and on this side
- 12:00this is actually group a streptococci
- 12:02with the m protein and the purpose of
- 12:04this m protein is to evade the immune
- 12:06system
- 12:07and it will actually prevent the
- 12:08activation of complement and allows the
- 12:11microbe to evade phagocytosis
- 12:15in addition to erecipellas group a strep
- 12:18can also result in necrotizing fasciitis
- 12:21otherwise known as the flesh eating
- 12:23bacteria and this is from getting into
- 12:25minor breaks in the skin
- 12:27and causing these tissue destruction
- 12:30a group a strep will also have the
- 12:31presence of an exotoxin a that's going
- 12:33to act as a super antigen
- 12:35resulting in that massive cytokine storm
- 12:38and that's going to lead to
- 12:39streptococcal toxic shock syndrome
- 12:42of which there's only an 80 percent
- 12:44mortality rate from
- 12:48group a beta hemolytic streptococcus
- 12:50pyogenes is going to be the most common
- 12:52and pathogenic of the streptococci
- 12:54you can see that it contains several
- 12:56virulence factors
- 12:57with one of the more more notable
- 12:59factors is going to be this m
- 13:01protein that's going to prevent
- 13:02activation of the complement
- 13:04and inhibit phagocytosis in addition
- 13:08when it's shed from the bacteria it's
- 13:09going to form a complex with fibrinogen
- 13:12that's going to activate neutrophils
- 13:13leading to that streptococcal
- 13:15uh toxic shock syndrome as you saw with
- 13:17the necrotizing fasciitis in addition to
- 13:20this
- 13:20it does have the presence of an exotoxin
- 13:23exotoxin a
- 13:24that is going to result in the super
- 13:26antigen further leading to
- 13:27toxic shock syndrome another bacteria
- 13:31that can cause significant skin
- 13:33infections
- 13:34are the pseudomonads and you may be
- 13:36familiar with pseudomonas aeruginosa as
- 13:38we have covered this one in lab
- 13:40it is a gram-negative aerobic bacillus
- 13:43bacteria
- 13:45and it does produce this green
- 13:47coloration
- 13:48or blue green coloration that's an
- 13:50extracellular pigmentation
- 13:52pseudomonas ruganosa is common in water
- 13:55and
- 13:55soil and it's highly resistant to many
- 13:57antibiotics
- 13:58and disinfectants
- 14:02pseudomonas can be found in water and
- 14:05thrive
- 14:05in some dilute disinfectants it can be
- 14:08present in chlorinated pools and waters
- 14:10an infection from these areas will
- 14:13result in
- 14:14pseudomonas dermatitis a self-limiting
- 14:16rash that can resolve within two weeks
- 14:19another type of infection is swimmer's
- 14:21ear that's going to result in this
- 14:23inflammation of the external ear called
- 14:25otitis externa
- 14:27in addition to this immunocompromised
- 14:31individuals can be susceptible to this
- 14:34infection
- 14:35so this bacteria is highly opportunistic
- 14:38and can impair wound healing
- 14:40particularly for
- 14:42post-burn infections and individuals who
- 14:44had suffered second and third degree
- 14:46burns
- 14:50the next type of skin infection i'm
- 14:51going to discuss is acne
- 14:53and there are three types the first type
- 14:55you see here is called comodonal
- 14:57acne in normal situations there are
- 15:00cells that are shed
- 15:01and they can fall into these channels
- 15:04most of the time they are pushed out
- 15:06in comadonal acne this the shed cells in
- 15:10combination with sebum are going to
- 15:12cause a blockage of these channels
- 15:15treatments for comadonal acne can be
- 15:17exfoliating facial washes
- 15:19salicylic acid preparations and more
- 15:21rarely retinoids
- 15:23also note that comedonal acne is not
- 15:26caused by any bacterial infections
- 15:30the second type of acne is inflammatory
- 15:33acne
- 15:33and this is the result of an infection
- 15:36by bacterium
- 15:37the bacterium that causes inflammatory
- 15:39acne is propionibacterium acnes
- 15:42recall that this bacteria is present in
- 15:44hair follicles
- 15:46and is highly anaerobic treatments for
- 15:49inflammatory acne because this is a
- 15:51bacteria
- 15:52can be antibiotics such as tetracycline
- 15:57the third type of acne is nodular cystic
- 16:00acne
- 16:00this is the result of propiono bacterium
- 16:04acnes
- 16:05in which there is a prolonged bacterial
- 16:07infection
- 16:08causing an inflammatory response and
- 16:10eventually a formation of a large
- 16:12abscess or nodular cyst treatments for
- 16:15nodular cystic acne can be
- 16:17more intensive one such treatment is
- 16:20accutane or isotretinoin but before
- 16:23taking
- 16:23accutane an individual does need to sign
- 16:26an i pledge
- 16:27contract or and understand the i pledge
- 16:30program
- 16:31as accutane can result in the loss of
- 16:34pregnancy
