1.Name the biochemical tests performed to identify E. cloacae.
2.Name expected reactions of above biochemical tests which are definitive.
3.What other organisms have similar biochemical reactions?
4.How will the tech be able to differentiate between organisms which cannot convert nitrate to nitrite when no color forms initially in the nitrate reduction test?
5.What is the characteristic of the organism which causes the pink colony appearance on Maconkey agar?
6.How does the CAPD (continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis) fluid gram stain findings correlate with the culture plates?
7.Patient has end stage renal disease. Which test results are indicative of kidney damage? And grade degree of kidney damage comparing patient results with normal range.
8.Patient is also diabetic. Which of his chemistry results are indicative of diabetic condition?
9.ALT enzyme and ALP enzyme results are abnormal as well. Name organs (multiple) which may be associated with abnormal ALP and ALT levels.
10.Many neutrophils being observed in CAPD fluid might be an indicator of _______.
11.Read resource link and summarize general symptoms of CAPD, the types of organisms responsible for CAPD infections and associated mortality risks.
12. Summarize CADP-related mortality from this link:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15981776
13. A capstone course requirement is for students to reflect on aspects of prior
coursework which provided background knowledge for their investigation
into clinical case studies. Please recall subjects/labs/courses which helped
inform your background knowledge related to this case study.
