Bacteria are single celled microorganisms, without a nucleus (prokaryotes), that can cause lots of morbidity and mortality. They are not infrequently seen by pathologists.

Actinobacteria

General

  • A very large group of bacteria.

It includes:[1]

  • Actinomycetes.
  • Corynebacterium.
  • Mycobacterium.
  • Nocardia.
  • Streptomyces.

Actinomycetes

General

Notes:

  • Mycete = fungus; these organisms have a fungus-like appearance.
    • Also called pseudomycosis.

Gross

  • Yellow granules.[3]

Microscopic

Features:[4][3]

  • Branching rods.
  • Typically form pink/purple granules ("sulfur granule") that is surrounded by inflammatory cells (lymphocytes or neutrophils).

DDx:

  • Nocardia.

Notes:

  • Sulfur granule may be seen grossly - yellow.[3]

Images

  • Actinomyces - high mag. (WC)

  • Actinomyces - very high mag. (WC)

  • Purulent encephalitis with actinomyces in HE. (WC/jensflorian)

  • Purulent encephalitis with actinomyces in Grocott. (WC/jensflorian)

Stains

  • Gram +ve.
  • AFB -ve.
    • Nocardia +ve.
  • PAS +ve.
    • May be confused with a fungus!
  • Grocott +ve.

Helicobacter pylori

  • Commonly abbreviated H. pylori or HP.

General

Microscopy

See Helicobacter gastritis.

Clostridium difficile

General

  • Gram positive bacillus.

One virulent strain is:[6][7] BI/NAP1.

  • Deletion of tcdC locus.
  • Resistant to fluoroquinolones (gatifloxacin and moxifloxacin).

Chlamydia trachomatis

  • May be referred to as Chlamydia.

General

Note:

  • Often co-exists with gonorrhea.

Microscopic

  • Variable.

Lymphogranuloma venereum:

Mycobacterium tuberculosis

  • Abbreviated TB.

General

  • Causes tuberculosis.
  • May mimic a malignancy.
  • Strong association with HIV.
  • TB has characteristics of Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria.[8]
    • Gram stain: subtle positive,[9] often weak positive/little staining.[10]
    • Genetically closer to Gram negative microorganism than Gram positive organisms - when the whole genome is considered.[11]

Clinical

Classic features - pulmonary/systemic:

  • Cough.
  • Fever.
  • Weight loss.

CNS manifestations:

  • Tuberculoma (mass).
  • Meningitis.
  • Abscess.

Tests:

  • PPD test, AKA Mantoux test, AKA TB skin test.

Treatment:

  • Multiple drugs for a long time (months).
    • Commonly used drugs: isoniazid, rifampin, pyrazinamide, and ethambutol.

Gross

Ghon complex

Consists of two components:[12][13]

  1. Peripheral focus - subpleural, calcified.
  2. Central focus - the hilar lymph node that drains the peripheral focus.

Microscopic

Features:

Note:

  • May be non-necrotizing.

Images:

Stains

  • Ziehl-Neelsen stain - red rod-shaped bacteria - key feature.
    • Very small - must use 40x objective.

Mycobacterium leprae

General

  • Causes leprosy.

Clinical:

  • Nerve damage -> injuries -> disability.

Microscopic

Features:

Mycobacterium avium complex

  • Abbreviated MAC.
  • Previously referred to as Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare, abbreviated MAI.

General

  • Refers to an infection with both:[16]
    • Mycobacterium avium
    • Mycobacterium intracellulare.

Microscopic

Features:

  • Small rod-shaped organisms - within histocytes.
  • +/-Granulomas.

DDx:

Stains

  • AFB +ve.

Note:

Coxiella burnetii

General

  • Causes: Q fever.

Features:

  • Gram negative.

Clinical:

  • Flu-like symptoms.

Microscopic

Features:

  • Fibrin ring granuloma.
    • Epithelioid macrophages (i.e. a granuloma) surrounding a thin pink (fibrin) ring.

DDx:[18]

  • Infections (Coxiella burnetii, CMV, EBV + others).
  • Drug reaction.
  • Malignancy (e.g. Hodgkin lymphoma[19]).
