Clinical Case Study Boils in the Locker Room
For several weeks, faculty, students, and staff at Rayburn High School have been dealing with an epidemic of unsightly, painful boils and skin infections. Over 40 athletes have been too sore to play sports, and 13 students have been hospitalized. Nurses take clinical samples of the drainage of the infections from hospitalized students, and medical laboratory scientists culture the samples. Isolated bacterial colonies are circular, convex, and golden. The bacterium is Gram-positive, mesophilic, and facultatively halophilic and can grow with or without oxygen. The cells are spherical and remain attached in clusters.
- 1. What color are the
Gram-stained cells? - 2. What does the term “facultatively halophilic” mean?
- 3. What is the scientific description of the bacterium's oxygen requirement?
- 4. If the bacterium divides every 30 minutes under laboratory conditions, how many cells would there be in a colony after 24 hours?

- write out a detailed summary on E.Coli. Questions below will help yu frame your summary. Please describe the bacterium. What is its shape and size? Is it Gram-positive or negative? Pictures are always fun! If you can find a microscopic image – include it. What is/are the reservoir(s)? e.g. water, food, human, etc. Are there parameters needed for infection? (Temperature, pH) What is/are the mode(s) of transmission. If it's foodborne - is it linked to a specific food? How many cases occur each year?

Shape and arrangement of your pathogen Borrelia burgdorferi more famously known as Lyme disease has a spiral shape and an arrangement called spirochete which are spiral-shaped bacteria that resemble a long coil. 3. Type of flagella, number, and correctly named arrangement of the flagella (example: monotrichous) Because Borrelia burgdorferi is a spirochete they have a unique way in which they move. They have what’s called axial filaments. Axial filaments lap themselves around the bacteria between the cell wall and an outer sheath and are bound at the ends of the bacteria. The fibrils then spin and help move the bacteria in a spiral form. A good example of this motion would be a drill and a drill bit. They are also known as Endoflagella. 4. Capsule or not (If yes, describe what is it made from) Borrelia burgdorferi doesn’t have capsules but what’s called a slime layer.
