Streptococcal pharyngitis
- Bacterial
- Pathogen: Streptococcal pyogenes- gram-positive strep A group (GAS)
- strep throat, inflammed mucous membranes of throat
-
Scarlet Fever
- Bacteria
- Pathogen: Streptococcus pyogenes- erythrogenic toxin-producing strains, when the strain produces this toxin-->it has been lysogenized by a bacteriophage
- reddening of skin
-
Diphtheria
- Bacteria
- Pathogen: Corynebacterium diphtheriae- gram-positive non-endospore forming rod
- sore throat, tough grayish membrane that forms in the throat that can black the passage of air to the lungs
-
Otitis Media
- Bacteria
- Pathogen: Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, and Haemophilus influenzae
- middle ear infection, earache
-
Common cold
- Viral
- Pathogen: Rhinoviruses, coronaviruses
- coughing, sneezing, runny nose
-
Pneumococcal pneumonia
- Common Bacterial Pneomonias
- Pathogen: Streptococcus pneumoniae- gram-positive ovoid bacterium
- infected alveoli of lung fill with fluid; interferes with oxygen uptake
-

Mycoplasmal pneumonia
- Common Bacterial Pneomonias
- Pathogen: mycoplasma pneumoniae
- "Walking" pneumonia
- mild but persistent respiratory symptoms
- TETRACYCLINE
-
Legionellosis
- Common Bacterial Pneomonias
- Pathogen: Legionella pneumophilia
- potentially fatal pneumonia
-
Psittacosis (ornithosis)
- Common Bacterial Pneomonias

-
Histoplasmosis
- Fungal
- Pathogen: Histoplasma capsulatum- dimorphic fungus, yeastlike morphology
-
Influenza
- Viral
- Pathogen: Infuenzavirus
- HA spikes- allow the virus to recognize and attach to body cells before infecting them
- NA spikes- enzymatically help the virus separate from the infected cell as the virus exits after intracellular reproduction
