• beer production
• commonly found in arsenic soils

• high acid producers
• lining of vagina

found on mucous membranes; opportunistic

• breaks down small molecules on surface of skin
• if you're immunocompromised, it can cause scepsis or renal failure or pneumonia

• diphtheria (bullneck) 
• when patient has bullneck, it can be one of these:
• mumps can cause this
• benign head/ neck tumors
• obesity
• diphtheria: toxin is on a virus; phage contains toxin (potent)

• gets double knock out
• -> lymphdema: not enough air flow due to mechanical problem--> can get pneumonia on top

behind the grey pseudomembrane, all the tissue is dead; it can kill any tissues

causes tuberculosis

• in general, mammalian immune system does a bad job dealing with it
• has strains that are resistant

remodeling in lungs that form a structre in lung called the ghon complex that has bacteria and immune cells

• --> if cure, that's enough to keep you alive
• --> if freq. infected, the ghon complex bursts

if in lungs, reinfection of the bacteria and formation of ghon complex, which prevents respiration from occurring

if into pleural cavity: systemic tuberculosis--> migrates and finds new territory (liver, kidney, colon)--> miliary tuberculosis------>

liver: immune system can't do anything--> ghon complexes--> metabolic and physical function not occurring

leprosy

body can't deal well with bacterium; tissue remodeling in cartilage

ghon like nodules--> can be in joints and deforms joints

large shallow open sores; hypoxia below; loss of normal architecture

secondary infection over feelt and hands where open sores are located

not a lot of damage to elbow and knee

pulmonary Nocardiosis in compromised patients

very rapid onset
