0614 streptococcus pyogenes medical images for powerpoint

Description:

The image provided appears to be an educational illustration that depicts the structure and components of Streptococcus pyogenes, a bacteria responsible for many human infections. The image divides the bacterial components into extracellular substances and structural components such as the capsule, cell membrane, cell wall, carbohydrates and proteins, with specific mentions of hyaluronic acid, peptidoglycan, and lipoteichoic acid.

In the extracellular substances cluster, it lists the following:

1. Streptolysins: 

Enzymes that can damage host tissues and cells.

2. NADase: 

An enzyme that could affect the host cell metabolism.

3. Hyaluronidase: 

An enzyme facilitating spread through tissues.

4. Streptokinases: 

Enzymes that can degrade blood clots.

5. Streptodornase: 

DNases that reduce the viscosity of pus and facilitate the spread.

6. Streptolysin: 

Another mention that seems to be an oversight, as it's already included above.

7. Pyrogenic exotoxins: 

Toxins that can cause fever and rash.

As for the structural components, the image highlights:

1. Capsule (hyaluronic acid): 

Helps in evasion from the host immune system.

2. Cell membrane: 

The phospholipid bilayer of the bacteria.

3. Peptidoglycan (cell Wall): 

Provides structure and protection.

4. Group carbohydrate antigen (C substance), R antigens, and proteins: 

Likely reference to antigens present in the cell wall that may play a role in immunity.

5. Lipoteichoic acid (LTA): 

Is involved in cell wall structure and may play a role in immunity as well.

The image also notes the Fimbrial Antigen and M protein, which are associated with adhesion and immune system avoidance, respectively.
