A clinical microbiology laboratory is preparing a Gram stain of a mixed bacterial culture containing both Gram-positive and Gram-negative organisms. The correct order of reagents used in the Gram staining procedure is:
An immunocompromised patient develops a disseminated fungal infection. Tissue biopsy reveals small (2-4 µm) yeast cells within macrophages. The patient has a history of living in the Ohio and Mississippi River valleys. The MOST likely causative agent is:
A clinical microbiology laboratory is investigating a cluster of Clostridium difficile infections in a hospital. Which of the following methods is MOST appropriate for determining if the isolates from different patients are related?
A research laboratory is investigating the mechanisms of antigenic variation in Trypanosoma brucei, the causative agent of African trypanosomiasis. The parasite evades the host immune response by periodically changing its surface coat protein. This process primarily involves:
A microbiology laboratory is investigating an outbreak of bloodstream infections in a neonatal intensive care unit. Isolates of Staphylococcus epidermidis from multiple infants show indistinguishable banding patterns by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). This finding MOST strongly suggests:
A patient with a history of neutropenia following chemotherapy develops a rapidly progressive pneumonia. Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid reveals septate hyphae with acute angle (45-degree) branching. The MOST likely diagnosis is invasive pulmonary aspergillosis caused by:
Microscopic examination of a potassium hydroxide (KOH) preparation of skin scrapings from a patient with tinea versicolor typically reveals:
Under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA), participation in an approved external Proficiency Testing (PT) program serves primarily to:
During the investigation of a foodborne illness outbreak linked to raw sprouts, several bacterial isolates are obtained from patient stool samples and the implicated food source. Which of the following molecular methods would be MOST useful for establishing a definitive link between the clinical isolates and the food isolate?
A patient presents with perianal itching, particularly at night. Microscopic examination of cellophane tape preparation from the perianal area reveals oval-shaped eggs with one flattened side. The MOST likely causative organism is:
