A 55-year-old veterinarian was admitted to a hospital with a 2-day history of fever, chest pain, and cough. Gram-positive cocci were detected in his sputum, and he was treated for lobar pneumonia with penicillin. e next day, another Gram stain of his sputum revealed gram-negative rods, and he was switched to ampicillin and gentamicin. A sputum culture showed biochemically inactive gram-negative rods identied as Pantoea (Enterobacter) agglomerans. A_er uorescent-antibody staining and phage typing, Yersinia pestis was identied in the patients sputum and blood, and chloramphenicol and tetracycline were administered. e patient died 3 days a_er admission to the hospital. Tetracycline was given to his 220 contacts (hospital personnel, family, and co-workers). What disease did the patient have? Discuss what went wrong in the diagnosis and how his death might have been prevented. Why were the 220 other people treated? (Hint: Refer to Chapter 23.)

A 6-year-old girl was admitted to a hospital with endocarditis. Blood cultures showed a gram-positive, aerobic rod identified by the hospital laboratory as Corynebacterium xerosis. Te girl died afer 6 weeks of treatment with intravenous penicillin and chloramphenicol. Te bacterium was tested by another laboratory and identified as C. diphtheriae. Te following test results were obtained by each laboratory

Using the following information, create a dichotomous key for distinguishing these unicellular organisms. Which cause human disease?
