4 Types of coccus bacteria
Diplococcus bacteria, Streptococcus bacteria, Staphylococcus bacteria and Enterococcus bacteria.
26
These cells can exist in several different arrangements
``` Diplococci (Neisseria) Streptococci (Streptococcus) Tetrad (Micrococci) Sarcinae Staphylococci (Staphylococcus) ```
27
A (plural diplococci) round bacterium (a coccus) that typically occurs in pairs of two joined cells.
Diplococcus
28
meaning double
Diplo
29
Meaning berry
Coccus
30
A type of rod-shaped bacteria.
Coccobacillus
31
arranged in grape-like clusters of cells.
Staphylococcus bacteria
32
can cause serious health issues.
methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)
33
arranged in chains or rows, which vary in length.
Streptococcus Bacteria
34
are arranged in pairs or short chains.
Enterococcus Bacteria
35
May also be used to describe any rod-shaped bacterium, and in this sense, bacilli are found in many different taxonomic groups of bacteria.
Bacillus
36
Scientists classify living organisms into groups, with kingdoms being the broadest and species being the most specific.
taxonomists
37
is a class of bacteria (this will be the focus of the lesson)
Bacilli
38
a genus of bacteria (genus names are usually italicized or underlined)
Bacillus
39
(plural: bacillus) refers to bacteria that have a rod shape
Bacili
40
Groups of bacteria are often classified based on their shape, how they move, and how the outside of the cell or its covering looks.
Bacillales and Lactobacillales
41
cells can exist in several different arrangements
``` Monobacillus Diplobacilli Streptobacilli Palisades Coccobacillus ```
42
remains single rod-shaped cell after dividing.
Monobacillus
43
cells remain in pairs after dividing.
Diplobacilli
44
cells remain in chains after dividing.
Streptobacilli
45
cells in a chain are arranged side-by-side instead of end-to-end and are partially attached.
Palisades
46
cells are short with a slight oval shape, resembling both coccus and bacillus bacteria.’
Coccobacillus
47
Types of Bacilli
Escherichia coli | Other strains
48
bacteria are bacillus shaped bacteria.
Escherichia coli (E. coli)
49
are pathogenic and can cause intestinal disease, urinary tract infections, and meningitis.
Other strains
50
(helical) shape, form the third major morphological category of prokaryotes along with the rod-shaped bacilli and round cocci
Bacteria of SPIRAL
51
a rigid spiral bacterium that is Gram-negative and | frequently amphitrichous or lophotrichous.
SPIRILLUM
52
are a group of bacteria characterized by a corkscrew (spiral) appearance.
Spirilla
53
refers to the ability of an organism to cause disease (ie, harm the host)
Pathogenicity
54
three main genera
1. Spirillum 2. Aquaspirillum 3. Ocenospirillum
55
commonly found in marine environments.
Oceanospirillum
56
commonly found in freshwater habitats.
Aquaspirillum
57
commonly | found in freshwater environments
Spirillum
58
it can be found in the digestive tract where it's responsible for sores, ulcers, and gastritis.
Helicobacter pylori
59
-genus of the phylum Proteobacteria. -a member of this group is an enteric bacteria that cause gastroenteritis in human beings
Campylobacter
60
a very thin, elongate, flexible, spiral bacteria that is motile via endoflagella.
spirochete (plural spirochetes)
61
5 members of spirochete
``` ● Treponema ● Spironema ● Leptospira ● Spirochaeta ● Borrelia ```
