What two processes are stopped by DNAse?
Natural transformation and Artificial Transformation
What processes must be similar to exchange genetic material?
Specialized, General Transduction, and Conjugation
Name a drug that is a siderophore. A drug that binds to Fe to stay put in the bacterial internal environment and not get punted by the efflux pump.
Albomycin
Alpha hemolytic will turn the plate what color? Beta hemolytic will turn the plate what color? Gamma hemolytic will turn the plate what color?
Alpha hemolytic will turn the plate blood red to green Beta hemolytic will turn the plate blood red to yellow Gamma hemolytic will turn the plate light purple or no color change
What is special about a chocolate augar plate? Similar bacteria called what grow on other plates?
Breaks down red blood cells for bacteria that do not have the capacity for the cell breakdown Satellite colonies

Bacitran
Bacilli have what three types of bacteria?
Vibrio, Fusiform Bacilli, Spirilla
______________are small, positively-charged molecules that poke holes in microbes because microbial cell surfaces are negatively-charged
Defensins
HBD2 and HBD3 are types of defensins that kill different kinds of bacteria? What are they?
Defensins are constantly or not constantly made via the intestinal epithelium?
Defensins are positively or negatively charge?
HBD2 kills Gram - HBD3 kills Gram -/+
Constantly made
positively charged, microbial charged bacteria are negative, opposites attract
What 2 items are susceptible to MAC? What 3 are not susceptible to MAC?
Enveloped iscosahedral Nucleocapsid and Gram - (susceptible) Nonenveloped icosahedral nucleocapsid, acid fast, and gram + (non-susceptible)
MAC formation requires the presence of an accessible ____________ on the target cell on which to build the pore complex
If an individual is having a problem with gram neg. and enveloped viruses only, what is wrong with the MAC?
phospholipid membrane
most likely C6-C9 problems, the other other anaphylaxins help fight the other types of bacteria
The complement cascade can be avoid in two ways. Human cells and some bacteria have ________. What does it do?
Delay Activating Factor -> they inhibit the MAC formation
Besides the DAF, what is another way that Bacteria can avoid the complement cascade?
Bacteria hold onto the C3 component and do not allow molecule to break into C3a and C3b
