Plemomorphic Bactria
Can have more than one genetically controlled shape
Pleomorphic
Sugar coat outside cell wall that is viscous and sticky.
Contains polysaccharide and/or polypeptide
Capsule if organized
Slime layer if unorganized
Glycocyx
Important virulence factor
Protect from from phagocytosis
Allows bacteria to attach to surfaces
Capsule
Structures external to cell wall
Treponema pallidum
Spirochete
Cause syphilis
Found in gram negative bacteria
Shorter straighter, thinner than flagella
Made of protein pilin
Fibriae
Pili
Joins cells for transfer of DNA from one cell to another
Pili
Sex pili
Enable cell to adhere to surfaces
If absent no colonization of bacteria no disease
Forms biofilms
Fimbriae
