capsule functions - passive defense

protection (anti-phagocytic) , slippery nature, protects from drying
I. Protection: due to it’s anti-phagocytic nature ( virulence factor)
A. protects pathogenic bacteria from host cell phagocytosis
2. slippery nature - makes it difficult to surround and engulf. bacteria gets inside cell, because of capsule, will remain in vesicle. fusion with lysosome is prevented. then bacteria replicate in phagocyte then out into cytoplasm.
3. protects cell from drying ; due to it’s functional capacity to bind and retain water molecules ( hydrophilic nature) prevents cell drying or desiccation

tail (snake) (cell wall)

tetrapeptide composed of alternating D and L amino acids because they are the isomers of the amino acids- attaches to NAM sugar via a complex linkage- minimizes tendency to form helices and provides an extended “rigid” - STABILIZES peptidoglycan structure peptide chain

Perfectly

bridge (chain) (cell wall) (2/3)

crosslink between parallel tetrapeptide side chains reinforces and confers 2 or 3 dimensional stability to the peptidoglycan structure. made of either short chain of amino acids or directly bonded to one another - links 3rd residue of one chain to the 4th residual amino acid of the adjacent tetrapeptide chain

B cells activation by capsules chemical components. B cells are activated independent of T cells and are differentiated into antibody producing plasma cells as well as memory B cells Ab secreted by plasma cells protects against invading pathogens. Memory cells long half life; it’s differentiation into plasma cells BCR and cross linking by repetitive capsule components for B cell activation
B cells are part of adaptive immunity. B cells proliferation and differentiation following activation via BCR.

ex. of colonization

Streptococccus mutans and dental plaque scrape teeth to get rid of it.acids destroy tooth surface. it colonizes tooth surface, then produces acid from food particles. acid destroys tooth surface

capsule used to make vaccine

Vaccines : Brevnair -13 (capsule component from 13 different strains) vaccine against streptococcus pneumonia
13 different strains from pneumonia incorporated in vaccine.
activates b-cell receptors (BCRs). They bind to strep capsule. BCR and polysaccharid gets cross linked, then activation, proliferation, and differentiation
of B cell. then forms plasma cells, just differentiated B cells, the antibodies. B cells make antibodies, and they bind to bacteria, and prevent infection from initiating by bacterial cell. B cells are adaptive.

accessory structures (membrane)

chromosome, plasmid, ribosomes, inclusions

inclusions (membrane)

volutin granules, polysaccharide granules, , β- Hydroxy butyric acid granules

gram - cell wall (where)

periplasm and periplasmic space. thin layered, suspended in the periplasmic space - stably anchored to outer membrane

Gram negative 2 pairs of rings

an outer and inner one (outer - cell wall. Inner - attached to cytoplasm - gram negative

active defense barrier

directs attack on host defense cells, like macrophages, T-helper cells, B cells. remain inside macrophages (riding in police car) and then multiply. ex. measles attacks B and T cells, can develop lethal pneumonia.

plasma membrane is...

is thin structure lies inside the cell wall, encloses cytoplasm- defines the external boundary of cell- plasma membrane components

dynamic role

plasma membrane - acts as selective barrier; monitors flow in both direction • helps maintain constant, appropriate internal environment. ATP

plasma membrane structure

fluid mosaic - sea

plasma proteins

are in motion laterally: grouped into 2 classes, Integral proteins: permeases Proteins: are in motion laterally: grouped into 2 classes, Integral proteins: extend into or through the lipid bilayer - typically are trans membrane proteins. peripheral - attach to inner and outer surface of membrane. functions as enzymes, scaffold, receptors etc

plasma membrane made of...

phospholipids, proteins, glycoproteins. no cholesterol - exception: Mycoplasma membrane

pbp

penicillin binding protein - facilitates bridge or crossbridge in gram positive and gram negative cells. pencillin causes osmotic lysis.

Protoplast

gram + cells stripped of its cell wall. osmotically fragile

Spheroplast

gram - cells partially stripped of its cell wall, can’t completely strip gram - cell wall - always some part still there

surgical would infection

s. aureus

spores have no

metabolism

the periplasmic space is between the

plasma membrane and the outer cell wall

bacillus anthracis germinates in

alveoli of lungs

cloistridium botulism germinates in

intestines

tail is always linked to

NAM - more functional groups to attach to

dextrorotary - D amino acid

less common

laveoratory - L amino acid

more common

alternating nag and nam prevent

helices from forming

lipotechoic acids (ft tech)

span the length and attach to plasma membrane lipids

wall techoic (bed wall)

embedded in peptidoglycan layer - cell wall

techoic acids hold..

everything together

gives negative charge to gram +

phosphate

lipoproteins in gram - (hip)

stably anchor peptidoglycan to outer membrane

teichoic acid provides..

antigenic specificity - we recognize it as foreign

pamps are on..

bacteria. it's a barcode

techoic acids are found..

in our intestines, skin and oral cavity

tlr

is a prr on wbc. they recognize pamps - techoic acid. lipopolysaccharide, flagella, dna. cause inflammation.

pro-inflammatory cytokines - IL 1, 16 and 18

secreted from defense cells. promotes inflammation to eliminate pathogen

lipoproteins

porin proteins are

trans proteins and channel proteins

mac lysis is a ___response

innate

gram - in our body

e.coli and entobacterium

variable in gram -

sugar coating, not variable is the lipopolysaccharide. - composition of polysaccharide varies amongst bacteria sps even in same species, polysac. different ex. E.Coli 0157:H7 (in cattle). E. Coli K12 -(human intestines). When 0157 gets inside humans from eating meat not cooked, it secretes toxin harmful to kidneys. Children cannot fight it. toxin and targets kidney cells in kids, blood vessels. most who died were kids or elderly.

syrum resistant strains

evolved to escape mac lysis - neissan gonorrhea

How bacterial membrane differs from eukaryotic membranes ?

Mycoplasma membrane unique feature

no cholesterol in

bacterial membrane, but it's protected by rigid cell wall

has cholesterol

mycoplasma membrane, smallest living organism. no cell wall, so antibiotics don't work on it.

not static

plasma membrane

disinfectants

lysol - it is phenol based organic solvent. always works on inanimate objects only. humans use antiseptic like alcohol. dissolves lipids, content leaks out, cell dies.

polymixin (neosporin)

binds to membrane phospholipids and disrupts membrane structure. alters permeability causing leakage, cell death. applied topically only.

endotoxin fever induction

bacteria recognized as non self, macrophage active, pick up bacteria,. oxygen will flush and bacteria will die and lipid A will be released. macrophage will be "activated" and it will secret interlukin 1 (which is pro-inflammatory) into bloodstream, travel to hypothalamus. activates an enzyme called cox enzyme, or cyclo oxygenic. will generate prostoglandins. it resets the switch for temperature regulation

lipopolysaccharide

It’s asymmetric lipid bilayer; made of, inner leaflet made of phospholipids. outer leaflet lipopolysaccride

anti-inflammatory drugs used when

TLRs are activated bc they cause inflammation

techoic acids inside us

intestines, skin, oral cavity, are called mamps

MAC is formed

typically on the surface of pathogen cell membranes as a result of the activation of the host's complement system

the innate response is (storm)

complement protein, cytokine

pamps are just MLLTP

MLLTP mycobacteria. lipopolysaccharide, lipoteichoic acids, peptidoglycan, lipoproteins. The body recognizes that pamps are invaders. used by innate immune.

advantages of fever

you take rest , and energy is used to fight bacteria. increased temperature may slow bacterial growth. Increased temperature also enhances cellular reactions of the defense cells in eliminating pathogens (as we heat in chemistry to increase chemical reaction rates

1st line of defense (PCM)

physical barrier, chemical barrier, normal microflora

2nd line of defense

compliment proteins and MAC lysis, inflammation, phagocytosis

3rd line of defense

B and T cells (adaptive)

chemical barrier

ph of stomach lysosomes
