gram stain
postive or negative
based on chemical and physical properites of cell walls
gram postive
stains purple
gram negativr
stains red
obligate
needs oxygen
facultative
prefers oxygen
fastidious organisms
only be grown on enrimched media under careful conditions
hardy organisms
grown in simple media
aerobic organisms
bacteria grow best in prescence of oxygen
anaerobic organisms
bacteria grows best without oxygen
flagella
hair like processes
mobility
spores
dormant
extremely resistant bacterial modification
germinate and give rise to actively growing bacteria
where can staphylococcus be found
nasal cavity
skin
not pathogenic
opportunistic
produce toxins
staphylococci infections
skin infection sepsis endocarditis arthritis pneumonia abscess
where can streptococci be found
skin mouth pharynx gut female genital tract
opportunisitc
alpha hemolysis
incomplete lysis of red cells
not pathogenic
beta hemolysis
complete lysis of red cells
extremely pathogenic
antibiotics
destroy bactera or inhibit their growth
bacteria cel structure
genetic material produce proteins enzymes semipermeable cel membrane rigid cell wall
plasmids
smaller DNA molecules
anitbiotic resitance
toxin production
