Q

What were Pastures wine results?

A

1- microorganisms metabolise (eat and poo)
2- if microorganisms make wine sick then they can make people sick too
3- microorganisms do not spontaneously generate

25
Kochs 4 postulates:
1- Isolate pathogen and spread on agar surface and compare w healthy animal 2- Grow isolatedd pathogen 3- introduce it to healthy animal and see if they have the same symptoms 4- get same pathogen from newly sick animal
26
What did Koch prove?
Theory of disease
27
Why were Kochs experiments important?
Use his postulates today and his techniques (petri dishes, agar, staining)
28
When did Pasteurs Attenuation experiment take place?
1880
29
What is attenuation?
a weakened pathogen will give people immunity
30
How did Pasture weaken the pathogen?
aging, weak acid, passage through animals, drying it.
31
What did Fleming do?
Isolated first antibiotic penicillin.
32
what are the 4 drug targets?
genome ribosomes peptidoglycan folic acid
33
what drug targets the genome?
metronidazole
34
what drug targets the ribosomes?
tetracyclin
35
what drug targets peptidoglycan?
penicillin
36
what drug targets folic acid?
sulfonamides ex. sulfadoxine
37
strepto
chain
38
staphylo
clusters
39
diplo
pairs
40
tetrad
4 or 8 cube
41
pallisade
side by side like a fence
42
v-shaped arrangement
v's but rods only
43
cell membrane composition and function
phospholipid bilayer; entry/exit; no sterols
44
function of cytoplasm
solvent for chemical reactions
45
bacterial enzymes needed to use DNA
topoisomerase, DNA gyrase
46
what region is the genome found in?
nucleoid
47
what makes up ribosomes?
rRNA and polypeptides
48
ribosome function
protein production
49
ribosome size
70s
50
eukaryote size
80s
51
cell wall is composed of...
peptidoglycan
52
what are the two sugars that make up peptidoglycan?
NAG NAM
53
how are NAG NAM held together?
tetrapeptides
54
what is the function of the cell wall?
stop cell from bursting in hypotonic environment
55
How do "cillin" drugs affect peptidoglycan?
breaks cross linkages and water rushes in
56
what is lipid A and how is it realeased?
endotoxin; released when gram (-) bacteria die
56
what is an f plasmid
fertility plasmid
56
what is an r plasmid
resistance plasmid
56
function of f plasmid
to pass on DNA instructions to make sex pili
57
3 ways that r plasmid provides antibiotic resistance
1- efflux pump- pumps drug out too fast 2- enzymes break down drug 3- altering enzymes change shape or active site and drug cannot work
58
what is a virulence plasmid and what is another name for it?
toxin plasmis; t plasmids
59
function of t plasmids
produce toxins that attack the host body
60
function of bacteriocin plasmids
kill other bacteria because of competition
61
functions of sex pili
lay down cytoplasmic bridge so DNA can be transferred
62
function of fimbrae:
stick to surfaces
63
what are fimbrae made of?
pilin protein
64
what do counterclockwise flagella do?
run
65
what do clockwise flagella do?
tumble
66
what are flagella powered by?
proton pump
67
which bacteria is not mobile?
cocci
68
taxis definition
bacteria change behavior based on stimuli
69
how do flagella react to positive stimulua
longer run
70
lophotrichous
many flagella from one spot
71
monotrichous

76
capsule appearance
dense thick layer
77
4 ways glycocalyx increase pathogenicity
1- neutralize drugs 2- delay/fool immunce response 3- stick to surfaces 4- avoid phagocytosis
