Q

Simple Stain

A

Simple staining involves directly staining the bacterial cell with a positively charged dye in order to see bacterial detail, in contrast to negative staining where the bacteria remain unstained against a dark background

Q

Differential Staining

A

What is Differential Staining? Differential staining is a procedure where more than one dye is used to differentiate between different types of microorganisms on a slide. This type of staining helps to differentiate between cell types and cell structures.

Q

Heterotroph vs Autotroph

A

H- means they feed on organic matter
A- means they can make their own food

24
Q

Prokaryotes

A

before the nucleus no nucleus or other organelles

25
Eukaryotes
true nucleus has a nucleus and other organelles
26
Cell Nucleus
a membrane-bound structure that contains the cell hereditary info and controls the cells growth and reproduction
27
Mitochondria
convert the energy of food molecules into the ATP that powers most cell functions
28
A chromosome
DNA molecule with part of all of the genetic material of an organism
29
Protozoa
Protozoa are one-celled animals found worldwide in most habitats.
30
Helminths
parasitic worm
31
Nematoda
round worm
32
Platyhelminthes
flat worm
33
cestodes
tapeworm
34
COncentration Techniques
USED TO INCREASE THE LIKELIHOOD OF DETECTING PARASITES BY CONCENTRATING THE PARASITE FORMS AND SEPARATING PARASTIES FROM FECAL DEBRIS AND HTHUS MAKING THEM EASIER TO SEE
35
Flotation Technique
uses solutions of higher specific gravity than the parasites causing the parasites to float to the solutions top while heavier fecal debris settle to the bottom
36
Sedimentation Technique
uses solutions of lower spesific gravity than the parasites, causing parasites to collect in the sediment when the specimen is centrifuged
37
Loa Loa Filariasis
skin and eye disease caused by nematode worm loa loa
38
Virus Shapes
Crystals spheres cylinders spacecraft
39
Superficial Infection
one confined to the outermost part of the skin and hair layer
40
Cutaneous Infection
affect the keratinized later of the skin nails or hair
41
Subcutaneous
infections deeper then skin affecting the muscle and connective tissue
42
Systemic infection
affect the lungs and can disseminate to the internal organs or the deep tissues of the body
43
Culturing Fungi Temp and Time
30 degrees for 4-6 weeks
44
The germ tube test
used to identift C albicans
45
Chlamydospore
thick walled larage resting spore
46
Pathogen
a deisease causing microorganism
47
Rickettsia
parasites that live inside the cells of other living organisms
48
Cocci Bacilli Sprillia shape
round rod corkscrew or spiral
49
Diplio Strepto Straphyl grouping
pairs chains clusters/groups
50
Flagella
treadlike projections simailar to a tail that allow the organism to move
51
6 groups of organisms
bacteria algae protozoa helminths fungi viruses
52
Supportive Media
They support the growth of many microorganisms.
53
Selective Media
inhibit certain bacteria while allowing others to grow
54
differential media
used to differentiate between bacterias
55
Cycle of infection
agent reservior mode of escape vector mode of entry susceptible host
