Study These Flashcards
A

GN, Spiral bacilli

Q

Prevotella - Stain? Structure?

25
Proteus - Stain? Structure?
GN, Bacilli
26
Pseudomonas - Stain? Structure?
GN, Bacilli
27
Shigella - Stain? Structure?
GN, Bacilli
28
Vibrio - Stain? Structure?
GN, Curved bacilli
29
Yersinia - Stain? Structure?
GN, Bacilli
30
Moraxella - Stain? Structure?
GN, cocci
31
Neisseria - Stain? Structure?
GN, cocci
32
Mycobacterium - Stain? Structure?
Acid Fast, Bacilli | Why: Mycolic acids prevent gram staining (even though technically GP)
33
Ricketssia - Stain? Structure?
NA, Bacilli | Why: GN cell structure, no peptidoglycan - doesn't stain well
34
Chlamydia - Stain? Structure?
NA, Cocci | Why: GN cell structure, no peptidoglycan - doesn't stain well
35
Chlamydophila - Stain? Structure?
NA, Cocci | Why: GN cell structure, no peptidoglycan - doesn't stain well
36
Mycoplasma - Stain? Structure?
NA, Filamentous | Why: No cell wall + very small - microscopy is useless
37
Treponema - Stain? Structure?
Dark field microscopy, Spirochete | Why: GN cell structure, peptidoglycan too thin - doesn't stain well
38
Borrelia - Stain? Structure?
Wright/Giesma, Spirochete | Why: GN cell structure, thin peptidoglycan, too thin to be seen with light microscope
39
Leptospira - Stain? Structure?
NA, Spirochete | Why: GN cell structure, thin peptidoglycan, too thin to be seen with light microscope
