Dental Caries
The equivalent of having a cavity,
Specifically caused by bacteria in presence inside the plaque
- How are dental caries prevented in humans?
Fluoride treatment + lifestyle adjustabilities (no high sugar/energy drinks)
- Gonorrhea is transmitted through sexual intercourse or bodily fluids and it infects the throat, urethra, cervix, or rectum and can spread to the eyes and internal organs causing conjunctivitis and arthritic meningitis. In women it causes pelvic inflammatory disease and the __________become scarred and blocked. Fill in the blank.
fallopian tubes
- Which bacteria causes syphilis?
Treponema pallidum.
- How can one contract syphilis?
Syphilis can be sexually transmitted
- How many stages of syphilis exist?
4 stages
- Which statement describes the last stage symptoms of syphilis?
Heart disease, motor system injuries
- What does it mean that chlamydia has viral and bacterial characteristics?
The chlamydia disease is done by the chlamydia bacteria
- Which statement describes how one contracts chlamydia or describes its later-stage symptoms?
You can contract it through vaginal and oral intercourse.
Can cause pelvic inflammatory disease
Inflammation to your heart & permanent damage
- There are many beneficial prokaryotes within our environment. Which of these statements describes a way bacteria can be environmentally useful?
They’re involved in the composition
Bacteria have the ability to do
Fixation: when you’re turning this gas into something that you can now put in the ground
- Many bacterial species can have mutualistic relationships with plant or animal species. Which of these statements describe an example discussed in class?
- Many bacterial species can have communalistic relationships with plant or animal species. Which of these statements describe an example discussed in class?
The bacteria on your skin eating your skin are benefitting from it because they’re eating your dead skin cells.
An herbivore eating plants (Example: a cow eating plants)
- According to the video How Bacteria Rule over Your Body – The Microbiome, which statement does not describe the categories of “guests” we have consistently within our bodies?
Quiet Passenger- they take up space and keep more aggressive intruders in check
Guests that harm us but with whom we’ve learned to live-(acid on the teeth) they want to take up as much space as they can, and we don’t want them to. But, we can’t get rid of them entirely.
Friendly fellows that our bodies want to have around-most of them are a community of 380,000 billion bacteria, from up to 5,000 different species, that live in our gut.
- According to the video How Bacteria Rule over Your Body – The Microbiome, about how many species of gut bacteria do we contain? How are they beneficial?
380,000 billion bacteria, from up to 5,000 different species, These gut microorganisms help us digest food, and pull additional calories from things that we can’t digest ourselves.
- According to the video How Bacteria Rule over Your Body – The Microbiome, how has it been hypothesized our gut bacteria can communicate with our brains?
produce a messenger substances, that help to educate the immune system, and others stimulate the gut cells to regenerate faster.
- According to the video How Bacteria Rule over Your Body – The Microbiome, how can one decide what type of microbiome to grow within your gut (as you get older)?
But how it develops and changes is determined by what we eat.
- Bacteria can be used to complete bioremediation. What is bioremediation?
Bioremediation - the use of organisms to remove pollutants from water, air, and soil
- What are pseudomonads?
Pseudomonads - type of bacteria species used to breakdown oil based products or petroleum based
- How can bacteria be used as biofactories?
Commercial production of enzymes, vitamins, antibiotics, and acetone.
- What is a superbug?
The bacteria that is resistant to antibiotics.
- According to the video The Decreasing Effectiveness of Antibiotics, why are antibiotics the only class of drugs that the more we use, the more rapidly we lose their effectiveness against pathogenic bacteria?
the more you expose a bacteria to an antibiotic the greater the likelihood that the resistance to that antibiotic is going to develop so the more antibiotics we put into people we put into the environment the more opportunities we create create for these bacteria to become resistant
- According to the video How Industrial Farming Techniques Can Breed Superbugs, what type of farming technique is considered a fertile breeding ground for disease? Instead of fixing these systems, what do they add instead?
They are called concentrated animal feeding operations.
add low doses of antibiotics to try to prevent infection
- According to the video The Antibiotic Apocalypse Explained, how do antibiotic destroy bacteria?
interfering with its metabolism, slowing down their growth significantly
attack DNA and prevent it from being replicated, which stops bacteria from multiplying, ultimately killing them. ripping the outer layer of the bacteria to shreds, so that their insides spill out and they die quickly
- According to the video The Antibiotic Apocalypse Explained, by pure random chances, which statement describes a way some bacteria can become resistant to antibiotics?
by intercepting the antibiotics and changing the molecule so it becomes harmless. Or by investing energy in pumps that eject the antibiotics before they can do damage.
- According to the video The Antibiotic Apocalypse Explained, which statement describes a way bacteria spreads immunity?
bacteria can harvest dead bacteria and collect DNA pieces. exchange those plasmids to exchange useful abilities.
