Bacteria Flashcards
Area where antibiotics can kill bacteria
Zone of inhibition
Adhere to surfaces
Pili
Protect cell adherence outer layer
Capsule
Rigid and hold shape of cells, middle
Cell wall
Regulates materials that enter and exit cell, inner
Plasma membrane
Enable movement
Flagella
Communication of genetic info between bacteria small circular piece of DNA
Plasmid
Protein synthesis
Ribosome
Regulatory center that contains DNA
Nucleoid
Antibiotic resistance method that involves the change of the shape of a Target protein
Mutation
Method of antibiotic resistance that removes antibiotics by using a membrane pump
Efflux
Has an outer membrane and a thin peptidoglycan layer
Graham negative membrane
Has no outer membrane and a thick peptidoglycan layer
Gram-positive
Interrupts so well formation by preventing cross-linking in peptidoglycan layer formation
B-lactams/penicillin
Disrupts protein synthesis by blocking TRNA binding site
Tetracycles
