Bacterial Structure and Growth Flashcards
Main diff of euk and prok
Prokaryotes - no membrane bound organlles…70S ribosomes…binary fission…singular chromosome…no cytoskeleton and chemically ocmplex cell wall
Gram negative
LPS
Lipid A is portion of LPS that is main antigenic portion
Gram positive
Thick peptidoglycan layer with lipoteichoic acid and teichoic acid
Gram positive rod that is anaerobe
Clostridium
Gram positive rods
Listeria, bacillus, clostridium
Gram positive cocci catalase positive
Staph (clusters)
Gram positive cocci, catalase negative
Strep (chains)
Gram positive cocci, catalase positive, coagulase positive and negative
Positive - staph aureus
Negative - staph epidermidis
Gram positive cocci catalase negative hemolytic alpha/beta, gamma
Strep pneumoniae - alpha
Strep pyogenes, agalctiae - beta
Enterococcus - gamma
Gram positive cocci catalase negative hemolytic beta group A and B
Group A - strep pyogenes - bacitracin sensitive
Group B - strep agalctiae - bacitracin resistant
Gram negative cocci
N meningitidis and gonorrhoeae
Gram negative cocci maltose fermenter/non fermenter
Fermenter - meningitidis
Non - gonorrhoeae
Gram negative coccoid
Heomophilus infuenzae (needs factors 5 and 10) Bordetella pertussis
Gram negative rods lactose fermenters and non fermenters
Fermenters - klebsiella and E coli
Non - Shigella, salmonella, proteus, pseudomonoas
Gram negative rods non lactose fermenter oxidase negative and positive
negative - shigella, salmonella, proteus
Positive - pseudomonas
