Q

What do gram - cell walls have?

A

-Thin layer of peptidoglycan with two cell wall membranes

26
Q

What type of bacteria has no cell wall?

A

-Mycoplasm

27
Q

What types of bacteria are acid-fast bacteria?

A
  • Mycobacteria

- Nocardia

28
Q

What are three functions of the bacterial cell wall?

A
  • cell shape
  • control influx and efflux of material
  • protect against osmotic lysis
29
Q

What does lysozyme and many antibiotics target in bacteria?

A

-Cell wall

30
Q

How are bacteria recognized by the innate and adaptive immune systems?

A

-ligands on the cell wall

31
Q

What is embedded in the peptidoglycan layers in a gram + cell membrane?

A
  • Teichoic acid

- lipoteichoic acid

32
Q

T/F

Lipoteichoic acids are unique to gram + bacteria

A

True

33
Q

If peptidoglycan is bound but what two things can it stimulate an inflammatory response?

A
  • PRR (Pattern Recognition Receptor)

- (TLR2) Toll like receptor 2

34
Q

What are peptidoglycan structures cleaved by?

A

-Lysozyme

35
Q

What anchors the peptidoglycan layer of gram - bacteria to the outer membrane?

A

-Lipoprotein

36
Q

What is the outside side of the outer membrane of gram - bacteria made of?

A

-LPS

37
Q

Why is the Lipid A portion of LPS important?

A

-It is bound by a PRR (TLR4) and stimulates an inflammatory response

38
Q

What do ureaplasma and mycoplasma require to stabilize its cell membrane?

A

-Sterols

39
Q

If you treated the mycoplasma bacteria with something that targets the peptidoglycan layer what would happen?

A

-The mycoplasma would be resistance

40
Q

Where do you find the electron transport chains in bacteria?

A

-Cell wall

41
Q

What is a phototroph?

A

-Use light to generate energy

42
Q

What is an autotroph?

A

-Use chemicals to generate energy

43
Q

What is a hetertroph?

A

-Use organ (carbon) sources

Q

Most medically important bacteria are what?

A

-Chemoheterotrophs

45
Q

What are gram - obligate aerobes?

A
  • Neisseria
  • Pseudomonas
  • Bordetella
  • Legionella
  • Brucella
46
Q

Microaerophilic does not have any electron transport systems but they do have what that allows them to tolerate some oxygen?

A

-Superoxide Dismutase

47
Q

What is a gram + microaerophilic bacteria?

A
  • Type III
  • Type IV
  • Type VI
  • Type VII
50
Q

What promotes bacteria dissemination within host environments and facilitates chemotaxis towards or away from specific stimuli?

A

-Bacterial Flagella

51
Q

What makes bacterial flagella highly antigenic?

A

-H antigen

52
Q

What is peritrichous flagella?

A

-Flagella located evenly around the bacterium

53
Q

What is monotrichous flagella?

A

-One flagella at the end of the bacterium

54
Q

What is lophotrichous flagella?

A

-Multiple flagella at one end of the bacterium

55
Q

What is amphitrichous flagella?

A

-One flagella at each end of the bacterium

56
Q

T/F

Flagella can be present with the periplasmic space

A

True
