Bacteriology - Intro and Generalities by Kurt Asperas Flashcards
All bacteria have a cell wall composed of peptidoglycan EXCEPT
Mycoplasma
Endotoxin/LPS is consisted of (2)
Lipid A and Antigen O
all gram positive bacteria have NO endotoxin EXCEPT
Listeria monocytogenes
bacteria not seen in gram stain (These Rascals May Microscopically Lack Color)
Treponema, Rickettsia, Mycoplasma, Mycobacterium, Legionella, Chlamydia
Obligate Aerobes (NOsy and Nagging Pests Must Breathe Lots of oxygen)
Nocardia, Neisseria, Pseudomonas, Mycobacteria, Bordetella/Brucella/Bacillus cereus, Legionella
Obligate Anaerobes (ABC of Anaerobes)
Actinomyces, Bacteroides, Clostridium
Bacteria with IgA protease (SHiNe My Gong)
Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, Neisseria Meningitidis; Neisseria gonorrhea
all exotoxins are heat-labile EXCEPT
Staphylococcal enterotoxin
all bacterial capsules are composed of polsaccharide EXCEPT
Bacillus anthracis
Facultative Intracellular Bacteria
(Some Bugs May Live FacultativeLY) - Salmonella, Brucella, Myobacterium, Listeria, Franciscella, Legionella, Yersinia
Urease positive Bacteria
(Particular Kinds Have Urease) - Proteus mirabilis, Klebsiela, Helicobacter, Ureaplasma
Obligate intracellular Bacteria
Ricketssia and Chlamydia (Go inside, it’s “R”eally “C”old!)
