Pilli and Fimbrae have proteins called ___________ with subunits called adhesins on their tips.

When the pili contract, what is the name of the movement?

Only found in what kind of bacteria?

A

pillin, extensions of the cell envelope

twitching motility

Gram negative

49
Q

Spores have two distinct chemicals on their cell walls?

A

peptidoglycan and dipicolinate

50
Q

What type of bacteria require oxygen and are catalase positive?

A

Obligate aerobes

51
Q

What bacteria are catalse negative and cannot tolerate oxygen?

A

Obliage anaerobes

52
Q

What bacteria are catalase positive, can grow anaerobically but prefer an oxygen environment?

A

Faculative anaerobes

53
Q

What bacteria tolerate but do not use oxygen, catalase positive?

A

Aerotolerant aerobes

54
Q

What bacteria use small amounts of oxygen, and produce small amounts of catalse?

A

Microaerophiles

55
Q

Capsules are made by what?

Biofilms are made by what?

A

Capsules are made by individual bacteria

Biofilms are made by dense populations of bacteria

56
Q

A flagellum will spin what direction make the flagellum tumble, move randomly?

A

Counterclockwise

Clockwise

57
Q

What is the rate limiting step for bacterial division?

A

Peptidoglycan/ mycolic acid -> cell wall synthesis

58
Q

Staph and Strept only apply to what shape of bacteria?

Strept is latin for what?

Staph is latin for what?

A

Cocci

Strept = beads of a necklace

Staph = clump of grapes

59
Q

What is a contraindication for Metronidazole?

A

taken with alcohol, flushing, nausea, high pulse

60
Q

Metronidazole is a medication that can be used against which bacteria? Which cannot be used against?

A

Obligate anaerobes ok

Not ok with against aerobes/faculative anaerobes

61
Q

What spores have what special chemical and come from what brand of bacteria?

A

Dipicolinate

Gram +

62
Q

A spore forming bacteria is staining pink? Why is that happening?

A

Spore forming bacteria are only suppose to gram positive, however, the spores steal the peptidoglycan from the host bacteria in order to make their cell envelope

The lack of peptidoglycan with a gram stain yields a pink stain

63
Q

Psychrophiles, Mesophiles, Thermophiles, and extreme thermophiles were the described bacteria for temperature ranges. Which one will most likely affect humans?

A

Mesophiles

64
Q

Metronidazole is ineffective against what species of bacteria?

Effective against what kind?

A

Aerobes/facultative anaerobes

Effective against Obligate anaerobe, regardless of gram stain or bacteria/anything else

65
Q

Azthyromycin binds to what?

Tetracycline binds to what?

A

Large ribosomal subunit (50S)

Small Subunit (30S)

66
Q

Staph and Strept only apply to what shape of bacteria?

67
Q

What gene is needed to pinch off bacteria replication? If not present what will happen?

A

FTSZ

The gene will just get longer

68
Q

Tetracycline binds to the 30S subunit of RNA Polymerase Transcription, what action is the antibiotic preventing?

A

The start codon is blocked, stopping the initiation phase of translation

69
Q

Macrolides bind the 50s subunit of RNA Polymerase III, what part of translation do macrolides prevent?

A

elongation phase of translation

70
