No
Gram pos bacteria description
Thick layer of peptidoglycan teichoic acids
Gram POs bacteria function
Provides structural support, protection, and cell shape
Are gram POs bacteria pathogenic
No but some can cause disease
What is a treatment controls for gram POs bacteria
Penicillin
Is gram neg bacteria found in all bacteria
No only in gram neg
Gram neg description
Thin layer of peptidoglycan with outer membrane containing lipopolysaccharides
Gram neg cell wall function
LPS contributes to immune responses in host
Is gram neg bacteria pathogenic
Can be do to its presence of LPS; endotoxins
Treatment controls for gram neg bacteria
Polymyxins
Is prokaryotic cell wall acid fast bacteria found in all bacteria
No
prokaryotic cell wall acid fast description
Waxy layer of mycolic acids which makes it difficult to separate standard dyes
prokaryotic cell wall acid fast function
Some antibiotic resistance and protects from desiccation
Pathogenic cell wall acid fast
Some are , not all
prokaryotic cell wall acid fast treatment controls
Isoniazid, targets mycolic acid synthesis
Is Prokaryotic cell wall atypical found in all bacteria
No
Prokaryotes Prokaryotic cell wall atypical description
Lack of peptidoglycan layer and has sterols instead providing structural support
Is Prokaryotes Prokaryotic cell wall atypical pathogenic
No, can be
Prokaryotes Prokaryotic cell wall atypical treatment controls
Macrolides, antibiotics target ribosomes since bacteria lack a cell wall
Are Prokaryote capsules found in all bacteria
No, only in some gram POs and neg
Prokaryote capsules description
Forms a gelatinous outer layer, made of polysaccharides
Prokaryote capsules function
Protects bacteria from phagocytosis, helps attach to surfaces
Are Prokaryote capsules pathogenic
No but they can contribute to it
Prokaryote capsules treatment controls
Vaccines
Do all Prokaryote bacteria have a cell membrane
Yes
Prokaryote cell membrane description
Phospholipid bilayer, encloses cells, protects environments, regulates movement
Prokaryote cell membrane function
Processes like cell respiration and maintaining homeostasis
Are bacteria Prokaryote cell membrane pathogenic
No
Prokaryote cell membrane treatment controls
The treatment controls targets the cell membrane focusing on disrupting it structure which can lead to cell death
