What is the antigen of LPS?
O
What is the antigen of capsule?
K
What does fragment A of protein synthesis exotoxin do?
Stops elongation factor of proteins
What does fragment B of protein synthesis exotoxin do?
Binds receptor for intracellular delivery
What type of parent organism has endotoxins?
Gram negative only
What type of parent organism has exotoxins?
Gram negative or gram positive
What does a superantigen do?
Causes large release of T cells and inflammation
What did the type III secretion system evolve from?
Flagella
What did the type IV secretion system evolve from?
Sex pili
What is the cell wall made out of?
Peptidoglycan
What acid does acid fast bacteria have?
Mycolic acid
What are routes of antibiotic action?
Inhibit nucleic acid production
Inhibit cell wall synthesis
Inhibit protein synthesis
Inhibit metabolite production
Agents which increase mutation rate
Mutagens
What are the 3 forms of gene transfer?
Transformation
Conjugation
Transduction
Part of donor bacteria gives recipient bacteria a portion of DNA which is integrated into the genome
Transformation
Plasmid transferred to recipient cell that is capable of autonomous replication
Conjugation
Transfer of DNA through a bacterial virus
Transduction
Inactivated phage genome which replicates synchronously with the host genome through repression
Lysogenic cycle
Bacteria that requires less oxygen
Microaerophilic
Bacteria that thrives in presence of CO2
Capnophilic
Utilize carbohydrates as carbon and energy source by fermentation or oxidative catabolism
Saccharolyitc
Utilize amino acids, organic acids, and alcohols because bacteria cannot use carbohydrates
Asaccharolytic
Usually found in upper airway, blood, and skin
Aerobes
Usually found sin deep wounds, intestine, and rumen
Anaerobes
Do anaerobes cause a lot of tissue degradation?
Do anaerobes cause a lot of inflammation?
Yes
NO!
Anaerobic bacteria producing a lot of ATP through a process that uses substrates other than oxygen as a terminal electron acceptor
Anaerobic respiration
Non selective media
Blood agar media
Selective Media
MacConkey agar
Mannitol salt
Contains bile salt, most enteric bacteria grow
MacConkey agar
High salt, Staphylococci grow
Mannitol salt
What type of bacteria are acid-fast?
Mycobacterium
Mycolic acid
How is E. Coli and Salmonella differentiated?
Lactose utilization
How is streptococcus and staphylococcus differentiated?
Catalase reactions
Gram negative or positive to differentiate in catalase test?
Gram positive
Gram negative or positive to differentiate in oxidase test?
Gram negative
How is enterobacteriaceae and pasterellaceae differentiated?
Oxidase test
Unconventional method of bacterial diagnosis`
Bacterial DNA sequence analysis
Diagnostic tests for rickettsia and chlamydia
PCR, cell culture, cytology, serology
Limited multiplication in vivo thereby inducing immune response similar to natural infection. Genetically stable. Single dose of vaccine can induce lifelong immunity
Live attenuated vaccine
Bacteria are inactivated by using physical and/or chemical agents, maintaining its structure
Bacterins
Bacterins
Whole killed vaccine
Give an example of a whole killed vaccine (bacterin)
C chauvoei
Inactivated bacterial exotoxins
Toxoids
Give an example of a toxoid vaccine
C. tetani
