first colloq Flashcards
Microbiology is divided into:
Bacteriology
Parasitology (protozoa, metazoan)
Mycology
Virology
Classification:
dividing the organisms into taxa on tha Basis of certain characteristics
is part of systematics
Systematics:
grouping of the organisms on the Basis of certain characteristics
Five kingdoms
Animalia Plantae Fungi Protista (protozoa) Monera (prokaryotes)
3 domains
Archaea (pro)
Bacteria (pro)
Eukarya
Taxonomy of bacteria
Domain Kingdom Phylum Class Order Family Genus Species
Strain vs Clone
Strain: genetic variant or subtype of certein microorganism
Clone: genetic copy of a cell procuded asexually
Classification of viruses
DNA
- double stranded (enveloped and unenveloped)
- single stranded (unenveloped)
RNA
- +RNA (unenveloped and unenveloped)
- -RNA (enveloped)
- +/- RNA (double capsid)
- RNA via DNA (enveloped)
Classification of fungi
- zygomycotica (produce zygotes)
- dikaryomykotica (Extended dikaryotic Phase
- -> Basidiomycotina: in sac called basidium –> basidiospores
- -> Ascomycotina: in sac calles Ascus –> ascospores
- Deuteromycotina (fungi imperfecti)
Classification of protozoa

- Metamonada (flagella)
- Parabasala (flagella)
- Percolozoa (flagella)
- Euglenozoa (flagella)
- Amoebozoa (move like amebea)
- Sporozoa (non-motila)
- Ciliopphora (have cilia)
Morphology of cocci
2 --> diplococci more in a row --> streptococci 4 --> tetrad 8 --> sarcinae a lot in one place --> staphylococci
Classification of rods
according to :
- length (Long, short, very short(coccobacilli))
- Ends (rounded, sharp, rectangle, ovoid, club)
- Diameter (thin, thick)
Morphology of spiral bacteria
vibrio
Spirillum
spirochete
Spirochetes pathogenic for humans
Treponemes
Borrelliae
Letropires
Classification of viruses
rod shaped
complex shaped
filamentous
Classification of fungi
Yeast
pseudohyphae
Hyphae
Eukaryote vs Prokaryotes
