FSII Flashcards

1
Q

Essentially, to bring something big in, secrete enzymes to break it up OUTSIDE then bring the components back in. In gram positive, they go directly out of cyto mem, in gram -, they must traverse outer membrane too

A

Excretion of hydrolytic exoenzymes and pathogenic proteins

Q

PAI

A

genes that can insert into host DNA. often in tRNA genes and can be transfered to new bac, thus conferring virulence to benign strains
- commensal don’t have PAI but can get it from horizontal gene transfer
- move using transformation

Q

how do cells resist b lactams and glycopeptides, tetracyclins

A

hydrolysis, efflux and altered target using genes. make b lactamases. resistance genes are AmpC, blaZ
- can be avoided by b lactamase inhibitors like augmentin
- - failure to make peptidoglycans like in mycoplasma

glycopeptides are altered target

tetracyclines avoided by efflux, ribosomal protection proteins, and altered target.
- tet gene protects the ribosome

gram -

A

outer membrane
thin peptido
lipopolysaccarides
counterstain pink
- involved in periodontitis

cell wall
- highly resistant to antibiotics due to outer membrane slow diffusion
- LPS contains lipid A (glycolipid that is endotoxin) with o antigen that is highly variable among species
- lipoprotein links outer membrane to peptido and is very abundant
- periplasmic space has binding proteins (specific) and hydrolytic enzymes, detox enzymes that inactivate antibiotics, and membrane derived oligosacc (MDO)

LPS structure
- O antigen: repeating sugar units specific to bacterial serotype
- core: outer has hexoses, inner has 1-4 kdos and up to 15 residues, phosphate - charge
- core connected to lipid via acid labile linkage (hydrophilic so can detach easy!)
- Lipid A: hydrophobic, with phosphate group and glucosamine disac attached via b1-6 linkage. two acyl chains where the second is esterified

Q

virus features

A
  • DNA/RNA capsid.
  • lipid envelope.
  • glycoprotein spikes
  • capsomere
