intro microbio Flashcards
the study of causative agents of infectious disease of humans and their reactions to such infections.
medical microbiology
it deals with etiology, pathogenesis, laboratory diagnosis, specific treatment and control of infection
medical microbiology
causative agents of a member of infectious diseases, the science of bacteria
bacteriology
non-cellular living systems, capable of causing infectious diseases in man.
virology
concerned with mechanisms of body protection against pathogenic microorganisms and foreign cells and substances.
immunology
study of fungi and is pathogenic for man
mycology
deals with pathogenic unicellular animal organisms
protozoology
disease causing organisms
pathogens
ability of a microorganism to cause disease by overcoming the defenses of a host
pathogenicity
the degree of pathogenicity of a microorganism
virulence
invasion of the body by the pathogenic microorganisms
infection
result of an undesirable relationship between the host and the pathogen
disease
manifested by interruption in the normal functioning of a body
disease
relationship between the indigenous flora and the host
symbiosis
symbiosis in which one organism benefit from another without causing harm to it
commensalism
presence of organisms outside the body, on water, food and other biological substances
contamination
described live microorganisms that he observed in teeth scrapings, rain water and peppercorn infusions
anton van leeuwenhoek 1673-1723
FIRST TO SEE LIVING MICROORGANISM
anton van leeuwenhoek
who observed the life’s smallest structural units were little boxes or what he call cells
robert hooke
theory that states thatt all living things are made of cells
cell theory
who discovered cell theory
theodor schwann, matthias schleiden, robert hooke
some forms of life could spontaneously arise from non-living matter
spontaneous generation
opponent of spontaneous generation
francesco redi, john needham and lazzaro spallanzani
what is said to be responsible for the survival of microorganism
vital force in the air
who challenged the spontaneous generation
rudolf virchow
virchow’s concept
biogenesis
the word vacca of vaccine means
cow
who coined the word vaccine
louis pasteur
theory/concept that states that living cells can arise only from pre-existing living cells
biogenesis
father of modern microbiology
louis pasteur
discovered mycobacterium and vibrio cholera, formulated the bacteriological techniques and staining methods
robert koch
method to prevent spoilage of beverages and milk respectively that kills potentially harmful bacteria
fermentation and pasteurization
relationship between microorganisms to humans as well with plants and animals in terms of causing a disease
the germ theory of disease
direct relationship of a specific microbe to a specific disease
koch’s postulate
established the direct relationship of a specific microbe to a specific disease
Robert Koch
who showed a silkworm disease was caused by a fungus
Agostino Bassi
who advocated handwashing to prevent transmission of puerperal fever from one OB patient to another
Ignaz Semmelweis
who believed that another silkworm disease was caused by a protozoan
pasteur
founder of the germ theory of disease
Joseph Lister
a theory where the founder used a chemical disinfectatnt to prevent surgical wound infections after looking at pasteur’s work showing microbes are in the air, can spoil food and cause animal diseases
the germ theory of disease
the word vacca of vaccine means
cow
who jumped on an experiment to discover a way to protect people from small pox
edward jenner
it is used as a treatment or prevention to a certain disease
vaccination
the treatment of disease using chemical substances
chemotheraphy
referredd to as chemical treatment of non-infectious diseases such as cancer
chemotherapy
who discovered the first antibiotic
Alexander Flemingf
Penicillin is made by
penicillium fungus
penicillin killed ___
s. aureus
an antibiotic that was tested clinically and mass produced
penicillin
an antibiotic made of mold
penicillium notatum
disease causing organisms
pathogens
study of parasitic worms and protozoa
parasitology
what is simple, single-celled organisms whose genetic material is not enclosed in a special nuclear membrane.
bacteria
bacterial cell shapes
Their cells generally appear in several shapes; rod-like, spherical or ovoid and spiral are among the most common shapes.
what is like bacteria, and found in extreme environments.
archaea
can be unicellular or multicellular with a distinct nucleus
containing genetic material DNA.
fungi
unicellular organism which uses pseudopods, flagella or cilia as their mode of locomotion
protozoa
unicellular organism with wide variety of shapes and have both sexual and asexual reproductive forms
algae
so small that cannot be seen by a simple
compound microscope but with the aid of an electron microscope. They
are a cellular and contains only one type of nucleic acid.
viruses
they are not strictly microorganisms, but they are of medical important
parasites
