Introduction Flashcards
Study of MO that cannot be seen by the naked eye
Microbiology
– Father of Microbiology – simple microscope – First sample: own feces; sperm – "Animalcules" – Giardia lamblia
Anton Van Leeuwenhoek
DOC for:
• Trichomoniasis
• Amebiasis
• Giardiasis
Metronidazole
– organized MO into genus & species
Otto Muller
– Father of Taxonomy
Carolus Linnaeus
– Father of Cytology
– “cell”
– Microphagia
Robert Hooke
– Spontaneous Generation Theory aka Theory of ABIOGENESIS
– nonliving matter can give rise to living
– rotten meat — (+) growth of maggots
John Needham
– small invertebrates can give rise to living organisms
Aristotle
– Father of Parasitology
– Theory of BIOGENESIS
– first opponent of the Theory of Abiogenesis — experiment
Francesco Redi
– sealed flasks with boiling water can prevent the growth of MON
Lazarro Spallanzani
– Spontaneous Generation
– Pasteurization
– Swan Neck flask experiment
Louis Pasteur
Home Pasteurization
63C for 30 mins
High Temp Short Time
72C for 15 secs
Ultra High Temp
140C for 4 secs — sterilized
- Tyndallization — intermittent sterilization
John Tyndall
– Phenol
– Standard of all disinfectant
— Phenol coefficient (S. typhi)
Joseph Lister
– Germ Theory of Disease
— MO can cause disease
Friedrich Henle
– Bacillus anthracis
– Koch’s Postulates
Robert Koch
DOC for Anthrax
Ciprofloxacin
Koch’s Postulates
- Causative agent - ✖️ healthy
- Pure culture media
- Disease/ healthy host
- Same Causative agent/ disease host
– Vaccine for small pox
— last case: 1978
Edward Jenner
– first cultured viruses in an artificial media
John Enders
– Father of Chemotherapy
– Salvarsan
— tx: Syphilis
— DOC: Pen G
Paul Ehrlich
– discovered Penicillin — Penicillin nonatum
Alexander Fleming
– isolated Penicilin
- Howard Florey
* Ernst Boris Chain
– discovered Sulfonamide
Gerhard Domagk
– discovered Streptomycin
Selman Waksman
Prokaryotes
— NO true nucleus
— relatively small
— ABSENCE of nuclear membrane
- Bacteria
* Archaea
✖️ mitochondria
✖️ golgi apparatus
✖️ ER
✖️ nuclear membrane
Bacteria
✔️ ribosomes ✔️ nucleus – Cell wall: Peptidoglycan aka MUREIN – Asexual: Binary fission – Pathogenic: can cause disease
Bacteria
– ✖️ cell wall
– nonpathogenic
– live in extreme environments
Archaea
Examples of Archaea
- Methanogens
- Extreme Halophiles
- Extreme Thermophiles
- Basophiles
⬆️ conc. of Methane
Methanogens
⬆️ conc. of salt (Dead Sea)
Extreme Halophiles
⬆️ Temp. — > 85C (Volcanoes, Hot spring)
Extreme thermophiles
⬆️ pressure
Barophiles
Eukaryotes
— TRUE nucleus
- Fungi
- Algae/ Plants
- Parasites/ Animals
– CW: chitin
– multicellular — molds EXCEPT yeasts
– saprophytes/ saprophytic
Fungi
– CW: Cellulose
– photosynthetic
– 1’ CHO storage: starch (Human: glycogen)
Algae/ Plants
– multicellular — helminths, ectoparasites, insects, arachnids
– single celled — protozoans
Parasites/ Animals
Prokaryotic Cell
- Cellular Membrane
- Cytoplasm
- Gas vacuole
- Cytoplasmic Inclusion Bodies
– Fluid mosaic model – phospholipid bilayer – encloses the cytoplasm bacteria: outer membrane G (-)
Cellular membrane
– fluid matrix of prokaryotic cell
– contains DNA/ RNA material and inclusion bodies, ribosomes
Cytoplasm
– for floating, bouyancy
– Cyanobacteria
Gas vacuole
Cytoplasmic Inclusion bodies (1/2)
- Nucleus
- Ribosomes
- Endospores
- Plasmids
- Periplasmic space
Cytoplasmic Inclusion Bodies (2/2)
- Teichoic acid
- Cell wall
- Glucocalyx
- Cell Appendages
– DNA + RNA material
– genetic material
Nucleus
– 70s
- 30s: TrentA
- 50s: LCM
– site of protein synthesis
Ribosomes
– dormant/ resting stage
– resistant to heat, dessication
– sense — depletion of nutrients
Endospores
2 Genus
- Bacillus — aerobic
* Clostridium — anaerobic
Stain (Spore former): Malachite Green
- Bacillus — non swollen spore
* Clostridium — swollen spore
Color Reaction
- VR — green spore former
* (-) result — red nonspore former
– extrachromosomal DNA material
- ex: R plasmid — resistance plasmid
Plasmids
