MICRO EXAM #3 Flashcards
what is fast reproducing
S. pneumonia
what happens to cilia in S. pneumonia
paralyzed then mucus travel down and carry bacteria
S. pneumonia starts up after
flu (secondary infection)`
what did Beijerinick say the causative agent for TMD
contagious living fluid
who renamed nuclien to nucleotide
levene
who found incorrect theory of tetranuteotide
levene
chargoff did what
proved Levene wrong
what lead to virology
Mayer and beirjerinick work
founder of biology
beijernick
what did Mayer think was causing TMD
toxin or bacteria
who discovered double helix structure
Watson and crick
cause of dysentary
shigella dysenteria
what can make shiga toxin
shigella dysenteria
who works with dysentary patients
Felix d’herrelle
what does Felix d’herrelle want to study
why some patients recover from dysentary and some dont
what study did bacteriophage come into play
study of dysentary
bacteriophage
a virus that parasites a bacterium by infecting it and reproducing inside it.
what can bacteriophage play a critical role in
human disease
plaque
holes that form on petri-plate covered with bacteria, over time, the holes will grow larger until bacteria is destroyed.
bacteriophage theory
therapeutic use of lytic bacteriophage to treat pathogenic infections
pyro (bacteriophage theory)
throat
Staphy ((bacteriophage theory)
drink
rhino ((bacteriophage theory)
nasal spray
bacteriophage theory vs antibiotic theory
bacteria can develop resistance to phages, phages will evolve too. easier to develop new bacteriophages than antibiotics
characteristics of viruses
- nucleic acid (DNA, RNA) 2. protein coat 3. all virus inject nucleic acid into host cells 4. host cells are taken over to make new viruses
head of virus
capsid, nuclei (dna, rna)
