2) coccobacili
3) staphylococci ( clusters)
4) streptococcui ( chains)
What is the importance of cell wall ?
1) a rigid , ductile structure
2) gives Bacteria their definitive shape
3) determine the characteristics of gram stain
4) antigen are present on the cell wall : virulence & immunity
5) peotidoglycann (murein)
What is peptidoglycan ?
1) complex carbohydrates
2) forms strong mesh surrounding the cell
3) unique to Bacteria
Who discover the gram stain ?
Hans Christian gram , separates most Bacteria into two groups. Gram positive ( violet - purple) Gram negative ( red - pink )
What procedure in gram staining ?
1) Crystal violet ( 30 s )—- water rinse
2) Gram iodine
3) wash ethanol or acetone

2) gram negative
What are the components?
1) Thick layer peptidoglycan
2) Teichoic acid
3) lipotechoic
Mention different states that arise from Bacteria and human interaction?
1) Health
2) Disease — any harmful alteration to physiological and metabolic state of the host
2) infection Disease — alteration caused by microorganisms or its products (toxins)
3) carrier— person who harbors the infection organism with no obvious disease
4) death
1) what are the characteristics of the normal flora
1) rapidly
2) during and shortly after brith
3) changes continuously throughout life
4) cells in the human body 10 13
5) Bacteria associated with them
Associated with areas exposed to external environment
