MICROBIOLOGY 2 Flashcards
chemical substances that produced by
microorganisms and suppress the growth of other
microorganisms
Antibiotics
Natural penicillin
PENZYLE PENICILLIN , PENICIILLIN G
penicillinase resistant penicillins
Oxacillin
Methacillin Cloxacillin
Nafcillin Dicloxacillin
Flucloxacillin
Narrow spectrum (Mainly against G+ve bacteria
Extended spectrum penicillin
Ampicillin
Amoxycillin
* Broad spectrum (In addition to G+ve also active against G-ve
common enteric bacteria
Anti-pseudomonas penicillins
Carbenicillin ,Azlocillin
Ticarcillin ,Mezlocillin
Pepracillin
(Less activity against G-ve, more active against pseudomona
: is the sum of genetic material of cell
* Chromosome
* Non chromosomal (plasmid
genome
GENE
A segment of DNA or a segment of nucleotides in
DNA that code for a functional product
Smallest viruses
4to 5 genes
LENGTH OF DNA IN E.COLI
1mm
super coiling generated by the activity of?
Toboisomerase enz
separation of tow strands by?
HELICASE ENZ
MIS MATCH REPAIR
wrong base been incorporated in the new strand it may
lead to mutation
Activated by the formation of
pyrimidine dimers by UV
irradiation
EXCISION REPAIR
occurs when cells are
overwhelmed by DNA damages
SOS REPAIR
PROMOTORES
signals to start
the transcription, it hold the
information as to which strand
to be transcribed
