MODULE 1 PART 2 Flashcards
Nutritional req: light as energy source
Phototrophic
Nutritional req: chemical compounds as energy source, most bacteria are this
Chemotrophic
This uses inorganic compounds as carbon source for growth
Autotrophic/ Lithotroph
This uses organic compounds as carbon source for growth
Heterotrophic/Organotroph
Example of organic compounds that bacteria uses as carbon source
Glucose
This requires oxygen for growth
Obligate aerobe
How many percent of oxygen needed in Obligate Aerobe?
21%
What are the organisms included in Obligate Aerobe? (MPBBm)
Mycobacterium, Pseudomonas, Bacillus, Brucella micrococcus
Cannot grow in the presence of O2, they die in the presence of oxygen
Obligate Anaerobe
Example of organisms in Obligate Anaerobe (B and C)
Bacteriodes and Clostridium
This is used to ensure anaerobiosis in the laboratory
Gaspak jar
Can live with the presence or absence of oxygen O2
Facultative Anaerobe
Most bacteria are this kind of oxygen requirement
Facultative Anaerobe
Example of organisms under Facultative Anaerobe
Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, E. coli, Salmonella
This can grow in the presence of O2 but it grows best in an anaerobic environment
Aerotolerant
Example of organism in Aerotolerant
Lactobacillusb
This can grow in reduced level of O2, requires small amount of oxygen/air
Microaerophilic
What is the requirement for microaerophilic?
- 5 to 10% O2
- 10% CO2
- 85% N
What is the requirement for obligate anaerobe?
- 0% O2
- 5% CO2
- 10% H
- 85% N
Most bacteria grow well at 7.0-7.5 ; most bacteria are this
Neutrophile
Grows at an acidic pH
Acidophile
Organism that survives in the pH = 3.0
Lactobacillus
Organism that survives in the pH = 10.5
Vibrio cholerae
0-20° C; cold-loving
Psychrophilic
Temperature of Mesophilic
Moderate ; 20-45° C
50-125° C; Heat-loving
Thermophilic
The bacteria is not growing well in the presence of high temperature, the growth is not okay
Thermoduric
Incubation at 4° C for several weeks
Cold enrichment
2 organisms that can tolerate Cold Enrichment
- Listeria monocytogenes
2. Yersinia enterocolitica
These are organisms with short optimum temperature range
Stenothemophilic
These are organisms with wide temperature range
Eurithermophilic
This is the temperature at which an organism grows best and every organism has its own
Optimum temperature
Motility is best detected at ____
Room temp
This requires concentrations of 5% to 10% CO2 for optimal growth, this needs high CO2
Capnophilic
Example of capnophilic organisms
Streptococcus and Neisseria
This is used to supply with increased CO2 and this is for capnophiles
Candle Jar
Gaspak jar uses _________ to prevent O2
Palladium catalyst
3 Indicators used in Gaspak Jar
- Colorless in the absence of O2
- Methylene blue (becomes blue when there’s O2)
- Resazurin (becomes pink when there’s O2)
This requires high salt concentration or increase in salt
Halophilic
Species that are known to be microaerophilic and capnophilic
Campylobacter spp.
7.5% salt is tolerated by
Staphylococcus aureus
6.5% salt is tolerated by
Enterococci
8-10% salt is tolerated by
Vibrio
This is the phase where there is an increase in size but the growth rate still remains at 0%
Lag phase/ Adjustment phase
This is the phase where the cell division starts thus growth rate increases, rapid exponential growth, and where bacteria become susceptible to antibiotics
Log phase
This is the phase where the nutrients are used up, toxic product accumulate, sporulation begins and the dead cells is equal to the living cells
Stationary phase/ Plateau
This is known to be the bacterial death of cells where complete stoppage of bacterial growth or cessation happens, where there is development of unfavorable pH
Death phase/ Stage of decline
What are the two causes of bacterial death?
- Development of unfavorable pH
- Accumulation of toxic waste
What are the factors under manual identification? (SSAMSC)
Size, Shape, Arrangement, Motility, Staining characteristics, Cultural characteristics
What are the three ways of identifying bacteria? (MSA)
Manual, Semi-automated through API, Automated thru VITEK, Maldi Tof
API stands for
Analytical Profile Index
This method is not usually utilized nowadays. Half is done by med tech, half is done by machine
Semi-automated thru API
This method is prone to error, solely done by med tech
Manual
This is an automation program for bacterial identification and susceptibility
VITEK
These are the 2 commonly used types of staining
Gram staining, Acid Fast staining
This is part of the manual identification where the use of selective media and biochemical tests are utilized
Cultural characteristics
