RANDOM 6 Flashcards
Bacteria reproduce by
BINARY FISSION
Bacteria that exist in a variety of shapes are described as being
PLEOMORPHIC
The ability to exist in a variety of shapes is known as
PLEOMORPHISM
The two most common methods of fixation are
HEAT AND METHANOL
Is sufficient to determine bacterial shape and morphologic arrangement
SIMPLE STAIN
The procedures used to observe bacterial capsules spores and flagella are collectively referred to as
STRUCTURAL STAINING PROCEDURES
The gram and acid fast staining procedures are referred to as
DIFFERENTIAL STAINING PROCEDURE
Most important staining procedure in the bacteriology laboratory
GRAM STAIN
If the bacteria we’re not the decolorized during the decolorization is step, they will be blue to purple at the conclusion of the gram staining
GRAM POSITIVE BACTERIA
The crystal violet was removed from the cells during the decolorization step, the cells were subsequently stained by safranin
GRAM NEGATIVE BACTERIA A
Pink to red
Mycobacterium species are more often identified causing a stain procedure called the
ACID FAST STAIN
The acid-fast stain procedure was developed in 1882 by
PAUL EHRLICH
Structural staining procedures
CAPSULE STAIN
FLAGELLA
ENDOSPORE
Bacteria never possesses
CILIA
The cause of q fever is transmitted primarily by aerosoles but can be transmitted to animals by ticks
COXIELLA BURNETII
