Term 3 Week One Test One Flashcards
Anton van Leeuwenhoek
Looked at a again drop trough these lenses thus saw microorganisms for the first time. He scarped his teeth and viewed the scrapings from the ground lenses. Finding a great number of organisms and called these ANIMALCULES
Pathogens
Disease producing microorganisms
Louis pasteur
Proved that bacteria cause disease. Paster found that bacteria along with resistant spores can be destroyed by HEAT
Louis plasters work
Has been the foundation for many of the vaccines now produced and has helped lead to the eradication of polio and typhus as health threats.
The father of microbiology
Anton van Leeuwenhoek
Richard Julius petri
Devised a cylinder shallow dish called the PETRI DISH which is still being used in microbiology labs today.
Two groups of microorganisms important ant to dentistry
Bacteria and viruses
Often bacteria cells are stained to further identify groups. Dr. Christian gram developed a stain procedure. It is called .
Gram stain
The gram stain is to…
To differentiate cells into two specific groups.
To aid viewing the gram stain cells…
Special dies are used. And then the cells are placed on a slide dried and then stained with alkaline solution of violate dye
If the cell walls keep the color they are classified as…
Gram positive
If the cell walls lose color during the procedure …
They area gram negative
Bacteria
Tiny simple cell organisms that contain no chlorophyll .
2000 bacteria lying side beside are about the size of

Bacteria morphology
The shape of bacteria.
Under a microscope bacilli
Are rode shaped
Cocci
Round or bead shaped
Spirilla
S shaped
Vibrios
Curved like comma
Bacteria grow in
Colonies
Bacteria growing in pairs
Diplo (diploccoci)
Bacteria grown in clusters
Staphylococci
Streptococci
Chains of bacteria
Tuberculosis
The disease is spread to other by airborne particles coughing saliva , cross contamination ,dental treatment
Pertussis
Des ease of the respiratory system and mainly effects infants and young children.
Tetanus
Is caused by spores of clostridiumtitani.
Most common sign of tetanus
Stiffness of jaw,commonly called lock jaw
Streptococcus mutans
Has been implicated in dental caries
The same group of bacteria known as streptococcus mutans give rise to
Pheunonia or rheumatic fever
