Heterocyst

A gas filled chamber that allows a bacteria to float

Oscillatoria

Nitrogen fixation. Prokaryotic. Type of Cyanobacteria

Cyanobacteria cont

Convert n2 to nh4

Psudomona aureguarium cont

Convert nh4 to n2 which is the opposite of what plants want

Chalmidia trochomatis

Cuases trachoma eye infection which is the most common form of blindness in the world . It is tran,titled by flys, using contaminated linens towels, fingers. The eye infection cuases inversion of the eyelid which cuases the eye lashes to scratch the cornea

Chlamidia

Std can cuase pelvic inflammatory disease

Niesseria gonneria

Also acisuates with pelvic inflammatory disease scar tissue can block Fallopian tubes and then cuase an ectopic pregnancy

Spirochetes (phylum)

Every member of this phylum has an axial filament

triponema pallasium


cuases Syphalis

Spiral shaped bacteria can be treated with antibiotics 3 stages


1st stage hard lesion with mild fever and loss of patches of hair


Secondary stage- rashes on surface of the body usually on palms of the hand


3rd stage is dormant or latent stage and can stay there for 2-4 years


Tertiary stage- depression loss of motor control loss of control of bowl movement. Formation of gommas

Gommas

Leathery lesions which can happen on skin and bone and mucus membrain and apear 15 years after infection they can interfere with speech

Bordelaise burdorferi

Transported by tics also a spirochete. Cuases lime disease. Initially flu like symptoms. Can cuase cardiac arythmia and facial paralysis. Characterized by Bulls eye rash from a specific type of tic byte

Fusobacteria (phylum)

Pointed end bacilli morphology. They are responsible for periodontal disease.

Firmicutes (phylum)

A lot of human pathogens in this phylum



Steptococcus genus

Named for the the arrangement


This genus is responsible for a lot of illness due to the amount of enzymes the bacteria genus has

fusobacteria



Normal micro iota in mouth but can cuase cavities and plaque formation by breaking down sucrose and then acid is produced which breaks down teeth

Strep pneumoniae

If it has a capsule it cuases pneumonia

Strep pyogenes

Responsible for a lot of diseases. It is responsible for strep throat. Also known as pharyngitis . If left untreated can lead to rhumtic fever. Then your immune system can attack your joints and your heart valves.




Also cuases scarlet fever characterized by a large strawberry like younger with the surface peeling.




also cuases impetigo. By breaking down fibrin


Also can cuase a type of pinkeye


Also responsible for necrotizing faciitis. The break down of fibrin (flesh eating virus)

Streptokinase

An enzyme that is made by strep pyogenes that breaks down blood clots

Beta hemolysin

Strep pygones makes an enzyme that breaks down red blood cells completely . Or beta hemolysis the complete brak down of rbc

Alpha hemolitic

Partially breaks down rbc. Which leaves behind methemoglobin behind

Gammahemolitic

No hemolysis. They grow on rbc but no breakdown

Clostridium genera

Makes endo spores found in soil and part of firmicutes. Obligate anarobic

Clostridium tetani

the spasm of muscles, respitory. It produces a nerotoxin that cuases tetanus found in soil. Deep puncture wounds with soil is potentially the cuase. Also if the blood supply is interrupted they like it because they are obligate anarobe


They produce endo spores

C botulinum

Responsible for botulism. Also anaerobic organism produces a neurotoxin with the following symptoms prevention of acetal choline release, which can effect cardiac and respitory function

C perferingens

Responsible for gangrene. Diabetics are susceptible due to poor circulation. Low circulation is good for this bacteria because they are anarobic

Hyperbaric chamber

High concentration of o2

proteus vulgaris

cause of urinary tract infection



Need to make slides from 2:40 on to 2:54

Sms,s

Staphylococcus aureous

They make a grape Like cluster. Yellow in color. They cuase a lot of disease. They cuase e majority of food poising cases. It also cuases empitigo. Toxic shock syndrome. The bacteria collects in tampons if left in for too long they also come in coccus and diplo cocci. Some people carry this type of bacteria as a normal microbiata.can suave sepsis. Sudden drop in blood pressure due to bacterial systemic infection

Lesions of scalded skin syndrome

Cuases by staphylococcus aureous

Lactobacillus Lactus

A normal microbiata


In the mouth gi and baginal tract. It like acidic ph. They are grown in tomato juice media . They have an important function in vaginal tract. It keeps women from getting yeast infection. It's does this by producing acid which makes it not suitable for other microbiata

Candida albicans

Yeast that cuases yeast infections

Listeria monocytogenes

It's found in dairy products that are not pasteurized especially in soft cheese. It cuases flu like systems. However if a pregnant woman contracts she can get a still birth of early in the pregnancy and if late in the pregnancy can cuase meningitis in the baby or brain damage .

Actinomycetes

Fungus like. They are found in soil. They make filaments like fungus. Actcinomyces is the genus

Acitomycis israellii

Cuases my toms of the foot

Corynebacterium diptheriae

Up to 1935 the highest cuase of childhood death in the us . Cuase of diptheriae. Symptoms of diptheriae- grayish tuck membrane on the tongue and throat that can block the airway. Can lead to heart and kidney failure. Transmitted through droplet transmission. Meaning in the vacinity of drops of saliva can cuase transfer

Micro bacterium tuberculosis

M tuberculosis cuases tb. The reason for the name is the body attacks the bacteria and cuases terbucles. These are calcified after recovery . Tuberculosis can cuase skin rash. It is acid fast positive.

Micobacteria leprae

Cuases lepracy.also known as Hansen's disease. It doesn't like our body temp it like slightly cooler. So to grow this type of bacterium the use armadillos. They are carriers of this bacterium. The reason the effect the extremities are because the extremities are cooler. It effects the skin the peripheral nervous system and mucus membrane

Nocardia

They are difficult to grow due to the waxy lipid coating. They are also hard to treat due to waxy lipid coating. It cuases a difficult to treat pulmonary infection that spread to other places like the skin

Streptomyces

Majority of the Comercial


Y produced antibiotics are derived from this

Propionate bacterium acnes is a normal microbiata

However can cuase system lesions and cuase skin infections. It requires antibiotics to treat it. Also responsible for making prop ionic acid which makes our skin acidic and prevents growth and infection by other organisms or pathogens.

Thiomargarita

750 um which is huge for a bacteria



Eulopiscium

600 um also huge

Possibly something called nanobacterium
