|
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 |
