Single cell OR multi-cell organisms (Have nucleus, mitochondria and membrane bound organelles)
Guinea worm?

Reproduction in the microbial world: Prokaryotes
Binary fission (asexual, no mitosis) -> CLONAL EXPANSION
Reproduction in the microbial world: Viruses
Fission (asexual, use host apparatus) -> CLONAL EXPANSION
Reproduction in the microbial world: Eukaryotes
1.Binary fission [Yeasts and some protozoa] -> CLONAL EXPANSION,
2.Sexual Reproduction (mitosis) -> not clonal
What is Bacterial Sex/Bacterial conjugation?
Usage of pillus for exchange of gentic material (i.e tranmists plasmid, Abx resistance, etc.) between 2 bacteria. THERE ARE NO DAUGHTER CELLS
How do we name microbes?
Genus + Species (Staph + aureus or Staph + epidermidis)
2 ways to name viruses?
1.Scientifically (family, subfamily, genus, species and/or genus name),
2.Colloquial name (influenza, measles, HIV, etc.)
How do we name influenza?
1.Virus type (A,B,C),
2.Geographic Location,
3.Strain number,
4.Year of Isolation,
5.Virus subtype (Hemagglutinin, Neuraminidase; H#, N#)
When is the human microbiome colonized?
At birth (maternal vaginorectal and skin flora) - Colonization occurs in stage throughout infancy and based on environmental contact (Food, social interactions)
1.1 Bacteriology - BASIC CONCEPT AND KEY DIVISIONS

-

2 key families of bacteria?
1.Pathogen vs non-pathogen [vs opportunistic pathogen],
2.Aerobes vs anaerobes [vs facultative anaerobes]
Most basic division which reflects and determines lab Identification, Clinical Tx and Virulence?
GRAM'S STAIN (what color is the bacteria under the microscope?)
What are the 4 ingredients of Gram's stain?
1.CRYSTAL VIOLET (blue - purple),
2.Iodine fixator,
3.Acid and Alcohol or Acetone decolorization, 4.SAFRANIN (red)
Bacterial cell wall synthesis
Polymers of NAM and NAG with chains of amino acids are linked then bound together through penicillin-binding-proteins (penicillin interferes with the ability of penicillin binding protein to link a.a chains together)
Polymers of NAM and NAG with chains of amino acids are linked then bound together through penicillin-binding-proteins (penicillin interferes with the ability of penicillin binding protein to link a.a chains together)
Gram positive bacteria have _ cell wall than the gram negative
Thicker -> stains blue (blue doesn't decolorize even after the addition of Acid/alcohol or acetone decolorization)
Gram positive: Color? Suffix?
BOY: BLUE -> 1.Coccus, 2.Bacillus, 3Iium, 4.Onostoc, 5.Myces
[EXCEPTION: 1.Listeria, 2.Nocardia, 3.Gemella]
