Gram Positive Bacteria

Front 1

clostridium

Back 1

obligate anaerobes, endospore forming rods, produce toxins
Human D:tetanus, botulism, diarrhea, gangrene. Very large & lives inside a fish. Daughter cell not through bianary fussion gives birth to daughter cells

Front 2

bacillus

Back 2

endospore forming rods, common in soil, many produce antibiotics, human D & animal D: anthrax, food poisoning. Pathogen of insects and catipillars

Front 3

staphylococcus

Back 3

cocci in clusters, tolerate high osmotic pressure (salty locations)& low moisture (up your nose). can survive on human skin & nose. Human D:food poisoning ...(rapid onset, got sneezed onto your food), toxic shock syndrome..skin infection. Can swap genes creating antibiotic resistance MRSA.

Front 4

lactobacillus

Back 4

on human mucosa: GI, vagina, oral cavity. perform lactic acid fermt. of carbohy. used for sauerkraut, pickles, buttermilk, yogurt

Front 5

streptococcus

Back 5

cocci in chains, produce tissue & cell digesting toxins & enzymes, evade phagocytosis, by forming a caspsule around themself. Cause many human D: scarlet fever, pharyngitis, erysipelas, impetigo, rheumatic fever, neonatal sepsis, pneumonia, dental caries. lots of human infections

Front 6

enterococcus
broke streptococcus down

Back 6

on human mucosa: GI, vagina, oral cavity leading cause of (hospital infections) nosocomial infections: surgical wounds, UTI antibiotic resistant

Front 7

listeria

Back 7

contaminant of dairy and meat, can grow at frig temp. Sushi, deli meat, cheese salad bar. Survives phagocytes, crosses placenta:stillbirth or damage to fetus

Front 8

mycoplasma

Back 8

fungus or looks like fungus very small, no cell wall: sterols in membrane, smallest bacteria, can grow in filamentous from or single. human D:pneumonia

Front 9

mycobacterium

Back 9

usually bacilli, occasionally filamentous, cell wall has mycolic acid (waxy)=acid fast, drug & dehydration resistance hard to get drugs thru waxy cell wall, they are slow growers, human D:leprosy & tuberculosis

Front 10

cornebacterium

Back 10

pleomorphic, human D: diptheria

Front 11

propionibacterium

Back 11

form proionic acid used for swiss cheese on human skin, human D:acne

Front 12

gardnerella

Back 12

gram variable, pleomorphic human D: vaginitis

Front 13

streptomyces

Back 13

common in soil filamentous, arerobes produce external asexual spores degrade and fly away. Recycle tough organics produce many antibiotics. Earthy smell in soil

Front 14

actinomyces

Back 14

filamentous, falcultative anaerobes in human oral mucosa human D:actinomycosis, tissue degrading disease of head, neck & lungs, starts in mouth

Front 15

nocardia

Back 15

filamentous, reproduce by fragmetation, acid fast, aerobes, in soil, human D:pulmonary infections, mycetoma. thick skin on hands and feet, 3rd world, no shoes, warm soil.
