Study Notes
Microbiology and Infection
- The pore size of a membrane filter used to exclude most microbial contaminants is 0.2 μm.
Bacterial Characteristics
- The unit of measurement for bacterial size is micrometers (μm).
Bacterial Shapes
- Diplococci are bacteria arranged in pairs.
- Spiral-shaped bacteria are known as spirilla.
Cell Size Comparison
- Bacterial cells are generally smaller than eukaryotic cells.
Alex's Symptoms
- A possible cause of Alex's symptoms could be a bacterial or CNS infection.
- The type of infection likely associated with Alex's symptoms is a central nervous system (CNS) infection.
- A potential contributing factor to Alex's symptoms could be a compromised immune system or environmental factors.
- Headache and fever are indicative of a possible CNS infection in Alex.
- The likely age group affected by the symptoms exhibited by Alex is young adults or children.
