Study Notes
- Diseases can be categorized as human-induced, degenerative, genetic, deficiency, and social.
- Some diseases may fit into multiple categories and are often multifactorial.
- Functional diseases are those where there is a malfunction of an organ or system without any obvious physical signs of disease.
- Bacteria can be classified based on whether they are Gram-positive or Gram-negative.
- Gram-positive bacteria are stained purple by Gram's stain, while Gram-negative bacteria are stained pink.
- The cell wall structure of Gram-negative bacteria is different from that of Gram-positive bacteria.
- Gram-negative bacteria have less peptidoglycan in their cell walls and an outer membrane that secretes endotoxins.
- Diseases caused by Gram-negative bacteria are generally more difficult to treat with antibiotics.
- Tuberculosis is caused by a Gram-positive bacterium.
- The precise cause of functional diseases is yet to be discovered, but there may be abnormalities in the organs involved.
