    Study Notes

    Microbiology - General Bacteriology

    • Bacterial Growth Requirements:
      • Physical: Temperature (10-42°C for most pathogenic bacteria, psychrophiles grow below 15°C, thermophiles above 45°C), pH, osmotic pressure
      • Chemical: Carbon, nitrogen, sulfur, phosphorus, oxygen, moisture, trace elements (iron, copper, zinc), organic growth factors
    • Optimum Temperature: 37°C for most pathogenic bacteria
    • Bacterial Growth Phases:
      • Lag phase: No growth, bacteria adjusting
      • Log phase: Rapid growth
      • Stationary phase: Growth rate equals death rate
      • Decline phase: Death rate exceeds growth rate
    • Hydrogen Ion Concentration (pH): Most pathogenic bacteria grow optimally at pH 7.5, some are alkalophilic (e.g., Vibrio cholerae), others acidophilic (e.g., Lactobacillus).
    • Osmotic Pressure:
      • Addition of salts/sugars increases osmotic pressure; used to preserve foods.
      • Extreme halophiles require high salt concentrations for growth
      • Facultative halophiles can tolerate moderate salt concentrations
    • Bacterial Nutrients:
      • Carbon: Structural backbone for organic compounds
      • Nitrogen & Phosphorus: Needed for protein and DNA/RNA synthesis.
      • Moisture: Essential for bacterial growth
      • Trace Elements (iron, copper, zinc): Needed in small amounts; iron-binding compounds (siderophores) help bacteria capture iron.
      • Organic growth factors: Most vitamins function as coenzymes.
    • Gaseous Requirements:
      • Obligate aerobes: Require oxygen to grow
      • Obligate anaerobes: Cannot tolerate oxygen
      • Facultative anaerobes: Can grow with or without oxygen
      • Microaerophiles: Require low levels of oxygen
      • Capnophiles: Require high concentrations of carbon dioxide
    • Bacterial Division & Growth Curve: Bacteria reproduce through simple binary fission divided into two daughter cells, with specific time frames for cell division, growth and replication.
    • Bacterial Metabolism: Catabolism (breakdown of complex molecules into simpler ones, producing ATP) & anabolism (synthesis of complex molecules from simpler ones, using ATP) occur simultaneously in bacterial cells.
    • Bacterial products:
      • Enzymes: Spreading factors, hemolysins, coagulase, IgA1 proteases
      • Endo-pigments: Serratia marcescens, Staphylococcus aureus (golden yellow)
      • Exo-pigments: Pseudomonas aeruginosa (blue pigment-pyocyanin, yellow pigment-fluorescens)
    • Bacterial Toxins:
      • Exotoxins: Diffusible, labile (denatured by heat), high toxicity, gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria produce.
      • Endotoxins: Not diffusible, stable, low toxicity, gram-negative bacteria produce.
    • Bacterial Virulence Factors:
      • Adherence: Pili, capsules (surface structures for attachment)
      • Invasion of host cells/tissues: Enzymes that damage host cells (e.g., hemolysins, phospholipases)
      • Toxins: Exotoxins (proteins), Endotoxins (Lipopolysaccharides)
      • Antiphagocytic factors: Preventing engulfment by phagocytes (e.g., polysaccharide capsules)
    • Bacterial Oxygen requirements questions:
      • Facultative anaerobes can grow with or without oxygen
      • Clostridium is an obligate anaerobe
      • Obligate aerobes require oxygen to grow
      • Microaerophiles require low levels of oxygen
      • Capnophiles require high concentrations of carbon dioxide
