Study Notes
Bacterial Characteristics
- Clostridium tetani: Gram positive rods with terminal spores
- Escherichia coli: Gram negative motile rods arranged singly
- Vibrio cholerae: Gram negative motile curved rods
- Yersinia pestis: Gram negative non-motile rods arranged singly
Gram Staining
- Gram staining divides bacteria into groups based on the presence of a thick or thin peptidoglycan layer (murein)
Diagnosis Methods
- Microscopical diagnosis of tuberculosis: Ziehl-Neelsen stain
- Detection of motile bacteria: Darkfield microscopy
- Detection of bacteria: Brightfield microscopy of stained smears
Bacterial Species
- A species of bacteria is a group of organisms with a close genetic resemblance to one another
Pathogenesis
- Incompleted phagocytosis is typical to pathogenesis of:
- Tuberculosis
- Whooping cough
- Gas gangrene
- Diphtheria
- Tetanus
- Botulism
Gene Transfer
- Transduction: Mechanism of gene transfer involving bacteriophages
Antibiotics
- Ampicillin: Influences cell wall synthesis by inhibiting crosslinkage of peptidoglycan layers
Bacteriophages
- Bacteriophages: Are viruses infecting bacteria
Laboratory Diagnosis
- Main method for laboratory diagnosis of staphylococcal infection: Bacteriological method
- Detection of Corynebacterium diphtheriae: Acid fast stain
Toxins and Innate Immunity
- Corinebacterium diphtheriae: Produces toxin, acting on protein synthesis
- Soluble factor of innate antiviral immunity: Interferon
Biopreparations
- Biopreparation used for passive specific prophylaxis of infectious diseases: Immunoglobulins
- Biopreparation used in probiotic preparations: Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium
Immunoglobulins
- Immunoglobulin ensuring local immunity: IgA
