The basal body acts as a molecular motor (The motor of E. coli rotates 270 revolutions per second!) 80 Bacterial flagella are 10-20 µm long and between 0.01 and 0.02 µm in diameter and come in a number of distinct arrangements: 1. monotrichous: a single flagellum, usually at one pole 2. amphitrichous: a single flagellum at both ends of the organism 3. lophotrichous: two or more flagella at one or both poles 4. peritrichous: flagella over the entire surface 81 Monotrichous Flagellum of Vibrio cholerae Spirillum with Amphitrichous Arrangement of Flagella Spirillum with Lophotrichous 82 Flagella Stain of Proteus Showing Arrangement of Flagella Peritrichous Arrangement of Flagella PILI Pili are thin, protein tubes originating from the cytoplasmic membrane and are found in virtually all gram-negative bacteria but not in many gram-positive bacteria. The pilus has a shaft composed of a protein called pilin. Adhesive tip enabling attachment to receptors on a host cell. There are two basic types of pili: 1) short attachment pili = fimbriae (numerous) 2) long conjugation pili = "F" or sex pili (very few in number) 83 PILI Bacteria are constantly losing and reforming pili as they grow in the body and the same bacterium may switch the adhesive tips of the pili in order to adhere to different types of cells and evade immune defenses. Conjugation or sex pilus Conjugation is the transfer of DNA from a donor or male bacterium with a sex pilus to a recipient or female bacterium to enable genetic recombination. 84 ATYPICAL PATHOGENIC BACTERIA Phagocytosis of the Rickettsia Orientia tsutsugamushi The Rickettsia Orientia tsutsugamushi Within an by a Mouse Peritoneal Mesothelial Cell Intact Endocytic Vacuole in a Mouse Peritoneal Mesothelial Cell 85 Ehrlichia Infecting Host Cells Ehrlichia Infecting Host Cells: Reticulate Cells and Dense-Core Cells hrlichia Inside an endocytic vacuole (arrows).
