pathogen   disease causing  
🗑
8 taxonomy levels   domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species

genus and species   the binomial name given to everything ex. E. Coli, Streptococcus mutans  
🗑
3 domains   Archea, Bacteria, and Eukarya  
🗑
Subspecies   strain or variety of organisms  
🗑
prokaryotes   does NOT have a nucleus  
🗑
eukaryotes   DOES HAVE a nucleus  
🗑
Archaebacteria   belong to "Archea Domain" ; ancient, oldest living forms known; able to live in extreme conditions  
🗑
Bacteria   Belong to "Bacteria Domain" ; unicellular prokaryotes - 3 types - bacillus (rods) , coccus (spheres), spiral (twisted) - all produce by binary fission - most are decomposers - some bacteria use flagella for motility  
🗑
Parasites   not always seen on microscopes  
🗑
Fungi   Eukaryotes that include yeasts (unicellular), molds (multi-cellular), lichens, and mushrooms ; heteroptrophic; have cell walls  
🗑
Algae   Eukaryotes that are photosynthetic (autotroph) and aquatic; multi/unicellular; categorized by the basis of pigmentation and composed of cell walls (red, brown, green); Agar is derived from cell walls of red algae  
🗑
Protozoa   Highly mobile aquatic eukaryotes which include paramecium, amoeba, mostly Asexual and sexual reproduction; capable of locomotion by Pseudopods, Cilia, and Flagella  
🗑
Viruses   missing link between living and non-living things ; first seen in 1932  
🗑
Microscopic Animals   Parasitic round worms, tapeworms  
🗑
Cell Theory   All living things are composed of cells  
🗑
Spontaneous Generation   believe that living things come from non-living things  
🗑
Antonio van Leeuwenhoek   Inventor of the microscope, made all microscopes on his own; Modern disciples: Bacteria, Protozoa, Fungi, Animals, and Algae  
🗑
Carolus Linnaeus   Father of taxonomy: First to discover Leeuwenhoeks microorganisms can be grouped into 6 categories  
🗑
Difference between Bacteria Cell Walls and Archae Cell Walls   Bacteria - contain peptidoglycan though lack cell walls Archae - composed of polymers rather then peptidoglycan  
🗑
Aristotle   proposed Spontaneous generation, believe that living things come from non-living things  
🗑
Francesco Redi   1st to do meat experiment  
🗑
John Needham   2nd to do meat experiment; boiled broth and sealed with corks, concluded must be 'life force' in flasks due to cloudiness  
🗑
Lazaro Spallanzani   Spontaneous generation does NOT occur; all living things arise from other living things; sealed glass by melting them  
🗑
Louis Pasteur   "swan necked flask experiment; developed scientific method; discovered fermentation and pasteurization - industrial microbiology and food and beverage technology  
🗑
Edward Buchner   demonstrated fermentation does NOT require living cells, enzymes promote chemical reaction; biochemistry and study of microbial metabolism, genetics and genetic engineering  
🗑
Robert Koch   Koch's postulates - etiology (causation of diseases) - anthrax ; simple staining techniques, First: photomicrograph of bacteria, photo of bacteria in diseased tissue, used steam to sterilize, use of petri dish  
🗑
Hans Christian Gram   Gram Stain - Positive is Purple, Negative is Red, microbial morphology  
🗑
Ignaz Semmelweis   "Father of Handwashing", required medical students to wash their hands in chlorinated lime water prior to entering surgery; higher pt survival rate women were dying from child birth bc drs were working on cadavers, wiped hands and deliver babies  
🗑
Joseph Lister   Antiseptic Technique, sprayed wounds, surgical incisions, and dressing with carbolic acid (phenol)  
🗑
Florence Nightingale   Nurse who implemented aseptic technique in hospital ward, cutting down on infection, advocate for for hospital and public health reform  
🗑
John Snow   mapped cholera epidemic in London, foundation for infection control and epidemiology  
🗑
Edward Jenner   developed vaccine for smallpox (injected boy with cowpox and smallpox), began the field of immunology  
🗑
Paul Ehrlich   "Magic Bullets" chemicals that would destroy pathogens but not harm humans; chemotherapy  
🗑

Why would a macroscopic tapeworm be studied in microbiology?   Even tho most of these worms are not microscopic as adults many of them cause diseases that were studied by early microbiologists. Infections of tapeworms were dx by finding microscopic eggs n immature stages in the blood fecal urine n lymph specimens.
