Question
Answer
Francesco Redi   first controlled experiments challenging spontaneous generation. meat experiment  
🗑
John Needham   "a life force" produced spontaneous generation. boiling was not long enough to kill endospores of microbes  
🗑
Lazzaro Spallanzani   microbes move through the air, could be killed via boiling. critics argued that boiling destroyed the "life force in air"  
🗑
Pasteur's swan necked flask   disproving spontaneous generation. air moves in and out of flask. infusion remains sterile indefienitely. dust from air settles in bend.  
🗑
Germ theory by pasteur   defined what causes disease. many diseases are caused by the presence and actions of specific micro-organisms w/in body  
🗑
Koch major discoveries   1. dev and use of solid media. able to isolate bacteria 2. verified "Germ theory" 3.Dev "Koch's postulates"  
🗑
Koch postulates   causal relationship b/w causative microorganism and a disease. 1. same microorganisms (MO) are present in every case of disease 2.MO iso from tissue of dead, pure culture 3. MO inoculated into healthy cause disease. 4.MO iso from experimental animal  
🗑
Dmitri Iwaniwski   extracts from diseases tobacco plants can transmit disease to other plants after passage through filters  
🗑
Karl Landsteiner and Erwin popper   poliomyelitis was caused by virus  
🗑
Felix d'Herelle   independently recognized viruses which infect bacteria, bacteriophages  
🗑
John Enders, Thomas Weller, Frederick Robbins   grow poliovirus in vitro using human tissue culture  
🗑
Kausce   dev electron microscope  
🗑
Bright field   demonstration of morphology and size of stained bacteria and fungi  
🗑
Phase-contract   examining unstained cells in suspension  
🗑
dark-field   examining unstained bacteria, protozoa, fungi  
🗑
Flourescence   ID microorganism w/ sp AB conjugated w/ fluorochromes  
🗑
Transmission electron   demonstrating viruses in biological material and demonstrating ultrastructures of other microorganisms  
🗑
scanning electron   demonstrating 3D structure of microorganisms  
🗑
Archaea   often isolated from extreme env, highly saline lakes or acidic hot spings  
🗑
Fungi   eukaryotic. have cell walls. Molds and yeast  
🗑
Mold   multicellular, filamentous growth,repro via sexual and asexual spores  
🗑
Yeast   unicellular, oval to round, reproduce by budding  
🗑
components of flagella   1.filaments 2. hook 3. basal body differences in flagella proteins allow classification of sp in serovars  
🗑
Fimbria   movement and for adherence to each other and to env. biofilms.  
🗑
Pili (conjugation pili)   are for transfer of DNA from one cell to another. conjugation  
🗑
Gram staining procedure   1.Crystal violet. cells stained purple 2.iodine. mordant. cells remain purple 3.ethanol and acetone.decolarized. Gpos=purple. Gneg=colorless 4.safranin= Gpos=purple. Gneg=pink  
🗑
endospores   durability and pathogenicity. high content of dipicolinic acid and Ca. resistant to drying, pasturization, radiation, disinfectants  
🗑
during endospore generation, what stage is able to cause disease   when the cytoplasmic mem grows and engulfs forespore w/in a second mem. vegetatice cell's DNA disintegrates.  
🗑
Effector proteins   enzymes (proteases and lipases), proteins acting as cytotoxis or apoptotic. Gram neg bacteria esp!  
🗑
generation time   time required for a bacterial cell to grow and divide  
🗑
How is oxygen damaging to anerobes   oxygen is highly reactive and excellent oxidizing agent. oxidization causes irreparable damage to cells  
🗑
why do microbes require water   to dissolve enzymes and nutrients. reactant in metabolic rxns  
🗑
two common isolation techniques   1.streak plates 2. pour plates  
🗑
complex media ex   blood agar, macConkey agar, trypticase soy agar  
🗑
complex media   contain nutrients released by partial digestion of yeast, beef, soy, casein. Fastidious bacteria grow  
🗑
why is blood added to complex media   provide additional growth factors (NADH and heme)  
🗑
Selective media   contains substances for particular organism or inhibit the growth of unwanted organisms.  
🗑
examples of mobile genetic elements   plasmids, bacteriophages, transposons  
🗑
phage typing   use of well characterized lytic phages to id specific bacteria. causes lysis of bacteria.  
🗑
drugs   chemicals that affect physiology in any matter  
🗑
antimicrobial agents   drugs that treat infections. they can kill or inhibit growth of susceptible microoganism  
🗑
Paul ehrlich   "Magic bullets" arsenic compounds that killed Treponema pallidum, causative agent of syphilis  
🗑
Gerhard Domagk   Prontosil red for steptococi infections. converted to sulfanilamide in the body.  
🗑
Alexander fleming   Penicillin released from Penicillum spp.  
🗑
Selman Waksman   Antimicrobial agents produced naturally by organisms.  
🗑
Selective Toxicity   Based on differences of biochemical, structural or metabolic pathways b/w bacteria and eukaryotes.  
🗑
Mechanism of action of inhibition of cell wall syn   1. Inhibition of cell wall 2.Inhibition of pathogens attachment to or recognition of host 3.Inhibition of protein syn 4.Distruption of cytoplasmic mem 5.Inhibition of DNA/RNA syn 6.Inhibition of met. pathways  
🗑
Inhibition of cell wall syn   Prevent cross-linkage of NAM subunits in pep layer. Beta-lactams. prevent bacteria from increasing amt of peptidoglycan. No effect of existing pep layer. Weakened cell wall=lysis  
🗑
Examples of beta lactams   1.Penicillins 2.Cephalosporins 3.Monobactams  
🗑
semi synthetic derivatives of beta-lactams   more stable in acidic env. more readily absorbed, less susceptible to deactivation, more active against more types of bacteria.  
🗑
Mechanism of action inhibition of protein syn   Drugs selectively target translation at 70s (30s and 50s). can be more toxic and have more adverse effects  
🗑
Mechanism of action disruption of cytoplasmic mem   form channel through cytoplasmic mem and damage integrity.
