| what are the differences between Gram-postive and Gram- negative bacteria | Gram-postive bacteria have a thick peptidoglycan layer in their cell wall and stain purple in the Gram stain, while Gram-negative bacteria have a thinner peptidoglycan membrane, staining pink/red |
| What is the role of normal flora in the human body? | Normal flora are microorganisms that live on or in the body without causing disease. They protect against pathogenic microbes, aid in digestion, and help with the immune system function |
| Define pathogenicity and virulence | Pathogenicity is ability of a microorganism to cause disease, while virulence refers to the degree of pathogenicity or the severity of the disease caused by themicrobe |
| What is purpose of Koch;'s postulates? | Koch's postulates are a series of criteria used to establish a causal relationship between a specific microorganism and a disase. |
| What is an antibotic, and how does it work? | An antibiotic is a sibstance produced by a microorganism that can kill or inhibit the growth of other microorganisms. it targets specific structures or processes in bacteria, such as cell wall synthesis or protein production. |
| What is the function of the immune system in relation to microbes? | The immune system protects the body from infection by recognizing and attacking foreign microorganisms (pathogens) through both inhale and adaptive immune responses |
| What is aseptic technique and why is it important? | Aseptic technique involves practices and procedures to prevent contamination by pathogens. it is essential in healthcare settings to reduce the risk of infection during medical procedures |
