Question
Answer
explain how capsule is visualized without the use of eyes that adhere to the capsule   show
🗑
show The capsule can inhibit phagocytosis of pathogens, such as Streptococcus pneumoniae by white blood cells. The capsule also facilitates the attachment of bacterial cells to solid surfaces.  
🗑
show Capsules are composed of polysaccharides or proteins.  
🗑
show Streptococcus mutans forms a capsule that allows the bacterium to attach to the surface of a tooth. This results in the formation of a biofilm called plaque.  
🗑
show Because the capsule inhibits the immune system (see #1) and facilitates attachment to host cells/tissues, it has a greater capacity to cause disease. Any factor that increases the capacity to cause disease is called a virulence factor.  
🗑
show Heat causes the capsule to shrink because of the loss of water. Therefore, the student will probably not see a capsule in their stain.  
🗑
show are molecules produced by bacteria, viruses, fungi, and protozoa that add to their effectiveness and enable them to achieve the following: colonization of a niche in the host immunoevasion, evasion of the host's immune response.  
🗑
show Endospores are resting stages that allow bacteria to survive conditions unfavorable for growth.  
🗑
external structure on the endospore acts as a protective barrier? what is its composition?   show
🗑
show Endospores contain 1030% of the water found in vegetative cells.  
🗑
what is the mordant in the spore stain   show
🗑
show Nutrient depletion is usually the stimulus for endospore production.  
🗑
show Endospores must be exposed to 121°C, 15 psi of steam pressure for at least 1520 minutes. These conditions are achieved in an autoclave.  
🗑
show After Gram staining, the endospore is colorless. After the endospore stain, it is green.  
🗑
what is the secondary stain in the spore stain?   show
🗑
color of the vegetative cell after spore stain?   show
🗑
of these three hrnerp of bacteria which does not produce endospores? clostridium, mycobacterium or bacillus?   show
🗑
show Endospores are not reproductive structures, as there are no offspring created during the process.  
🗑
show Various answers are correct. Examples include botulism, tetanus, C. diff, food poisoning, etc.  
🗑
show Acid-fast cells (M. smegmatis) will be pink to red; non–acid-fast cells (S. epidermidis) will be blue.  
🗑
what makes mycobacterium resistant to staining   show
🗑
show Some Nocardia are acid-fast.  
🗑
show The primary stain in the Ziel-Neelsen method is carbolfuchsin, and basic fuchsin in the Kinyoun method.  
🗑
show The secondary stain in the acid-fast stain is methylene blue.  
🗑
in the ziehl-neelsen acid fast stain what is the mordant?   show
🗑
if you conducted an acid fast stain on a sputum sample from a person with TB what would you expect to see on the slide   show
🗑
show The Kinyoun method does not use heating in the procedure, and therefore noxious phenol fumes are not released  
🗑
what are chromophores   show
🗑
show Basic and acidic dyes differ in their charges, and therefore, they will be attracted to different parts of a slide when used to stain a specimen.  
🗑
show Acidic dyes are negatively charged, and therefore, they are repelled by negatively charged bacterial cells. Instead, they stain the background of a slide.  
🗑
crystal violet is an example of what type of stain?   show
🗑
what is meant by palisade arrangement of cells?   show
🗑
show Simple staining only indicates the shape, size, and arrangement of a bacterial species. Many different species have similar characteristics, and therefore, this would not be enough to determine the species  
🗑
show Streptococci are ovoid cells that occur in pairs or chains; yeasts are large ovoid cells that have characteristic buds  
🗑
how would you differentiate between oral streptococci yeast and spirochaetes in your sample?   show
🗑
show spherical cells,.  
🗑
show will be large rods  
🗑
show Negative stains have negatively charged chromophores and are repelled by negatively charged bacterial cells.  
🗑
show Nigrosin and India ink are examples of negative stains.  
🗑
show Heat fixation is normally omitted when determining dimensions of bacterial cells because heat will cause cells to shrink.  
🗑
show Negative stains can demonstrate capsules.  
🗑
S. aureus should be   show
🗑
P. aeruginosa should be   show
🗑
E. coli should be   show
🗑
show very large purple (gram-positive) bacilli with or without clear spots representing spores (depends on age of the culture) in pairs or chains  
🗑
M. catarrhalis should be   show
🗑
why is the gram stain considered a differential stain   show
🗑
how do gram positive and gram negative differ in cellular structure and how does this contribute to their differential staining properties part 1   show
🗑
show in the presence of the decolorizer as compared to gram-negative cell, which has a thin layer of peptidoglycan in its cell wall.  
🗑
how does the age of culture affect the gram stain reaction what is an optimum culture age for a valid gram reaction?   show
🗑
show The decolorizer step is very important because it is the step in which the cells become differentiated (gram-positive cells are purple and gram-negative cells are colorless).  
🗑
show If too much decolorizer is used, gram-positive cells will lose the primary stain and be counterstained pink. If too little decolorizer is used, gram-negative cells will not lose the primary stain and will remain purple after counterstaining  
🗑
show mordant is used to form a complex with the primary stain, allowing it to become trapped or fixed into bacteria with certain structural properties.  
🗑
show In the Gram stain, Gram’s iodine is used to form a complex with crystal violet, trapping it into gram-positive cells (and therefore, they are purple even after decolorization  
🗑
its the reagents of the gram stain technique in order and their general role in the staining process   show
🗑
what type of cell would you find lipoplusaccharide in its cell wall? gram negative or gram positive?   show
🗑
