Question
Answer
filamentous bacteria   bacteria that resemble fungi. (Mycobacterium tuberculosis)  
🗑
spirochetes   motile bacteria  
🗑
true bacteria   divide by binary fission, cocci, bacilli, vibrios, spirilla. Most diseases in this category.  
🗑
mycoplasma   smallest and most simple member  
🗑
rickettsia   intracellular parasite, bacteria  
🗑
bacteria   prokaryotic unicellular microorganism, no nuclie, mitochondria, or membrane-bound organelle  
🗑
chlamydia   intracellular bacteria, but more complex than rickettsia  
🗑
Gram negative   does not retain crystal violet dye, LPS coating that produces endotoxin  
🗑
pili   way bacteria adhese for colonization. thin-rod like projections from bateria surface  
🗑
exotoxins   proteins released during bacterial growth; immunogenic-produce antitoxins. vaccine available for DTP  
🗑
Endotoxins   LPS, lipopolysaccharides, gram neg bacteria-pyrogenic, released during lysis of bacteria, antibiotics can't prevent, cause of septic shock, DIC.  
🗑
IgA protease   breaks down Fc receptor. bacterial protective mechanism by menigitis causing microbes-S. pneumoniae, H. influenza, N. meningitidis, N. gonhorrhoeae  
🗑
Teichoic acid   found in gram positive cell wall that resists against complement-mediated lysis  
🗑
Clostridia   anaaerobic, produce most powerful toxins known-bolutism, blocks ACh-causing flaccid paralysis; tetanus, gas gangrene, Clostridum difficile-diarrhea.  
🗑
bacterial superantigens   toxins that increase adherence of MCH and t-cell receptors, overproduction of cytokines. TSS, scarlet fever, food poisoning  
🗑
Beta lactamase   enzyme that destroys penicillin  
🗑
Fungi   eukaryotic microorganism, thick rigid cell walls with capacity to form a variety of complex structures.  
🗑
mycosis   fungal infection  
🗑
dermatophyte   tinea, skin mycoses; ringerworm, etc.  
🗑
Viral infection   simple microorganism, do not possess any of the metabolic organelles found in bacteria. intracellular parasites. RNA invade host and replicate  
🗑
reverse transciptase   create double strand DNA, DNA provirus takes over cells DNA.  
🗑
exogenous pyrogens   interleukins 1 & 6 (IL1, IL6). interferon (IFN), tumor necrosis factor (TNF. raise thermoregulatory set point.. (exogeneous pyrogens indirectly affect hypothalamus through endogenous pyrogens)  
🗑
batericidal antibiotics   kill the organsim  
🗑
bacteriostatic antibiotics   inhibit growth until the organism is destroyed by own immune system  
🗑
AZT   azidothymidine, antiviral that suppresse reverse transcriptase. HIV can mutate & resistant  
🗑
Dead bacterial vaccines   pneumococcal pneumonia-not very immunogenic in children; children receive conjugated vaccine that is more effective  
🗑
conjugated bacterial vaccine    
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
