Origin of viruses
We have several theories for origin of viruses , one theory states
that viruses represent ancient derivatives of degenerate cells or
cell fragments . Some cells undergo degeneration , disintegration& fragmentation , these fragments of cells undergo development
& become viable , they become a separate entity .
Most scientists agree that viruses are non-living entities , they are
not alive outside the cells . Viruses need the machinery of the
host cells in order to replicate themselves .
Bacteriophages
Viruses that infect bacteria are known as bacteriophages orsimply phages . As we have viruses that infect our cells we have
viruses that can infect bacterial cells & they have certain
receptors on certain bacterial cells .
Virulent bacteriophages always cause what is known as the
lytic cycle which ends with the destruction of the bacterial cell .
When the virus enters into a cell ( bacterial , animal or
plant cell ) its DNA or genome , once it gets into the cytoplasm of
the host cell , will either :
(1)integrate with the chromosomes of the bacteria
( become a part of these chromosomes )
OR
(2) use the machienary of the host cell in order to build
the structure or the whole body of the virus . So we will
have a large number of viruses in the cytoplasm of thehost cell , these viruses will secrete enzymes that will
poke a hole from inside of the membrane of the host
cell leading to lysis of the host cell , & finally these
viruses will come out from the cells in large number &
start infecting other neighbouring cells , that's what we
-

call lytic cycle .
A partially lysed cell of Vibrio cholerae with attached
virions of phage CP-T1
Human viruses have certain classification , they can be classified
as DNA viruses , RNA viruses , viruses with envelope or naked
viruses . So we have different kinds of classification .
The same thing for the viruses that can infect the bacteria , we
have different families & each has its own members . For example
: Vibrio cholerae has a special phage that can infect the bacteriawhich are called CP-T1 ( it's a bacteriophage ) & under the
electron microscope we will see the bacterial cell with the
bacteriophage infecting it is attached to its surface & it's partially
lysed & in the end it's gonna be destroyed totally .
Question: a virus infect a cell & get out in a large number to
attack neighbouring cells , will only one virus infect this the
neighbouring cell or it will be infected by a group of viruses ?
Answer : infection can be initiated by one virus , it will enter the
cell & start to replicate , when density is enough (they know that
using sensory mechanism ) , they will get out of the cell . The cell
has receptors & can be infected by more than one virus but only
one virus is enough to initiate the infection .
B acteriophage T4
it's an assembly of protein components , it has a head , collar , tail& tail fibers which will be used by the virus to attach the surface
of the bacterial cell , then it will pierce the cell wall to inject the
DNA into the cytoplasm of the cell , so , only the DNA of the virus
will enter the host cell & the other components of the virus will
remanil outside .

Animal viruses
what happens in animal cells is different from what happen in
bacterial cells .
the steps in multiplication of animal viruses are :* attachment * penetration *uncoating *biosynthesis * assembly
in general , they are the same steps but the details are a little bit
different for the viruses that can infect a human or animal cell
(human & animal cells are the same according to biology books ,
which is not true ).
Inclusion bodies are remnants or collections of viruses , often
seen in infected cells and used as diagnostic tool to identifyparticular virus diseases .
Using electron microscope , we can detect :
- Adsorbtion :attachment of the virus to the surface of
the host cell
- Penetration : enterance of the viral component into the
cytoplasm of the host cell
When bacteria is infected by a virus , only viral DNA will enter the
bacterial cell , while for human viruses , such as Herpes Simplex 1
& 2 , the host cell will be uncoated & the whole virus will enter
into its cytoplasm then DNA will replicate & the structure as a
whole will be built .
Herpes Simplex 1 will cause blisters which will appear around
your mouth when you have a fever , cold , stressful exam &
you can have it also sexually transmitted disease .
Herpes Simplex 2 is also as a result of sexually transmitted
disease .
Replication of animal viruses is different from replication oh

bacteriophages .
Latent virus infection
Viral infection in which the virus is able to hide from a host's
immune system by entering cells & remaining dormant , such asHerpes virus .
Once you are infected by Herpes Simplex virus , you will have it
for lifetime . you will not be able to get rid of it , there is no cure .
In this case , if you have Herpes Simplex 1 virus , if it's in the oral
cavity , you will carry this virus in the end of the ganglion ( in the
nerve endings in the cheek area ) & when you are exposed to a
hot , fever , cold , stress . It will migrate all the way to theepithelial cells around your lips .
The same things for herps simplex 2 its gonna appear on your
genital and it will be dormant (3adm wgood symptoms) , and
what are the symptoms : vesicles or blisters like Akyas s3ere
feha sa2el . and this liquid will be rich in virus.
Then if you touch the blister and then you touch your eye or nose
you are going to infect other part in your body. So Dont do that !it is going to heal by itself , there is some kinds of inhibitors like
ointments (similar to Vaseline) you can use it (ointment is like a
cream that contain the therapy like antibiotic, steroidit is greasy
preparation that is insoluble in water) so as the dr said you put it
on the blister and it will become dry and hide later on. But the
herpes (type of virus) will be recurrent when you are under
stress like on examination.
The same thing for herps simplex 2 which will appear in the
genital area.
If there is no symptoms like no blister it doesnt mean that there
is no virus ; still you have it. It is infectious and contagious
(mo3dde) .

Herpes virus infections are acquired (you get it from
other people), we call it cold sore (Al7amo).
Genital Herpes
Chickenpox .and Shingles
Now chickenpox is most children infected by it. Almostall of us we had chickenpox , nowdays there is vaccine for it.
When you are infected by chickenpox virus it can be mild like
no symptoms, and it can present as blisters (similar to the
Herpes virus).
Note: Chekenpox virus belong to the same family of Herpes
viruses which is called Human Herpes Virus type 3 , and the
virus that cause chickenpox called Varicella zoster virus again
which type 3 in the group.
Now Chickenpox virus might come back in the forties (at age
40, 50 or even 60). It is going to be stimulated and comeback
to appear on you, when your immune system is down, and it
will appear in a different form and we call it Shingles. (in other
ward to have Shingles you have to be infected by the
virus for the first time during childhood, and later on at
age 40 for example when your immune system is weak
Virus will be stimulated and the second appearance we
call it Shingles).
Shingles :
Very painful , and the blisters will not be limited to the oral
cavity, it also will appear on your skin at your back and neck ,
like a girdle hens its name .
Mainly as we said it appear in old people.

Again the same virus that cause Chickenpox in childhood, it
cause Shingles in middle-age or older, when we are
immunosuppressed.
Antiviral agent: medication to treat the virus.For example you go to the pharmacy asking for drug to relief
the sore throat
It is important for you as a dentist to know these information
because you are the one who is dealing in patients mouth and
you should know how to discover that this patients is infected
(if he didnt tell you) because sometimes you are not allowed to
treat him for your safety because as we said viruses is
contagious).
Viruses can cause Septicemia (blood toxicity) , or affect the
heart casing Infective Endocarditis by the blood that circulate in
your body when it reach the heart.
Going back to the Sore throat, when the patient open his mouth
you can see inflamed tonsils (enlarged and red) , if you see pus
then it is bacterial infection. If you see enlarged, red inflamed
tonsils without pus then it is Viral infection.
Bacterial infection can be treated by Antibiotic for
example: Amoxicillin
Now all of us do the same mistake that when we have Viral throat
infection we take Antibiotic which is wrong, it will not help us. The
antibiotic that we take is a broad spectrum it means will work ongram negative and gram positive bacteria . By taking the
Antibiotic when there is no need we will encourage bacteria to be
Resistant
For viral infection we take Antiviral agents and usually we dont
-

treat Virus, they are not curable. We can inhibit the development
of the virus but we cant get rid of it.
Steps for viral attacking the body :
1. Absorption or Attachment
3. Penetration
4. Replication and then they are going to come out
Now the drugs that are design to treat viruses will target one of
these steps either it inhibit the attachment of the virus onto the
body cell surface or it will be targeted to inhibit penetration intothe cytoplasm in human cells or its not going to allow the coating
process , or transcription , translation process.
Again one of the previous steps will be inhibited by the antiviral
(depend on the manufacture) . and to be honest the treatment is
not really effective especially because it is Virus infection.
Some of the viruses are Oncogenic which mean can cause Cancer
they are carcinogenic (causing cancer) we have also chemicals,
radiation.
Examples of oncogenic viruses that are
carcinogenic:
Epstein Bar virus
Human papilloma virus

Thats why HIV very bad disease because in one hand we are
infected by the virus and in the other hand we will be
infected by bacteria and Fungi.
Aswe know that DNA will transcript to messenger RNA(it is thenormal function,) but in retroviruses will happened something else
or the opposite , because in the viruses we have an enzymecalled reveres transcripts , that able to reverse the process ,which mean from RNA to a copy DNA (CDNA) , then DNA willreplicate ,and will integrate it self to chromosome of the host cellwhich human cell , and will look for a receptor on T cells whichpart of cellular defense ( T CELLS MORE SPICEFIC AND POWRFULL
THAN HUMRALL IMUNO DEFENS ) ,and because they are morespecific so when the HIV attack T CELLS which we can find on it
( CD4+) on the surface , so it will find this receptor (CD4+) andthen destroy these important cells of the immune system , as theresult the immune system will reduced down , in this caseeverything will attack us like fungi , Bactria lets see a picture forHIV
As you can see its an envelope layer which its lipid layer , and wehave glycol-protein 120 , GP 41 , AND THE enzymes that we canfind them like reverse transcriptase , integrase ,protease and this3 enzymes very important to get in the host cell in order toreplicate and integrate

VIRIODS AND PRIONS:Viruses are very small nonliving infectious agent , viroids andprions are even smaller and less complex infectious agent .
The viroids consist of short naked fragments of single strand RNA
that can interfere with plant cells but not our cells, they aretransmitted between plants in the same manner as viruses.
Plant diseases caused by viroids :- ,
1. potato spindle2. citrus exocorits
Prions: are the dangerous one for us, they are small infectiousprotein particles abnormal in shape that apparently cause fatal
neurologic diseases in animals (sheep, deer, cow). Such as1. Scarpie2. Bovine spongiform encephalopathy
(mad cow disease)Note : mad cow disease happened becausepeople was fed cows bones from another diedanimals.
3. Creutzfeldt Jakob disease
What Happened?
When prions face normal proteins especially in brain tissue, they
convert the normal protein particles to prions, This will formed a
chain of infictions. That means when the normal proteins
converted into prions (abnormal proteins ) they will infect the
normal one again and again and again, so all the brain tissue will
be completely dissolved.
- Of all pathogens, prions are believed to be the most
resistant to disinfectant : prions can't be killed ( even
by radiation).
- The mechanisms by which prions cause disease
-
8/2/2019 Microo 6

remains a mystery. Although it is thought that prions
convert normal protein molecules into nonfunctional
ones by causing the normal molecules to change their
shape.
'Now lets back to the bacteria'
Bacteria divided into three categories:
1- Gram Negative and have cell wall.
2- Gram Positive and have cell wall.
3- Lack a cell wall.
The differences between the three categories:
1- Gram Negative :- they have additional outer
membrane beside the cell wall. Their cell wall formed
from a thin peptidoglycan layer ( 22 layers)
2- Gram- Positive :- they don't have additional outer
membrane. Their cell wall formed from a thick
peptidoglycan layer.
3- Lack a cell wall :- they are bacteria that lost their cell
wall. So how they can live without it ( without
protection) ? the answer is that they have a different
structure that give rigidity and protection.
Many characteristics of bacteria are examined to provide data
for identification and classification, these characteristics
include:
1)Cell morphology (shape) :-
There are three basic shapes of bacteria :
a- Round or spherical :- The cocci
b- Rectangular or rod :- The bacilli
-
8/2/2019 Microo 6
13/15
c- Curved or spiral :- The spirilla
The cocci :
a- May seen in pairs :- Diplococci.
Example: neisseria gonorrhoeae that causes gonorrhea
disease
b- May seen in chains :- Streptococci.
Example: streptococcus pyogenes that causes strep throat
( pharyngitis)
c- May seen in clusters :- Staphylococci.
Example: staphylococcus aureus that causes boils (acne)-
d- May seen in pucket of 4:- Tetrad
Example: micrococcus luteus ( normally on our skin) and
their colonies in the plate are yellow they are rarely
pathogenic.
e- May seen in packet of 8 :- Octad.
Example: sarcina ventriculi, they are rarely pathogenic.
1)Staining reaction :
a- They may be Gram- Positive (red in color) or Gram-
Negative (violet in color), it depends on the wall
structure.
b- They may be Acid- Basic stain for special kind of
microorganisms, such as: Mycobacterium. Gram stain
will not be benefit to the Mycobacterium because
their cell wall structure is different , they have thick
-
8/2/2019 Microo 6
14/15
lipid layer because of that layer it's hard to the stains
to penetrate the cell wall. But this Acid-Basic stain
has special procedure that let the stain to enter the
cell and don't let it get out.
1)Motility :
Some of these microorganisms have structures that enable
them to move, these structures called Flagella, but if they
don't have flagella, they will move by the media that they
exist in it.
2)Colony morphology :
Colony means : when you cultured the bacteria in the agarand put it in the incubator and give it all the things that is
similar to our body (37c , O2 , CO2), then we wait 24 hours
or more ( it depends on the type of the bacteria). Then we
check if there is growth on the surface of the agar or not, if
there is a growth, this growth will be in different forms ( it
may be large colonies with different colors or it may be flat
colonies. )
3)Atmosphere requirement :
We classify it on the basis of their relationship to O2:-
a- An aerobic microorganisms that can't live without O2.
b- An anaerobic microorganisms that can live without
O2.
c- Some of them in between that can live with small
amount of O2
Also if it needs CO2, N2, H2 we must give it what it needs.
1)Biochemical and metabolic activities :
As bacteria grow, they produce many waste products and
-
8/2/2019 Microo 6
15/15
secretions, some of which are enzymes that enable them to
invade their host and cause disease.
This biochemicals added to the bacterial nutrition, they
includes different reagents, if the reagent shift from onecolor to another this will indicate that this bacteria producing
specific kind of enzyme, which means using a substrate in
the presence of the reagent will change the substrate into
another one, this substrate has an enzyme that able to use
the substrate in the tube of the product according to the
color changing.
2)Pathogenic and genetic composition :
The most modern and fastest identification of bacteria using
some types of test procedure which referred as molecular
diagnostic procedure.
