BUCDCBUCDC Welcome
• B.U.C.D.C is the Boston University Center for Disease Control
• Founded: 1968
• Mission: The storage and study of pathogenic agents for the purposes of understanding disease transmission in order to control and eradicate potential outbreaks

Lab Safety: What’s So Dangerous?
• Pathogenic Agents– Bacteria: Necrotizing
Fasciitis, TB, Diptheria, Anthrax
– Viruses: Swine Flu, Measles, Mumps, AIDS
– Parasites: Tape worm, Guinea worm, Flea, Hook worm
– Prions: Kuru, Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD)
Pathogenic: “To cause disease”
![Page 6: BUCDC Center for Disease Control @ Boston University](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649d0f5503460f949e4cd7/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

Lab Safety: Eliminate the Transmission of Disease
• Communicable Disease: Can pass between individuals – Cutaneous
• Direct skin to skin contact is required for transmission
• Anthrax, Athletes Foot– Ingestion
• Transmission occurs when then the pathogenic agent is eaten
• Kuru, Tape worm – Bodily fluid
• Direct contact with the following fluids is required: saliva, blood, lymph, urine
• AIDS, Hepatitis – Inhalation
• Agent is airborne enters via the lungs
• SARS, Influenza, The common cold

Lab Safety Guidelines (Pg. 3-4)
• Primary Goals1. Protect researcher from the sample2. Protect the sample from the researcher
• Physical Barriers– Lab coats– Gloves– Tie hair back
![Page 8: BUCDC Center for Disease Control @ Boston University](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649d0f5503460f949e4cd7/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
BUCDCBUCDC
Lab Safety Guidelines (Pg. 3-4)
• Other– No eating/drink/headphones/cell phones– Waste goes into appropriate bins– Report all spills– All backpacks/jackets should be placed on
the counter away from the lab space– Wash all working spaces with 70%
ethanol– ASK QUESTIONS IF YOU ARE NOT
SURE!

• Who was exposed to the pathogen?
• Who was Patient Zero?
• How is the disease passed from person to person?
• What bacteria have we been exposed to?
• What is the best treatment for that pathogen?

Epidemiology - The Basics
Epidemic: When the number of newly reported cases in a population is larger then expectedPatient Zero: First known case of disease
• Epidemiologists try to figure out:H
ow (the disease is transmitted)
When (was it transmitted)
Where (did it start)
What (what is the cause)
Who (has the disease)

Ice Breaker – Discussion (Pg. 8)
• Who is Patient Zero?
• What is the most likely route of transmission? Explain.
• How would the transmission of the disease change if it were airborne? Waterborne?

BUCDCBUCDC Action Plan
• Who was exposed to the pathogen?– 8 people– The rest of the lab will be infected in 2 hours
• Who was Patient Zero?– The first known infected patient is #5
• How is the disease passed from person to person?– Most likely skin to skin contact
• Which bacteria have we have been exposed to?
• What is the best treatment for that pathogen?

Looking at the Gram Stains (Pg. 13-14)
1. Use the microscope to view Gram stained slides under various objectives:
4x – tiny specks/spots
10x – faint smear of colored spots
40x – start to see shape better
2. STOP. Raise your hands at this point.
3. A volunteer will help you set up oil immersion using the 100x objective.
4. Draw and label all FIVE bacteria samples using the 10x and 100x objectives.
1. The colors and shapes should be as accurate as possible
2. Determine if the bacteria are Gram positive or Gram negative.

• What are the two primary goals of lab safety?• A student is working with a rob shaped, gram + bacteria. (S)he puts a small amount of liquid containing that bacteria on a plate and places it in an
incubator to grow. The following day, the plate yields both gram + and – cells. What happened to the sample? • Even if a sample is not harmful to the scientists why should they always wears gloves?• In the outbreak scenario, when the pathogen was detected, the lab was pressurized to BELOW atmospheric pressure. Why is this so? (HINT: which direction
will the air flow?) • Assuming the bench top is clean, how could you test to see if any bacteria/contamination is present after it was cleaned?• How does the advent of modern travel (cars/airplanes/trains/boats) influence the outbreak of a disease? (HINT: review the case of the TB patient traveling to
Europe)• Name three methods that a disease can be transmitted. How are they similar? How are they different?• During the Spanish Flu pandemic of 1918, those with the disease were isolated from the rest of the population. What is this called? • How would geographical boundaries such as rivers and mountains protect against the spread of a disease?• How would the time that a infection takes to kill a carrier influence the spread of that pathogenic agent. (HINT: compare and contrast what would happen if
the patient dies within 2 hours of infection, versus one that may not die for 2 years) What are the two primary components of the peptidoglycan layer?• Draw and label a gram-positive and gram-positive cell to scale.• Which cell (gram-positive or gram-negative) shows the color of the COUNTER stain? What is the purpose of this counter stain? • Why is staining required to tell if a cell is gram+ or gram-• Label and draw the 3 types of bacterial morphology. • How do is magnification of a microscope calculated• When using a high powered objective, only the fine focus knob should be used, why?• What is the clinical value of the gram staining protocol• Draw the reaction (starting with hydrogen peroxide) that catalase is involved it. Label the states of each reactant and product.• What is the purpose of the catalase enzyme in cells? (HINT: Where does the hydrogen peroxide come from?)• In which organelle is catalase mostly likely found in human cells?• Catalase like many enzymes is temperature dependent. How would you design an experiment to test the activity of this enzyme? Assuming you are using
catalase isolated from human livers, at which temperature do you think the enzyme would be most efficient? Draw a graph of enzyme activity versus temperature
• Catalase is an enzyme; therefore what is it made of?• Catalase is present in ALL animals and in all tissues. Furthermore, it has nearly identical structures. Comment on the evolution history of this enzyme, when
and where did it List 2 targets of an antibiotic• Neusporin contains 3 different antibiotics, what is the benefit • Why don’t antibiotics work for a viral infection?• Draw a plate with 3 antibiotic disks. Describe what is happen to the bacteria in the region of each disk
– Disk 1 resistant,– Disk 2 susceptible– Disk 3 intermediate
• When a doctor prescribes antibiotics, it is strongly recommended that the patient take the entire dosage, even if they begin feeling better. Why is this important
• When dealing with a patient that has a bacterial infection, doctors usually prescribe older antibiotics first. Newer drugs are reserved for the most serious patients, why is this necessary?
