Two Truths and a Lie

• I have wrestled and alligator.

• I have knocked down an elk.

• I have chased off a bear with a frying pan.

I. Key TermsA. Microbiology - the logic of small

living things.B. Microbiologist - specialist in the field.

There are 3 general branches: 1. Virologist- study viruses2. Bacteriologist – study bacteria3. Immunologist - study immune

systemC. Microscopy - observing minute

objects with a microscope• How small?

Page 4: Title Dr. Gary Andersen USD 500 Kansas City Kansas Public Schools 913-279-2211 gaander@kckps.org

D. Cell - the most basic microscopic unit of structure and function of all living things. Robert Hooke - Micrographia (1665) British natural philosopher coined the term “cella” which means small room. Note: a cell contains DNA and RNA!

E. Organism - any individual living thing composed of one cell or more.

F. Microorganism - any microscopic living organism

G. Microbe - a microscopic medically significant organism

– Pathogen – any disease causing organism includes, parasites, fungi, bacteria and viruses.

I. Germ – (colloquial) disease causing organism.

Page 5: Title Dr. Gary Andersen USD 500 Kansas City Kansas Public Schools 913-279-2211 gaander@kckps.org

J. Etiological agent - disease causing microbe usually in reference to a virus.

K. Etiology - the microbial cause or origin of any disease

L. Virulence - the degree of pathogenicity which varies depending on the strain of

microbe.M. Parasite - any organism that lives upon or

within another organism at whose expense it gains some advantage.

N. Virus - Latin term for “poison” refers to a non-living infectious agent. Contains either DNA or RNA, never both! Obligate Intracellular Molecular Parasites

Page 6: Title Dr. Gary Andersen USD 500 Kansas City Kansas Public Schools 913-279-2211 gaander@kckps.org

O. strains (see pg. 234) - microbes that belong to the same species but are further subdivided based on unique chemicals found either on the cell surface, or being secreted as exotoxins. For example, there is a difference between the type of toxin produced by the strain of E.coli in the U.S., and the strain found in water in Mexico!

I. Five Kingdoms of Life (note: viruses are not included!) See chart on page 237. A. Taxonomy - system of classification which forms

the basis for studying evolutionary relationships. B. Carolus Linneaus – (Swedish botanist) developed

system called BINOMIAL NOMENCLATURE for naming organisms (1735). K,P C, O, F, G, S

Plant and Animal Kingdoms only at first. Used Latin names.

Ex. Homo sapiens (genus) (species). Eventually the microscopic world was classified in

the late 1800’s. Ex. Escherichia coli (E.coli) (Genus) (Species). Discovered in 1890 by Dr. Theodor Escherich.

IV. The Scope of MicrobiologyA. Medical micro - infectious disease diagnosis

and treatment. There are roughly 2000 species of bacteria. Only ~ 200 are pathogenic.

B. Ecological - most bacteria live in soil and water. They form the basis of our food chain. Bacteria recycle:

• 1. Nitrogen - found in DNA, RNA and the plasma membrane of animals and protein

• 2. Sulfur - found in 2 of 20 amino acids. (Amino acids are the building blocks for proteins).

Page 40: Title Dr. Gary Andersen USD 500 Kansas City Kansas Public Schools 913-279-2211 gaander@kckps.org

• 3. Carbon - found in all living things.• 4. Oxygen - found in the atmosphere and

vital for making ATP.

C. Evolutionary - bacteria are considered the first living things on our planet. Their role has been to regulate the number of all species on the planet. The oldest bacteria are thought to be ~3.9 billion years old. The earth’s crust is thought to be ~4.0 billion years old.

K. Endospores -“dormant or resting cells” p 159

1. Function - allows 2 genus of gram + bacteria (Bacillus and Clostridium) a means of survival under extremely harsh environmental conditions. Not the same as “spores” found in plants or fungi.

2. ENDOSPORE RESISTANCE

a. Desiccation – drying out

b. Toxic chemicals except hydrogen peroxide and ethylene oxide

c. Antibiotics

d. Most forms of radiation

e. Boiling in water for one hour.

3. STERILIZATION Problems with endospores

A. All surgical instruments must be sterilized due to possible endospore contamination.

B. Autoclave is steam heat at 120 degrees Celsius for 20 minutes. 15 lbs pressure

C. Chemiclave is with ethylene oxide used to sterilize pacemakers and other heat sensitive materials.

4. ENDOSPORE CHEMICAL COMPOSITION

a. Calcium dipicolinate coats and seals the peptidoglycan.

5. ENDOSPORE LIFE CYCLE

a. Sporogenesis – the process of generating an endospore inside Clostridium or Bacillus.

b. Sporulation – the release of the endospore from Clostridium or Bacillus bacterium.

c. Germination – the return to the active vegetative state of bacteria when “normal” conditions exist. Oldest germinating spore was claimed to be 250 million years.

6. TWO MEDICALLY SIGNIFICANT SPORE PRODUCING GENERA

a. Clostridium – an anaerobic bacteria. Germinates only in absence of oxygen as in necrotic tissue. 3 major diseases causing species: C. tetani (tetanus), C. perfringens (gas gangrene), and C. botulinum (botulism).

b. Bacillus is an aerobic endospore forming bacteria. B. cereus – gastroenteritis, and B. anthracis – anthrax in sheep and cattle.

You guessed correctly. This is not true. I did knock down an

antelope, though.
