Bacteria Structure
Protects the cell and the internal structures. Also responsible for Gram positive or negative results
Cell Wall
What are the three structures of bacteria and what do they look like?
Cocci: spheres
Bacilli: Rods
Spirilla: Spirals
Name of a sample collected for further testing and analysis
A bacteria is _________ if an antibiotic inhibits the growth of the microbe
Susceptible
Antibiotic that prevents the growth of bacteria
Bacteriostatic
Sticky exterior structure on bacteria cell. Aids in antibiotic resistance
Capsule/Glycocalyx
Two part staining process where the fbacteria may be recolorized and restained
Gram staining
Techniques used to eliminate contamination from other pathogens
Aseptic Technique
Susceptibility test there antibiotics are placed on culture plate. Clear rings mean no growth.
Disk Diffusion
Antibiotic that kills bacteria
Bactericidal
Long structure used to propel organism through the environment
Flagella
What structure is responsible for gram negative versus gram positive staining and how?
The cell wall. Thick holds on to the dye making it gram positive. Thin walls are gram negative
What is it called to introduce microbes to a medium (1) and to grow the microorganisms (2)
Inoculation and culturing
Susceptibility test that determines the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) of an antibiotic
Broth Dilution
This type of antibiotic is ideal for treating pathogenic E. Coli infections. Recall, E.Coli is part of the normal flora
Unbonded region where chromosome is found
Nuceoid
Staining used in lieu of gram staining due to chemical differences between crystal violet for gram staining and the bacteria cell
Acid-Fast Staining
Media that favors some organisms and suppressing growth of others. ex: Mannitol Salt Agar (MSA)
Selective Media
Determined via "no visual growth" from broth dilution
Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC)
This disease required acid-fast staining to help identify and multiple months of antibiotics to treat
TB
Used to translate genetic material to proteins
Ribosomes
Illness caused by a bacteria that cannot be gram stained due to the waxy layer outside of the cell wall
Tuberculosis
Growth media that produces visible difference between microorganisms
Differential
Determined via culturing sample with the Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC). This determines the dose of antibiotics along with the MIC
Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC)
Disk Diffusion with Methicillin
