IV. Bacterial Growth and Genetics Conclusion:
V. Medical Bacterial Implications
VI. Normal Flora • Fly eggs and maggots (life) do not spontaneously
generate from decaying meat (non-living matter).
• Maggots could only form when flies were allowed
to lay eggs in the meat, and that the maggots were
HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT the offspring of flies, not the product of
ROBERT HOOKE spontaneous generation.
• Conclusion:
→ microbes do not spontaneously generate;
cracked flasks allowed microbes to enter form
the air.
→ Opposers claimed Spallanzani’s sealed flasks
excluded a “vital source” that was needed for
spontaneous generation

ARCHAEBACTERIA
- They protect the bacteria so that it will not be - More susceptible to penicillin.
easily killed by our immune system.
ALL COCCI ARE GRAM POSITIVE EXCEPT
Fimbre Neisseria
Moraxella
- Enables the bacteria to properly attach itself Veilonella
to the cell membrane.
• Cytoplasm contains
→ matrix - ribosomes, nutrient granules,
metabolites and plasmids
→ Nucleoid region-composed of DNA
Prokaryotes
• Temperature - mesophilic
→ Psychophiles (0-10C)
→ Mesophiles (20-40C) - most human pathogens
→ Thermophiles (50-60C)
• pH-6.5-7.5 (Neutrophiles)
• Carbon
• Nitrogen, Sulfur, Phosphorus, Amino acids, trace
elements
• Oxygen
1. Movement of Transposons
- Small pieces of DNA that move to different
sites cause it to be heat-sensitized or
resistant to an antibiotic.
BACTERIAL GENETICS
PATHOGENECITY
DEFINITION OF TERMS
1. Communicable
- Spreads from host to host
- Can be contagious
2. Epidemic FACTORS AFFECTING PATHOGENESIS
- Most frequently appears than usual
3. Pandemic • Organism/Agent
- Worldwide - The greater the number of organism the
4. Endemic greater chance that we can acquire an
- Specific population infection.
5. Inapparent or subclinical • Host
- Isolating microorganism form the host - Innate, Adaptive, or Acquired
6. Latent Stage

BACTERIAL INFECTIONS
• Transmission
• Adherence to Cell Surface – because of pili and
appendages
• Invasion, Inflammation and Intracellular Survival-
because of the capsule
