1

Microbiologist

investigates microorganisms and bacteria

New cards
2

gross mythology

observing bacterial colony

New cards
3

gram stain

dye bacteria using crystal violet

New cards
4

cell morphology

what cells look like under the microscope

New cards
5

binary fission

bacteria dividing

New cards
6

dichotomous key

organizing observations and analyzations

New cards
7

bacterial culture

test tube, petri dish BOTH nutrient agar — called slant on test tubes

New cards
8

aseptic technique

procedure in sterile conditions

New cards
9

why do people use the streak plate method?

to isolate the bacteria on a petri dish - finding individual colonies

New cards
10

gross morphology

what a bacteria culture looks like large scale w naked eye - looking for color, shape

New cards
11

cellular morphology

bacteria under the microscope

New cards
12

gram positive

purple

New cards
13

gram negative

pink

New cards
14

staphlo

group/clusters

New cards
15

coccus

circular

New cards
16

bacilli

worm like (elongated no circular)

New cards
17

strepto

chain formation

New cards
18

diplo

double chain

New cards
19

which 2 types of disease are not living

virus and protists

New cards
20

medium

agar, nutrient broth, substance in which something is growing

New cards
21

why do we flame the loop in the streak plate method

to dilute the bacteria each time

New cards
22

why do we add crystal violet (First step)

to see the bacteria clearer

New cards
23

why do we add iodine (second step)

so that they crystal violet stays on the gram positive

New cards
24

why do we add alcohol (third step)

so the gram negative becomes transparent again

New cards
25

why do we add sufranin (last step)

so that gram negative turns pink to see clearer under the microscope

New cards
26

structures of gram postive and negative

Gram-positive bacteria have a thick peptidoglycan layer and stain purple, while gram-negative bacteria have a thin peptidoglycan layer and stain pink.

New cards
27

how do bacteria harm cells?

Bacteria duplicate and cause the cells to compete for resources, and release toxins into the cells, could also disrupt immune reaction, especially GRAM NEGATIVE

New cards
28

what does anti biotic resistant mean

Antibiotic resistance occurs when bacteria adapt and become immune to the effects of antibiotics, making the medications ineffective in treating infections.

New cards
29

what is dangerous in gram negative bacteria

lypopolysaccharide - HYDROPHOBIC

New cards
30

what happens if you forget to counterstain with sufranin

colorless gram-negative bacteria, making them difficult to distinguish from the background.

New cards
31

why do we flip the petri dishes upside down?

so the condensation does not spread on the agar, ruining the isolation of colonies

New cards
32

Computer Scientist

The primary goal of a computer scientist is to solve complex problems using computational techniques and algorithms.

New cards
33

Virologist

someone who studies viruses

New cards
34

Epidemiolgist

study trends & health issues, such as chronic illness and disease outbreaks by gathering info

New cards
35

Bacteria

comes through open holes (mouth, ears, nose wounds), disrupts cella and organ functions, prevented by vaccines or antibiotics, example of disease is tuberculosis

New cards
36

Fungi

spores of fungi, causes tissue damage, diagnosed through the the blood, treated through antifungals, example is athletes foot

New cards
37

helminths

consumption of contaminated foods, causes tissue or organ damage, cures w deworming meds, example is tapeworms

New cards
38

prions

meat, med equipment, causes brain damage, meds can slow but no cure, example is jakob disease

New cards
39

protists

ingestion of feces or raw foods, damage to digestive tract, tissues, or organs, prevented through anti-protozoal meds, example is giardiasis

New cards
40

viruses

contracted through touch, saliva, blood, infects other cells, damages host cells and tissues are destroyed, vaccines prevent, examples are flu influenza

New cards
41

how does a virus infect cells?

Virus infects cells by attaching to host cell, injecting genetic material, replicating inside cell, and releasing new viruses to infect other cells

New cards
42

disease

sickness, either temporary or permanent through transmission or genetically

New cards
43

infections

Infections are caused by harmful microorganisms invading the body, leading to illness or disease. They can be viral, bacterial, fungal, or parasitic.

New cards
44

pathogens

infectetious agents of disease

New cards
45

inherited disease

comes from parents or mutated

New cards
46

infectious disease

spread through other people

New cards
47

host

place that holds the disease

New cards
48

reservoir

place for disease to incubate, ready to spread

New cards
49

susceptible host

vulnerable to disease

New cards
50

chronic

long term condition

New cards
51

congenital

what they are born with

New cards
52

nosocomial

a hospital aquired infection (HAI)

New cards
53

endemic

perpetually present in a community

New cards
54

sporatic

comes and goes in seasons

New cards
55

outbreak

a sudden increase in occurences of disease

New cards
56

epidemic

rapidly spread to a large # of people

New cards
57

pandemic

an epidemic that spread across several countries

New cards
58

First line of defense (innate and nonspecific)

skin and mucus, as well as tears and stomach acid. White blood cells alert and rush to the pathogens, consuming whatever it can. Alerts B cells and T cells

New cards
59

second line (active and specific) steps

T cells arrive, destroying what they can. B cells are alerted and create anti bodies to rapidly and specifically kill the infection

New cards
60

humoral immunity

adaptive immunity from b cells recognizing the pathogen and making an antibody

New cards
61

innate immunity

defensive system what you are born with

New cards
62

adaptive immunity

reacts to new and specific antigens in the body (flu, covid)
