Introduction to Pathogens USDA NIFSI Food Safety in the Classroom© University of Tennessee, Knoxville 2006

What are bacteria? Single celled organisms Very small Need a microscope to see Can be found on most materials and surfaces –Billions on and in your body right now E. Coli O157:H7 can make you very sick. Streptococcus can cause strep throat. This E. coli helps you digest food. USDA NIFSI Food Safety in the Classroom© University of Tennessee, Knoxville 2006

What do they look like? Three basic shapes –Rod shaped called bacilli (buh-sill-eye) –Round shaped called cocci (cox-eye) –Spiral shaped Some exist as single cells, others cluster together Bacilli Spiral Cocci Cluster of cocci USDA NIFSI Food Safety in the Classroom© University of Tennessee, Knoxville 2006

Bacteria are ALIVE! What does it mean to be alive? –They reproduce (make more of themselves) –They need to eat USDA NIFSI Food Safety in the Classroom© University of Tennessee, Knoxville 2006

How do bacteria reproduce? Grow in number not in size –Humans grow in size from child to adult Make copies of themselves by dividing in half –Human parents create a child USDA NIFSI Food Safety in the Classroom© University of Tennessee, Knoxville 2006

How do bacteria eat? Some make their own food from sunlight—like plants Some are scavengers –Share the environment around them Example: The bacteria in your stomach are now eating what you ate for breakfast Some are pathogens –They attack other living things Example: The bacteria on your face can attack skin causing infection and acne Photosynthetic bacteria Harmless bacteria on the stomach lining E. Coli O157:H7 is a pathogen USDA NIFSI Food Safety in the Classroom© University of Tennessee, Knoxville 2006

What is a pathogen? Organisms that make you sick –Why do they make you sick? To get food they invade your body to get nutrients needed to survive and reproduce –How do they make you sick? They produce poisons (toxins) that result in fever, headache, vomiting, and diarrhea and destroy body tissue USDA NIFSI Food Safety in the Classroom© University of Tennessee, Knoxville 2006

Where do you get a pathogen? Contact with people who are sick –Direct or indirect Food, Water, or other Surfaces that are contaminated Indirect contact Direct contact Foods that could be contaminated USDA NIFSI Food Safety in the Classroom© University of Tennessee, Knoxville 2006

A Closer Look – Where do you get a pathogen Indirect Contact Direct Contact Foods and water may be contaminated USDA NIFSI Food Safety in the Classroom© University of Tennessee, Knoxville 2006

Are all bacteria pathogens? No, most are harmless Some are even helpful –Examples of helpful bacteria: Lactobacillus: makes cheese, yogurt, & buttermilk and produces vitamins in your intestine Leuconostoc: makes pickles & sauerkraut Pediococcus: makes pepperoni, salami, & summer sausage USDA NIFSI Food Safety in the Classroom© University of Tennessee, Knoxville 2006

A Closer Look – Helpful Bacteria Pediococcus - used in production of fermented meats Leuconostoc cremoris – used in the production of buttermilk and sour cream Lactobacillus casei – found in human intestines and mouth to improve digestion Lactobacillus bulgaricus – used in the production of yogurt USDA NIFSI Food Safety in the Classroom© University of Tennessee, Knoxville 2006

What are some common pathogens? Pathogenic E. coli (like O157:H7) –Found in ground beef, contaminated fruits and vegetables Salmonella –Found in raw meats, poultry, eggs, sprouts, fruit and vegetables Listeria –Found in deli foods, lunch meats, smoked fish and vegetables E. coli O157:H7 Salmonella Listeria USDA NIFSI Food Safety in the Classroom© University of Tennessee, Knoxville 2006

Examples of Bacteria Pathogens Salmonella Staphylococcus aureus Campylobacter jejuni E. coli O157:H7 What shape are these bacteria? Cocci, bacilli, or spiral? USDA NIFSI Food Safety in the Classroom© University of Tennessee, Knoxville 2006

A closer look at how Bacteria reproduce Binary Fission – reproduction in which a bacteria cell divides into two cells that are the same as the original. They can reproduce in 15 minutes if resources are available.

Protista can be Pathogens The Protista kingdom includes Algae, and Protozoans. They may have features like those of plants, animals, and fungi. They may be single celled or multicellular.

Protist can reproduce sexually or asexually Meiosis Budding and Fission

Common Protista Pathogens Sporozoan – lives in blood and may cause malaria. Trypanosome – lives in blood and may cause sleeping sickness. Entamoeba histolytica – lives in the intestines andd can cause severe diarrhea.

What are Viruses? Viruses and smaller than bacteria and much smaller than eukaryotes. They consist of a shell made of protein and lipid which protect the genetic material inside. They are not alive and non are helpful.

How do Viruses reproduce?

Diseases cased by Viruses Avian or Bird Flu Swine Flu Meningitis Mononucleosis Warts Hepatitis Bronchiolitis Colorado Tick Fever Encephalitis Common Cold HIV-AIDS Influenza Measles (Rubella) Mumps Polio Rabies Smallpox Hepatitis Herpes

What is a Fungi? Fungi are Eukaryotic heterotrophs and are unicellular and multicellular Some live as saprophytes They perform a crucial role in nature by decomposing dead organisms Some live in a mutually beneficial symbiotic relationship

How do Fungi Reproduce Asexually They produce spores Budding – Buds that break of from the parent and produce an identical copy Meiosis – sharing DNA with similar fungi

Pathogens use Cilia, Flagella, and Pseudopods to move.

Flagella A lash-like appendage that protrudes from the cell body of certain prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells used for swimming.prokaryoticeukaryotic The word flagellum in Latin means whip. flagellumLatinwhip

Cilia Common in single- cell organisms. These hair-like structure wave to move the cell around or to move something around the cell. Cilia is latin for eye lash.

Pseudopod A temporary protrusion of the cytoplasm of certain protozoans, usually serving as an organ of locomotion or phagocytosis.

How can I avoid pathogens? Wash your hands often so you won’t transfer bacteria to your mouth or food –Warm water with soap for 20 seconds, rub hard between fingers and nails USDA NIFSI Food Safety in the Classroom© University of Tennessee, Knoxville 2006

Cook food thoroughly to kill any pathogens that may be in your food Store food properly to limit pathogen growth –Cold temperatures (40  F) How can I avoid pathogens? USDA NIFSI Food Safety in the Classroom© University of Tennessee, Knoxville 2006

Review Bacteria, Fungi, and Protista are living organisms Most are harmless A few are pathogens that make you sick You can reduce the risk of getting sick by washing your hands and handling food properly. USDA NIFSI Food Safety in the Classroom© University of Tennessee, Knoxville 2006
