1 Bacteria & Viruses

2

3 4 Ways to Identify Bacteria
Shape Cocci Bacillus Spirochete

4 Cell Wall Peptidoglycan – in bacteria cell wall Gram (+) Purple Gram (-) Red

5 Flagella Slime Layer None
Movement Flagella Slime Layer None

6 Oxygen Needs of Bacteria
Oxygen at top Facultative Anaerobe Obligate Aerobe Obligate Anaerobe

7 Human uses for bacteria

8 Pathogens – Bacteria that cause disease
Two Ways Bacteria Cause Disease Produce Toxins (Food poisoning) Damage Tissue

9 Controlling Bacterial Growth
Antibiotics – Slows growth; does not kill bacteria Disinfectants – Chemical that kills bacteria Sterilization – Heat, pressure, gas that kills bacteria Refrigeration – Slows growth; does not kill bacteria Canning – High heat to kill bacteria Chemical Treatments – Preservatives in food; slows growth; does not kill

10 Virus – Obligate Parasite – Must have a host to survive and multiply
Capsid DNA or RNA

11 Lytic Cycle of a Virus

12 Lysogenic Cycle of a Virus

13 How Vaccines Work

14 Retroviruses Have RNA which needs Reverse Transcriptase
to convert into DNA and then added into host DNA for replication of virus

15 Prions – Infectious Proteins when eaten target specific tissues such as the brain Mad Cow Disease Scrapies in Sheep
