2 Bacterial vs. Viral Infections Why don’t antibiotics work for viral infections? http://www.microbelibrary.org/microbelibrary/files/ccImages/Articleimages/simonson/Images/Streptococcus%20sobrinus%20fig1.jpg MicrobeLibrary.org; © Jean-Yves Sgro, University of Wisconsin Polio VirusStreptococcus Life Sciences-HHMI Outreach.

3 Bacterial Infections Viral Infections Can you think of some illnesses caused by viruses or bacteria? strep throat gastroenteritis cholera tuberculosis food poisoning botulism gangrene necrotizing fasciitis boils, abscesses pneumonia acne meningitis ulcers the flu colds AIDS hepatitis chicken pox gastroenteritis measles mumps E. Bola pneumonia West Nile cervical cancer Life Sciences-HHMI Outreach. Copyright 2008 President and Fellows of Harvard College.

4 Sample Bacterial Illness: Strep Throat infectious agent: Streptococcus pyogenes - spherical bacteria usually found in pairs or chains most sore throats are actually caused by viruses and are NOT considered strep throat (~15-35% are strep throat) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strep_throat symptoms: sudden, severe sore throat, fever over 101°F, swollen tonsils and lymph nodes, white or yellow spots on the back of a bright red throat transmission usually by air-born bacteria incubation period prior to symptoms 2-5 days Life Sciences-HHMI Outreach.

5 Sample Bacterial Illness: Strep Throat en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strep_throat diagnosed with a throat culture and detection of strep- specific molecules treated with antibiotics, usually penicillin for 10 days Life Sciences-HHMI Outreach.

6 Viral Illness: The Common Cold symptoms: sore throat, runny nose, nasal congestion, cough prevalance: 3 colds/ person/ year incubation period 2-5 days no cure for the common cold (or the flu) Life Sciences-HHMI Outreach.

7 Should you ask for an antibiotic when you have a cold or the flu? To understand why antibiotics DO NOT work for viruses, you should understand: how antibiotics work basic structural properties of bacteria and viruses basic biosynthetic pathways of bacteria and viruses Life Sciences-HHMI Outreach.

8 Structure of a Bacterial Cell http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Average_prokaryote_cell-_en.svg Cell Wall -maintains cell structure -composed of peptidoglycan, a polymer of sugars and amino acids Plasma Membrane -phospholipid bilayer surrounding cell -contains proteins that play a role in transport of ions, nutrients, and wastes Flagella -tail-like structure used for locomotion Life Sciences-HHMI Outreach. Copyright 2008 President and Fellows of Harvard College.

9 Structure of a Bacterial Cell Nucleoid -region DNA is found in prokaryotes DNA -single double-stranded circular chromosome -no histone proteins Plasmid -small circular chromosome -may carry an antibiotic resistance gene Ribosomes -site of protein synthesis (translation) Life Sciences-HHMI Outreach.

10 virulence factors: molecules produced by a pathogen that aid in its survival in a host Some Features of an Infectious Bacteria capsule: surrounds bacterial cell wall; protects bacteria from phagocytosis enzymes: break down matrix between cells allowing bacteria to spread throughout tissues pili: allows bacteria to attach to and invade other cells despite mucous and cell- turnover Toxins exotoxins: cause lysis of specific host cells enterotoxins: cause secretion of fluid into the small intestine leading to vomiting and diarrhea endotoxins: cell-bound lipopolysaccharides; causes fever and inflammation Life Sciences-HHMI Outreach. Copyright 2008 President and Fellows of Harvard College. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Average_prokaryote_cell-_en.svg

11 Bacterial Transcription and Translation - occur independent of host cell transcription occurs using a single RNA polymerase transcription occurs in bacteria independent of a host cell translation occurs using a bacterial ribosome consisting of a large and small subunit Life Sciences-HHMI Outreach. Copyright 2008 President and Fellows of Harvard College.

12 Bacterial Reproduction -can occur independent of host cell http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Binary_fission.png -bacterial chromosome replicates -cell growth occurs (includes cell wall synthesis) -cell elongates (includes cell wall synthesis) and the two chromosomes segregate - ring forms of FtsZ fibers and closes dividing the cytoplasm in two Life Sciences-HHMI Outreach. Copyright 2008 President and Fellows of Harvard College.

13 Properties of Viruses Host Cell Adapted from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Virus_Replication.svg#file Basic Structure single stranded OR double stranded RNA or DNA protein shell capsid some have a lipid bilayer with embedded proteins Nucleic acid Protein Capsid Lipid Membrane http://microbewiki.kenyon.edu/index.php/Image:8430_lores.jpg Influenza Life Sciences-HHMI Outreach.

14 Properties of Viruses Virion Host Cell Host Cell Nucleus Host Cell Ribosomes Host cell Golgi Adapted from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Virus_Replication.svg#file Virus Life Cycle virus attaches to host cell virus enters cell via endocytosis capsid degraded host transcribes viral DNA host ribosomes translate viral RNA new viruses assemble Life Sciences-HHMI Outreach.

15 Antibiotic Treatment of Bacterial Infections antibiotics kill bacteria or prevent bacteria from dividing antibiotics are produced naturally by bacteria and fungi antibiotics are mass produced by growing huge cultures of the source microbe http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Staphylococcus_aureus_%28AB_Test%29.jpg Why might microbes produce antibiotics in nature? to prevent the growth of microbe competitors Staphyloccocus aureus antibiotic Life Sciences-HHMI Outreach. Copyright 2008 President and Fellows of Harvard College.

16 Antibiotics: Mechanisms of Action Inhibition of Bacterial Protein Synthesis - some antibiotics bind to the large or small subunit of the bacterial ribosome Examples: neomycin, streptomycin, azithromycin, erythromycin, tetracycline Life Sciences-HHMI Outreach. Copyright 2008 President and Fellows of Harvard College. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Average_prokaryote_cell-_en.svg

17 Antibiotics: Mechanisms of Action Inhibition of Cell Wall Synthesis -some antibiotics prevent peptidoglycan formation Examples: vancomycin, amoxicillin, ampicillin, penicillin Life Sciences-HHMI Outreach.
