Flashcards do conjunto (25)
- 1Symbiotic relationshipInteractive bacterial relationships where the organisms work together
- 2Three types of symbiotic relationshipsCommensalism
Mutualism
Pathogenic - 3CommensalismA receive benefits from B but B is not affected by the change
- 4MutualismBoth A & B benefit each other by working together
- 5PathogenicA damages the host B
- 6PathogenicityAbility of bacteria to damage the host and cause disease
- 7Nature of disease is influenced byType of organism
Health/diet of host
Virulence factors
Site of infection - 8Nature of damageFormation of spores
Tissue destruction
Invasion
Blockage - 9Two outcomes when the body encounters bacteriaElimination
Accumulation - 10Elimination of bacteriaPhagocytosis
Starvation (iron deprivation)
Killing - 11Accumulation of bacteriaAdhesion (specific/non-specific)
Rapid growth
Survival - 12Microbial biofilmLiving film of bacteria in a self-produced matrix adhered to a surface
- 13Process of biofilm productionSingle/multiple species of bacteria adheres onto surface
Bacterial aggregation to form clusters
Formation of slime
Biofilm dispersal - 14VirulenceDegree of severity in which the microbial can cause diseases
- 15InfectivityDegree in which the pathogens can be transmitted/spread throughout the host body
- 16SusceptibilityDegree in which the host body may become infected
- 17Minimum Infective NumberMinimum number of microorganisms required to initiate an infection from a specific body site
- 18MIN dependsNature of organism
