  • types of bacteria: BVFP
    • bacterial
      • B for bacteria
      • prokaryotic- no enclosed nucleus, so the bacteria is a PRO at CARRYING out infection
      • shapes of bacteria
        • unicellular- spherical (cocci)- "uni"- UNICYCLE like a bicycle wheel is round (spherical), cocci- circular letters C, O
        • rodlike- BACILLI spiral- SPIRILLA, spiral legs coming out of bacteria comma shaped- VIBRIOS corkscrew shaped- spirochete- (moves quickly, like cork from a bottle)
      • reproduce asexually- 1, 2, 4, infection knocks on the door, 8, feelin' feverish, mate, 16, 32, what do i do?
      • reside in nature- exposure to the environment, nature
        • invasion- bacteria are BAD- they like to fight with the body's natural defence mechanisms- phagocytes, antibodies
          • bacteria can produce carbohydrate or protein shields of defence to protect themselves against phagocytosis
            • Exotoxins: EXIT proteins released during bacterial growth – a poisonous substance
            • Endotoxins: ENTER (lipopolysaccharides [LPS]) – released during lysis (destruction) of the bacteria
      • can infect any area of the body- any part of you, i can do too!
    • viral
      • simple micro organism VIRON- simple nucleic acid shell on the viral organism. RNA and DNA, viral diseases are the most common amongst humans, viral herpes, coldsores, oral herpes, AIDS, HIV
        • 1. Attachment to target cell 2. Penetration 3. Uncoating (release of viral nucleic acid) 4. Replication 5. Assembly (formation new virons) 6. Release APURAR- attach, penetrate, uncoat, replicate, assembly, release
        • rapid division- short incubation periods like norovirus, not long before you catch V&D until you feel symptoms!
        • variation- flu - undergoes frequent antigen shifts; some viruses have multiple stable antigenic serotypes - person recovers from one serotype but not otherse.g. common cold
      • transmission – one infected individual to an uninfected individual: aerosols of respiratory fluids, contact infected blood, sexual contact
        • here comes the virus transport!  uses the human body like a human train station
    • fungal
      • simple organism lacking green chlorophyll- HOWEVER fungal infection on nails can appear GREEN
        • Eukaryotic; thick rigid cell walls & can form a variety of complex structures, e.g. fungal nail infection presents as thick, crusted, discoloured
          • dermatophytes- DERMA like on the skin, DERMIS, itching is intense- cracking, like ATHLETE FOOT
            • fungal pedis- ped (foot) fungal capitis (cap, head- wearing a CAP on your head)
              • Protection against phagocytosis – encapsulated yeast cells more resistant – block recognition by macrophages
              • Immune suppression – stimulate the production of immunosuppressive cytokines
              • Candida albicans – found in the mouth, GI tract and vagina- treatment using CANDESTEN Changes in pH & use of antibiotics can permit rapid proliferation
      • moulds and yeast, MY
    • parasitic and protozoal
      • any living thing that lives in or on another living organism
      • Parasitic worms (helminths) e.g hookworm &roundworm; flukes e.g. liver or lung fluke; and tapeworms- HELMINTHS: if you think about worms in your poor cat or dog (zoonotic), they give your pet HELL!
        • Risk factors – weakened immunity; lack clean drinking water; contact with soil containing infected animal or human faeces; live or travel in tropical, subtropical regions 4. Parasitic & protozoal infection- 
        • RAINFORESTS, TROPICAL CLIMATE, DEVELOPING COUNTRIES, MOSQUITOES, POOR WATER/FOOD HYGIENE
