  1. EOG Review – GOAL 7 Microbiology

  2. Bacteria • Unicellular (living) • Prokaryotic (no nucleus) • Measured in micrometers • Three basic shapes • Ubiquitous (everywhere) • Some are extremeophiles (hydrothermal vents, deep in ice cores, etc.)

  3. Viruses • Not made of cells (nonliving) • Measured in nanometers • Basic shapes: robotlike, cylinder, sphere, bullet • Cannot reproduce on own • Invade a host cell that it uses for reproduction

  5. Infectious Diseases Caused by Microbes • Answers: • 1. • 2. • 3. • 4. • 5. • 6. • 7. • 8. • 9. • 10. • 11. • Flu/Common cold • Cholera • Thrush • AIDS • Smallpox • Tuberculosis • Strep throat • Malaria • Staph • Athlete’s foot • E. coli (food poisoning) A) bacteria B) virus C) protist D) fungi

  6. Contagions vs. Mutagens CONTAGIONS MUTAGENS “mutation” Anything that changes the DNA of an organism Examples: Cancer Down syndrome FAS • “contagious” • Anything can causes an infectious diseases (can be spread) Examples: • Lyme disease (tick) • HIV (body fluid) • Malaria (mosquito)

  7. Spread of Infectious Diseases • Air • Person-to-Person (carrier – can transmit disease but shows no symptoms) • Contaminated Objects • Animals (vector) • Environmental Sources (soil, food, or water) Epidemic A disease that spreads over a wide geographic area Pandemic An epidemic that spreads worldwide

  8. Conditions Conducive to Disease • Genetics • Poor eating habits • Insect bites • Eating undercooked food • Environment (dirty, damp) • Population density • Stress • Malnourishment • Lack of exercise • Lack of sleep

  9. Reproductive Potential of Bacteria Under ideal conditions, a bacterial cell can divide (binary fission) every 20 minutes. Time Population Size 0 1 20 2 40 4 60 8 80 16 100 32 Remember….this is called “exponential growth”.

  10. Preventing & Treating Infections Preventing Treating Antibiotics (only work on bacterial infections….NOT viral) • Passive Immunity • Active Immunity (Vaccination) • Antimicrobial products Research is ongoing to find new vaccines and cures for infectious diseases.

  11. Biotechnology • the use of living organisms to make products used by people • used to develop medicine, vaccines, crops, etc. • helps NC’s economy: • creates many research-type jobs • helps agriculture • creates ethical issues • “just because we can, might not mean we should”
