🇬🇧		🇬🇧

The relation between two different species of organisms that are interdependent; each gains benefits from the other

Mutualism

The relation between two different kinds of organisms when one receives benefits from the other without damaging it

Commensalism

The relation between two different kinds of organisms in which one receives benefits from the other by causing damage to it (usually not fatal damage)

Parasitism

A bacterium, virus, or other microorganisms that can cause disease

Pathogen

Consist of nucleic acid, proteins and a lipid envelope dependent on cells to survive replication occurs by the assembly of pre-formed components no persistence structurs, basic structurs allows them to persist in the environment.

What do viruses consist of

A unicellular organism having cells lacking membrane-bound nuclei; bacteria are the prime example but also included are blue-green algae and actinomycetes and mycoplasma

Prokaryote

Some bacteria can form specialised persistence structures known as spores which allows reaccurent reinfection and can exhibit cells that help the bacteria to be resistant to antibiotics.

Persistence structure of bacteria

Bacteria are classified by their shape and how they stain under microscope, gram positive= purple, gram negative= pink

How are bacteria classified?

The taxonomic kingdom including yeast, molds; distinct from the green plants. Eukaryotes

Fungi

Unicellular eukaryotes, transmitted by insects, by eating animals. reproduce both sexually and asexually

Parasites

The microorganisms of a particular site, habitat, or geological period

Microbiota

Caused by agents present in or on the body

Endogenous

Caused by agents in the environment entering the body through ingestion, inhalation, trauma, needle stick, sexual transmission.

Exogenous

Organisms that do not cause disease

Commensal

Do not normally cause disease but can if host defences are impaired

Opportunistic pathogens

What microorganisms are present? Are they causing any pathology? Do they require treatment? What treatment is required?

What the microbiology laboratory determines

'isolated' = have grown it 'detected' = we have evidence of a reaction 'indicated' = haven't seen it but have seen the affects of it 'seen' = can see it

Termonolgy in micro reports

Bacterial names are given as genus and species, both are italicised and Genus is captalised

How are bacterial names given?
