PREPARATION

,Microbiology
study of algae, bacteria, fungi, prions, protists, protozoa, and viruses
Bacteria
prokaryotic ---> unicellular
- no distinct nucleus and genetic materials are free floating
- Ex: Strep. M.
How do most prokaryotes reproduce?
via binary fission. a process in which the cell grows in volume until it divides in half to
yield two identical daughter cells
Virus
a small microorganism that requires a host (animals, plants, bacteria) to inject its RNA
or DNA to reproduce
Viruses are NOT
plants, animals, bacteria and placed in their own kingdom
Fungus
mold, mushrooms yeast etc
eukaryotic organisms that contain membrane-bound organelles and clearly define nuclei
- reproduction fission and spores
- candida
Fungi are everywhere in vast numbers in places like
soil, air, human body etc. they reproduce by forming vast quantities of spores
Protozoa
a group of mostly motile unicellular eukaryotic organisms
Oral microbiology
the study of the microorganisms of the oral cavity and the interactions with the host.
Bacteria are present in all parts of the body including the mouth
Cocci bacteria
spherical, ovoid, or generally round
Diplococci= pairs of cocci
Streptococci= chains of cocci
Staphylococci= clusters of cocci
Tetrads= clusters of 4 cocci in a square arrangement
Bacillus bacteria
Rod shaped bacteria
Diplobacilli= pairs of bacilli
Streptobacillus= chains of bacilli
coccobacillus= an oval or short plump rod shape
Spirillum bacteria
ridgid spiral or helical shape that is often just referred to by the general shape, less
common specific variations
Spirochete bacteria
very thin, elongated and flexible spiral-shaped bacteria
Why are Spirochetes highly motile?

, due to specialized internal flagella that allow them to corkscrew through viscous
environments
- often associated with periodontal disease
Aerobic bacteria
Bacteria that require oxygen for survival
- less harmful
Anerobic bacteria
bacteria that cannot survive in the presence of oxygen.
- subgingival bacteria are more anaerobic and motile compared to supragingival
bacteria
Facultative anaerobic bacteria
bacteria that can survive with or without oxygen
Acid fast staining
used to detect mycobacterium tuberculosis
- stain red
Gram staining
difference in cell walls of bacteria
Gram-Positive Bacteria
Bacteria that have a thick peptidoglycan cell wall
- stain PURPLE
- single cell
- capable of releasing exotoxins
- less harmful
Ex: staph and strep.
Gram- Negative Bacteria
thin peptidoglycan walls
- double cell membrane
- capable of releasing both endo and exotoxins
- stains RED
- more harmful and virulent
- Ex: P. intermedia and P. Gingivalis
Healthy patients have more of what type of bacteria?
gram-positive, non- motile bacteria
Gingivitis patients have more of what type of bacteria?
gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria
Periodontitis patients have more of what type of bacteria?
gram-negative, motile bacteria
HIV
human immunodeficiency virus (AIDS virus)
- attack immune system
- transmitted through bodily fluids (blood)
Hepatisis B virus (HBV)
transmitted through bodily fluids( blood, saliva)
- Hep. B vaccine recommended for dental professionals
Hepatitis C Virus (HCV)
