  1. Human Bacterial Diseases Bad Bacteria

  2. Who do they affect? • Bacteria cause half of all human diseases • Bacteria are carried in air, food, water, and can invade wounds

  3. How are they identified? • Bacteria are classified by shapes – spheres, rods, and spirals. • Bacteria cell walls are made up of different arrangements of sugars and amino acids and react differently to gram stains • Gram + stain purple and Gram – stain pink

  4. Streptococcus mutans • Causes tooth decay • Bacteria lives in mouth • Destroys enamel • Causes toothache/loss • Area removed and filled

  5. Group A beta-hemolytic Streptococcus • Causes strep throat • Symptoms: fever, sore throat, swollen neck glands • Inhaled or ingested • Treated with antibiotics

  6. Mycobacterium tuberculosis • Causes tuberculosis • Symptoms: fatigue, fever, night sweats, cough, weight loss, chest pains • Inhaled • Treated with antibiotics

  7. Clostridium tetani • Causes tetanus • Symptoms: stiff jaw, muscle spasms, paralysis • Thru punctures and wounds • Clean wounds/antibiotics/vaccine

  8. Borrelia burdorferi • Causes Lyme disease • Symptoms: site rash, chills, body aches, joint swelling • Thru tick bites • Treated with antibiotics

  9. Streptococcus pneumoniae • Causes pneumonia • Symptoms: cough, fever, weight loss, chest pain • Inhaled • Treated with antibiotics

  10. Neissereia gonorrhoeae • Causes gonorrhea • Symptoms: open sores and painful urination • Thru sexual contact • Treated with antibiotics

  11. Treponema pallidum • Causes syphilis • Symptoms: open sores, painful urination, rash, aches/pains, damage to brain and spinal cord • Thru sexual contact • Treated with antibiotics

  12. Bacillus anthracis • Causes anthrax • Symptoms: rash, difficulty breathing and seeing • Thru inhalation, ingestion, cuts/wounds • Treated with antibiotics

  13. Vibrio cholerae • Causes cholera • Symptoms: diarrhea, vomiting, dehydration • Thru drinking contaminated water • Treated with antibiotics

  14. Good Bacteria

  15. Friendly Intestinal Bacteria are called Probiotics • They help break down toxins and help build immunity • Mutualism

  16. Lactobacillus (group) • Breaks down food, absorbs nutrients, make vitamins, helps prevents bad bacteria

  17. Bifodobacteria • Another Probiotic – same benefits as Lactobacillus

  18. Rhizobia Bacteria • Converts Nitrogen into forms that Plants can use to make Proteins

  19. Staphlococcus hominis • Just 1 of the 180 species of friendly skin bacteria • It helps prevent bad Staph from attaching to your skin cells

  20. Lactic bacteria is used to cure Salami and Pepperoni
