  13. STRUCTUREOF BACTERIA • Thousand times bigger than a virus • Unicellular [living] • Cell is simpler than other living organisms • Can carry out all the functions of living organisms M. Paine

  14. STRUCTURE OF BACTERIA M. Paine • Rigid cell wall made of polysaccharides and amino acids [protection] • Plasma membrane • Serves as a mitochondrion, endoplasmic reticulum and sometimes a chloroplast • Controls entry and exit of substances

  15. STRUCTURE OF BACTERIA • Prokaryotes • Do not have a true nucleus • No nuclear membrane • DNA is combined with histone ( a protein) as in eukaryotes • Single chromosome consists of a closed loop • Many have a waxy capsule for protection • Especially disease causing bacteria • Some have flagella for locomotion M. Paine

  16. STRUCTURE OF A BACTERIAL CELL Chromosome Pilus (fimbria) Ribosome Storage granule Flagellum Capsule or Slime layer Plasmid Cell Wall Cytoplasm Plasma Membrane M. Paine

  17. SHAPES OF BACTERIA MAKE NOTE • Spherical : cocci • Rod shaped: bacilli • Spiral shaped: spiralla • Comma shaped: vibrios M. Paine

  20. Shapes of Bacteria • Coccus • Chain = Streptoccus • Cluster = Staphylococcus • Bacillus • Chain = Streptobacillus • Coccobacillus • Vibrio = curved • Spirillum • Spirochete • Square • Star M. Paine

  23. A BACTERIAL DISEASE • TUBERCULOSIS M. Paine

  24. CHRONIC BACTERIAL INFECTION • AFFECTS ALL ORGANS OF THE BODY • MAINLY THE LUNGS M. Paine

  25. M. Paine

  26. Mycobacterium tuberculosis • CAUSED BY: • TB bacillus • Covered with a waxy coat • Protection from drying out • Heat • Bodies immune system • Can remain alive for a long time • Can survive in dust particles M. Paine

  27. CHARACTERISTICS • Bacteria are the oldest and most abundant organisms living on the Earth. • Thrive in a variety of environments • Bacteria are mostly useful but can cause diseases • Can only be seen under a microscope • Thousand times bigger than a virus • Occur in diverse shapes and types M. Paine

  28. MORE CHARACTERISTICS • The DNA of bacteria is made of a single chromosome. • In favourable conditions bacteria reproduce asexually by binary fission • In unfavourable conditions (high temperatures, dryness) bacteria form spores with a thick protective coat M. Paine

  29. SIZE OF BACTERIA • Unit for measurement : Micron or micrometer,μm: • 1μm = 10 -3 mm • Size: Varies with kinds of bacteria, and also related to their age and external environment. • Cocci: sphere, 1μm • Bacilli: rods , 0.5-1 μm in width -3 μm in length • Spiral bacteria: 1~3 μm in length and 0.3-0.6 μm in width M. Paine

  30. BINARY FISSION • FAVOURABLE CONDITIONS • Rapid [once every 20 minutes] • Split into two [binary fission] • DNA duplicates itself • Cytoplasm is divided by the cell wall growing inwards • Each of the new cells contains the same genetic information as the parent cell • Ideal conditions = warmth, moisture, food, oxygen, lack of toxins and correct pH M. Paine

  31. Binary Fission M. Paine

  32. Rapid Generation Times 1cell to 2 million cells in 7 hours! Only a build up of waste or depletion of food will stop growth M. Paine

  33. REPRODUCTION UNDER UNFAVOURABLE CONDITIONS • From a thick protective coat around themselves = spore • Bacterium becomes dormant inside the spore • Can withstand unfavourable conditions e.g. dryness, high temperatures • Spore splits open when conditions become better to release the bacterium • Followed by normal rapid binary fission M. Paine

  34. HOW SERIOUS • 1993 world health organisation proclaimed the tuberculosis pandemic was a global emergency • Pandemic = global epidemic with the possibility of all people benig affected • 2002 highest mortality rate was in africa M. Paine

  35. HOW IS TB SPREAD • Spread in moisture droplets • From an infected to an uninfected person • TB bacillis is spread through the air when an infected people cough, sneeze, talk or spit • Uninfected person breathes in the moisture droplets containing the bacillus • Bacilli multiply in their air sacs M. Paine

  36. AFTER INFECTION • STRONG IMMUNE SYSTEM • Infection is contained walled off in a fibrous capsule • Lie dormant for years • No symptoms • WEAK IMMUNE SYSTEM • Bacilli multiply • Individual gets ill with pulmonary TB M. Paine

  37. EFFECTS OF TB [SYMPTOMS] • Individual does not feel well • Persistent cough [coughing up blood] • Weight loss • Fevers • Night sweats • Tired and weak • Patient could lose earnings while ill • Stigma attached to this disease • Untreated it is easily spread M. Paine

  38. MANAGEMENT BY PERSON • TB can be cured • Treated with an aggressive antibiotic regime called DOTS • Directly Observed Therapy, Short Course • Patients are carefully monitored to make sure that they take their full course of antibiotics • Watched as they swallow the tablets! • Lasts for six months • They will not be able to infect others within days of starting treatment M. Paine

  39. MANAGEMENT OF TB BY SOCIETY • PREVENT THE SPREAD OF TB • Screen people at risk • Treat infected patients quickly • Solve overcrowding and malnutrition • SUPPLY GOOD QUALITY INFORMATION • Eg healthy diets + ways to decrease spreading TB • PROVIDE WELL EDUCTAED HEALTH CARE WORKERS • Persuade patients to take drugs • IMMUNISATION AGAINST TB • BCG vaccine given soon after birth M. Paine

  40. PROBLEM:MUTI- DRUG RESISTANT TB • Many patients stop taking the medication once they start feeling better • TB bacillus then develops resistance to the drugs the next time they are ill with TB and on treatment again • Called multi- drug resistant TB M. Paine

  41. PREVENTION • Most children are immunised against TB soon after birth with the BCG vaccine • Repeated once or twice before going to school • Poverty and the underlying social problems of overcrowding and malnutrition need to be addressed: Overcrowding increases the chance of the TB bacillus spreading Malnutrition weakens the immune system M. Paine

  42. RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN HIV AND TB • HIV weakens the immune system • HIV positive people infected with TB are very likely to become sick • TB is the leading cause of death among people who are HIV-positive • IN AFRICA, HIV IS THE MAIN REASON WHY THE INCIDENCE OF TB HAS INCREASED OVER THE LAST 10 YEARS M. Paine

  43. Good Bacteria • Food production (cheeses , yogurt , alcohol , etc) • Making medicines (insulin) • Recycling M. Paine

  44. Bad Bacteria • Are pathogenic (cause disease) • Most are parasitic which cause infections. • Antibiotics are used to treat these infections. An antibiotic is a chemical agent produced by one organism that is harmful to another organism. • One of the most popular antibiotics is Penicillin which comes from a fungus. It destroys the bacteria’s cell wall & therefore causes the cell membrane to break up due to the hypotonic environment. M. Paine
