Anti-bacterial agents
Do you have links to these sources? I am hoping to find a way that is more digital-accessibility friendly to put this information on the page 🙂 (In the short term, this is fine.) Penicillin beta-lactams Cephalosporin Other antibiotics Antituberculars Links to related session: 5/4 Antibiotics – Ribosomal/Protein Synthesis 6/5 Antibiotics – Miscellaneous
Anaerobic Bacteria
Medically Relevant This is a list of medically relevant bacteria. See the associated entry within the dendritics for gram-positive and gram-negative for details. I didn’t find the two below that are not in blue. Clostridia Actinomyces Bacteroides Propionibacterium/Cutibacterium acnes Lactobacillus Links related to this section 6/9 Medically Relevant Anaerobes
Atypical
These bacteria do not conform to the typical gram-positive and gram-negative distinctions, largely due to differences in their cell walls. Their ecologic niche, types of diseases, and immune response are resultantly different as well. Spirochetes Spiral shaped bacteria. While cell wall structures are technically similar to gram-negative bacteria, most are far too thin to be […]
Gram-negative
Gram Negative Bacterial Map (add using Posts widget) Gram-negative Cocci (GNCs): Diplococci Neisseria Small intracellular gram-negative diplococci. Neisseria meningitidis Neisseria meningitidis is gram-negative diplococci that colonizes human nasopharynx. It encapsulated, which distinguishes it from other Neisseria spp and provides an anti-phagocytic protection. After colonizing nasopharynx, organism can evade immune response and reach meninges via bloodstream. […]
Gram-positive
Gram-Positive Cocci (GPCs) Staphylococci Staphylococcus aureus Beta-hemolytic, golden colored colonies on blood agar. One of the most common causes of infections in humans. The main habitat is the anterior nares in humans and as a colonizer of human skin. S. aureus has several important toxins that facilitate disease, including toxic-shock superantigens. S. aureus can cause […]
