Microorganisms are organisms that are too small to be seen with the unaided eye. Some are friends others are foes affect our daily lives and our environment. Knowledge of them is important to healthcare professionals.

CHAPTER 1
MICROBIOLOGY: THE SCIENCE
BURTON’S
FOR THE HEALTH SCIENCES
EIGHTH EDITION
PowerPoint® Lecture Slide Presentation prepared by Mignonette S. Hipolito, CAS-BIO
• Acellular • Consist of DNA or RNA core • Core is surrounded by a protein coat • Coat may be enclosed in a lipid envelope • Viruses are replicated only when they are in a living host cell
• Bacteria were once classified as plants which gave
rise to use of the term flora for microbes. • This term has been replaced by microbiota. • Microbes normally present in and on the human body are called normal microbiota.
• Decomposers or saprophytes • Decompose organic waste • Saprophytes –live on dead or decaying matter • Aid in fertilization, returns inorganic nutrients to the soil
• Food chain. Tiny living organisms such as bacteria, algae,
microscopic aquatic plants (e.g. phytoplankton), and microscopic aquatic animals (e.g. zooplankton) are eaten by larger animals, which in turn are eaten by still larger animals, etc., until an animal in the chain is consumed by a human.
• Infectious disease – pathogen colonizes body and subsequently causes disease • Microbial intoxication – when a person ingests toxin (poisonous substance) produced by a microorganism
• Fossils of primitive microorganisms 3.5B yrs ago (as
many as 11 diff types) found in ancient rock formations in NW Australia • Archaeans and Cyanobacteria – candidates for the first microorganisms on earth
Anton van Leeuwenhoek (1632 – 1723) • First person to see live bacteria and protozoa • Described live microorganisms that he observed in teeth scrapings, rain water, and peppercorn infusions.
• French chemist • Made many significant contributions • Fermentation process • Disproved Theory of Spontaneous Generation • “Aerobes” and “Anaerobes” • Pasteurization • Silkworm disease • Germ Theory of disease • Changes in hospital practices • Vaccines
• German physician • Germ theory of disease • Koch’s Postulates • Methods of fixing, staining and photographing bacteria • Methods of bacterial culture (with J.R. Petri and Frau Hess) • Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Vibrio cholerae • Tuberculin protein- used in TB skin test
• Exceptions: • Obligate intracellular pathogens (viruses, rickettsias and chlamydias) • Fastidious microorganisms • Species-specific pathogens • Synergistic infection (ex. ANUG and bacterial vaginosis) • Effects of in vitro culture • Not all diseases are caused by microorganisms
Naming and Classifying Microorganisms • Linnaeus established the system of scientific nomenclature. • Each organism has two names: the genus and specific epithet.
• After the first use, scientific names may be abbreviated
with the first letter of the genus and the specific epithet: • Staphylococcus aureus and Esherichia coli are found in the human body. S. aureus is on skin and E. coli, in the large intestine.
