rods, soil living and endospore making

Some make antiniotics

B. antracis causes antrhrax

B. thuringiensis : insect pathogen - kills caterpiller and mosquito lava

M. tuberculosis : TB wiht tubercles in lungs ; led to sanitariums ( trudeau) and pasteurization

M. Leprae : leprosy( hansens disease) . Grows in cooler body parts

Deinococcus : resistant to UV/drying/mutagens

Thermus aquaticus: Enzyme used (DNA polymerase used in PCR)

Facultative , and Catalase +

S. epidermidis: normal flora and can be opportunist

S. aureus : ( hospital staph) - causes abscesses, boils bone infections

Streptococcus

Facultative and catalase -

S. pyogenes: B-hemolytic , causes childbirth fever, skin/ resp infections; " strep throat" can lead to scarlet fever, rheumatic fever, bacterial endocarditis, " flesh-eating" disease

S. Mutans causes tooth decay and plaque

long chains( filamentous)

Lives in soil ( woody smell)

Produces over 500 antibiotics

 Trepomema pallidum : syphillis; killed by drying ( called STD)

Stages of disease : chancre(sore), rash, and chronic

Borrelia burgdorferi : lyme disease, transmitted by tick

Stages of disease: Rash/flu, neurological/pain, arthritis

Rods, obligate anaerobes: endospore making in soil/intestine (most nasty exotoxin) 

C. tetani : Neutotoxin to cause spastic paralysis

C. botulinum: neurotoxin to cause flaccid paralysis ( botox)

C. perfringens : Gas gangrene in wounds, food poisoning

C. Difficile: normal flora of babies, toxin that causes watery , fould-smelling stools

Killed by antibiotic use

corynebacterium diptheria 

Exotoxin is cytotoxin  ( 1 molecule kills 1 cell)

pseudomembrane in throat

Childhood killer

Oxygenic phototroph

Cause blooms

make toxins

obligate parasite ( atp energy while very small)

C. psittaci : parrot fever

C. Trachomatis: causes veneral disease ( hard to detect) and causes eye disease
