read and skip | OBLIGATE AEROBES
Gram (+):
Nocardia, B. cereus
Gram (-):
Neisseria, Pseudomonas, Bordetella, Legionella, Brucella
Acid fast:
Mycobacterium & Nocardia
Obligate aerobes needs 21% O2 | 0.03% CO2
OBLIGATE ANAEROBES
Gram (+): Clostridium
Gram (-): Bacteriodes
Obligate anaerobes: 0% O2
read and skip |FACULTATIVE ANAEROBES
Gram (+)
Staph, B. anthracis, Corynebacterium, Listeria, Actinomyces
Gram (-)
Most other gram neg
Mycoplasma (+/-)
most pathogens, ENTEROBACTERIA
Facultative anaerobes do not require O2 bu grows better O2
AEROTOLERANT grows at the same rate with or without O2
“unbothered kween”
#read and skip |MICROAEROPHILIC
Gram +: Streptococcus
Gram -: Spirochetes (TBL), Campylobacter, Helicobacter
Microaerophilic increased CO2 | decreased 5-10% O2
CAPNOPHILE
* Haemophilus

what is the principle of autoclave?
temp & psi also
biological indicator: B. stearothermophilus
principle: steam under pressure
15 psi 121C 15-30mins
autoclave for sterilizing broth and media
read and skip!!
inspissation - denatures protein-rich medium such as LJ agar
dry heat - biological indicator B. atrophaeus
filtration - heat sensitive materials
incineration - safest method
E. coli that only grows on BAP
Enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC)
which causes traveler’s diarrhea
MEMO!!!
enumerate the types of E. coli strains and their infection
EHEC 0157:H7 - most virulent serotype
enumerate the growth factor/s needed for each haemophilus sp.
enumerate the associated infection/disease in each haemophilus sp

NTK: K. kingae resist decolorization
gram (-) coccobacilli that causes malta | crimean | mediterranean | undulant fever
Brucella
Which brucella sp. is inhibited by thionine dye?
Brucella abortus
but this requires niacin or nicotinic acid for growth
enumerate the bioterrorism agents
A: Fransicella tularensis & Y. pestis
B: Brucella
(potential): C. botulinum
they both require biosafety level 3

read and skip!! runyon classification
group - classification - growth rate:
* I: Photochromogen (10-21 days)
* II: Scotochromogens (10-21)
* III: Non-photochromogens (10-21)
* IV: Rapid growers (3-7 days)
COLOR PRODUCTION (in the dark)
* I = cream/buff
* II = yellow to orange
* III = cream/buff
* IV = varying pigments
COLOR PRODUCTION after light exposure
* I = yellow to orange
* II = yellow to orange
* III = cream/buff
enumerate the runyon group 1 “Photochromogens”
remember: cream/buff | yellow to orange
enumerate the runyon group 2
“Scotochromogens”
remember: yellow to orange both
enumerate the runyon group 3 “Nonphotochromogens”
remember: cream buff both
