What is Microbiology
• The study of micro-organisms – Bacteria (Bacteriology)– Viruses (Virology)– Parasites (Parasitology)– Fungi (Mycology)
• Human, Animals, Plants
![Page 4: Introduction to Microbiology H. GEE. MD, FRCOG Hon. Assoc. Clinical Professor University of Warwick](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649c8e5503460f94947489/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Aim
To introduce general principles in microbiology with an emphasis on bacteria and viruses
![Page 5: Introduction to Microbiology H. GEE. MD, FRCOG Hon. Assoc. Clinical Professor University of Warwick](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649c8e5503460f94947489/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Objectives• By the end of the session you should be
able to;– Distinguish between gram-positive and gram-
negative bacteria– Describe bacteria by their shape as either cocci or
rods– Name some common bacterial and viral diseases
linked to their causative organisms– Describe in broad terms, how antibiotics work on
bacteria– Describe the difference between bacteria and
viruses.

Some definitions

Virulence factors
1. Aid colonisation1. Adhesion proteins2. Entry into cells
2. Aid survival1. Immune avoidance eg.
antiphagocytic2. Immunosuppression
3. Damage host1. Toxins
4. Obtain nutrition from host

Attachment +/- Evade natural protectionand cleansing mechanisms
Entry into body
Local or general spreadEvade immediate local defences
Multiplication
Evasion of host defencesEvade immune and other defences forgrowth in the host to be completed
Shedding from body Leave bodyat a site and on a scale that ensuresspread to fresh host- transmission
Obligatory steps for infection

Relationship with humans
• We are sterile in utero• Shortly after birth colonised• Of 100000000 bacterial only 1000
are successful– Suggests highly evolved

Bacteria and Human body
• Bacteria >10x than human cells in the body (10¹ versus 10¹³)– Skin surface and in deep layers – Saliva and oral mucosa– Gastrointestinal tracts
– Genital tract• Normal microbiota or microflora
– Beneficial to human health– Opportunistic infections
• < 10% culturable• Others not part of normal microbiota
– Pathogenic– Opportunistic pathogens
