The three types of antigens that are used to serotype enteric bacteria. - O-outer membrane K- capsular antigen H- flagella Cause most nosocomial infections. General characteristics of a coliform. - -Rapidly ferment lactose. -Part of normal microbiota. -May be opportunistic. -Aerobic or facultatively anaerobic. -Found in soil and plants. -Presence in water = impure water and poor sewage treatment. Brucella melitensis - -CDC select agent. -Causes brucellosis in people= bang's dis...

Obligate halophiles - High osmotic pressure aka lots of salt like the great salt lake Facultative halophiles - Type that causes acne can be in salty also known as osmolaric but not nessesary Neutrophiles - Most bacteria Protozoa and pathogens like neutral ph rang 6.5-7.5 Acidophiles - Really acidic as low as 0 pH Alkalineophiles - Grow best in basic range up to 11.5 ex cholera Thermophiles - Higher temperatures above 45C ex hot springs Hyperthermophiles - Hottest 80C and above Mesophiles...

Define and describe the physical, chemical, and cellular components of the innate immune response. - Physical factors are barriers to entry or processes that remove microbes from the body's surface The epidermis consists of layers of tightly packed epithelial cells that are periodically shed. (makes up dust) That it is dry makes it inhospitable to microbes. Cebum- unsat fatty acids; inhibit growth of persperation Chemical factors are substances made by the body that inhibit microbial gr...
