This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Bacteriology 1 Struct-Class-Replication, Gram + bacteria distinguishing characteristics of Gram + bacteria thick peptidoglycan layer, Gram + bacteria distinguishing characteristics of Gram + bacteria teichoic acid, Gram negative bacteria distinguishing characteristic of Gram - bacteria periplasmic space, bacteria reproduce via fission, teichoic acid linked w/lipid lipoteichoic acid, Gram + bacteria distinguishing characteristics of Gram + bacteria lipoteichoic acid, LPS act as an endotoxin, some bacteria surrounded by capsules: loose polysaccharide or protein layers, LPS common components core polysaccharide, called slime layer also called glycocalyx, penicillin targets transpeptidases, LPS common components lipid A, released in cell lysis, LPS distinguishing, varying component O antigen, capsules: loose polysaccharide or protein layers if loosely adherent and nonuniform density called slime layer, transpeptidases catalyze peptioglycan cross-link synthesis, teichoic acid provides structural rigidity, some bacteria have cell wall, endotoxin systemic manifestations include activation of complement system release of cytokines leukocytosis thromobocytopenia disseminated intravascular coagulation fever decreased peripheral circulation shock death, capsules: loose polysaccharide or protein layers also called glycocalyx, Gram negative bacteria distinguishing characteristic of Gram - bacteria thinner peptidoglycan layer
