- Bacterial growth & metabolism Binary fission Growth =
increase in # Generation time: time it takes to double the
population Pathogens with a short generation time cause rapidly
progressive disease (i.e. Vibrio cholera) Pathogens with a long
generation time cause chronic, slowly progressive disease (i.e.
Mycobacterium tuberculosis)

against growing bacteria Interrupt cell wall synthesis

- Requirements for bacterial growth Environmental factors that
influence Temperature, pH, osmotic pressure, oxygen Nutritional
factors Carbon, nitrogen, sulfur, and phosphorous Trace elements:
iron
- Slide 18
- Chemical control: choosing the right germicidal chemical What
is your goal? What type or organism are you targeting? What
environment are you treating? sterility vs. disinfection; level of
disinfection required dictates potency of chemical required
Toxicity: risk-benefit analysis Activity in presence of organic
material: most are diminished or inactivated Sensitivity of the
material to be treated Residue: toxic or corrosive vs residual
desired antimicrobial effect Cost and availability Storage and
stability: concentrate vs stock solution Environmental risk:
antimicrobials in the environment
- Slide 19
- Innate immune system 1 st line defenses: skin, mucosal
barriers, secretions - antimicrobials (lysozyme), iron- binding
proteins (transferrin) Complement system Granulocytes (neutrophils,
eosinophils, mast cells), monocytes/macrophages, dendritic
cells

Toll-like receptors NOD-like receptors RIG-like receptors
Complement system Alternative pathway Classical pathway Lectin
pathway
- Slide 22
- The Complement System Central feature = splitting of C3 C3a
& C3b Enzyme that splits C3 = C3 convertase C3 also
spontaneously degenerates to form C3a & C3b at a constant rate
Alternative pathway: C3b binds to foreign cell surface receptors
formation of C3 convertase Lectin pathway: pattern recognition
receptors = mannose binding lectins (MBLs): bind to mannose
molecules on microbial surface formation of C3 convertase Classical
pathway: antibody binds antigen = antigen-antibody complex
formation of C3 convertase (adaptive immune response)
- Slide 23
- Slide 24
- Leukocytes Phagocytes: macrophages & neutrophils Antigen
presenting cells Natural killer cells
- Slide 25
- The Acute Inflammatory Response Calor = heat: increased blood
flow to site Rumor = redness: increased blood flow Tumor =
swelling: fluid and cells accumulate Dolor = pain: pressure +
chemical mediators Functio laesa = loss of function: many possible
causes...
- Slide 26
- The acute inflammatory response
- Slide 27
- Leukocytes have to get out of the blood vessels:
recruitment

response Humoral immunity: B cells, plasma cells, antibodies:
target extracellular pathogens Cell-mediated immunity T cells,
dendritic cells antigen is inside a cell

macrophages and cytotoxic T cells Memory T cells CD8 = Cytotoxic T
lymphocytes B cells Nave Activated Mature = plasma cell (no longer
a dividing cell) Memory B cells

- What determines outcome of infection? Host defenses: functional
immune system? Age? Predisposing infection or other disease?
Injury? Pathogenicity of organism virulence factors; evasion or
invasion tactics? Infectious dose very large numbers of an organism
that is not very virulent will still be able to establish
infection; some organisms are so virulent that only a few organisms
are required to establish an infection
- Slide 38

- Vectors biological vector a vector in whose body the infecting
organism develops or multiplies before becoming infective to the
recipient individual. mechanical vector a vector which transmits an
infective organism from one host to another but which is not
essential to the life cycle of the parasite.
