Classification
Bacteria can be classified in many ways. The first classification scheme was
published in 1773 and many more have appered since.
Science of microbiology has developed other kind of classification but medically
important classification is as follows
Based on several major properties
Morphology
Biochemical reaction
staining reaction
Pathogenicity
Based on relationship of host and microorganism
DNA composition

Bacterial anatomy
• In the bacteria the outer layer or cell envelop or bacteria consist of two
things
(a) rigid cell wall
(b) underlying cytoplasmic membrane or plasma membrane:
it includes granules, ribosomes, mesosomes and circular DNA.
Some bacteria in addition to possess aditional structures such as
gelatinous material which cover it is called as capsule and when it is too
thin it is called as microcapsule.
CELL WALL:
Introduction:
most cell poseses a cell envelop consisting of cell wall and underlying
cytoplasmic membrane.
Definition:
“the tough, rigid structure which surrounds bacterial cell it is called as
cell wall”
• Thickness: 10-20nm
• Weight: 20-25% of dry weight of bacterial cell wall
Peptido-glycan Polymer (amino acids + sugars)

Unique to bacteria
Sugars; NAG & NAM
N-acetylglucosamine
N-acetymuramic acid
Amino acids cross link NAG & NAM
Made of peptidoglycan – a combination of protein and polysaccharides
Some bacteria called Gram negative bacteria have an additional layer of membrane
that contains lipopolysaccharide
- this extra layer inhibits the uptake of antibiotics – protecting the bacteria
Gram positive Vs gram
negative
Gram positive bacteria have a large peptidoglycan structure. As noted above, this
accounts for the differential staining with Gram stain. Some Gram positive
bacteria are also capable of forming spores under stressful environmental
conditions such as when there is limited availability of carbon and nitrogen.
Spores therefore allow bacteria to survive exposure to extreme conditions and
can lead to re-infection (e.g., pseudomembranous colitis fromClostridium difficle)
Gram negative bacteria have a small peptidoglycan layer but have an additional
membrane, the outer cytoplasmic membrane. This creates an additional

permeability barrier and results in the need for transport mechanisms across this
membrane.
A major component of the cytoplasmic membrane that is unique to Gram
negatives is endotoxin. This component is essential for bacterial survival.
Endotoxin has three components: the lipid, the highly conserved core
polysaccharide, and the species specific O antigen (also polysaccharide). In
contrast with the secreted exotoxins, endotoxin is cell-associated but MID 1 can
be released during cell division or cell death. The Lipid A moiety of endotoxin is
responsible for sepsis which may be fatal. Sepsis is characterized clinically by
confusion, fever, drop in blood pressure and ultimately multi-organ
failure.Endotoxin (also known as lipopolysaccharide-LPS):

Determine shape of bacteria
Strength prevents osmotic rupture
20-40% of bacteria
Help in division of bacteria
Contain receptor site
Some antibiotics effect directly: Penicillin
Cytoplasmic membrane:
Definition:
“thin semipermiable membrane which lies just beneath the cell wall that
is called as cyto plasmic membrane”
The whole bacterial cytoplasm is bound peripherally by very thin,elastic
and semipermiable cytoplasmic membrane also known as cell membrane.
It is 5-10nm in width
Electron microscope shows the presence of three layer constituting a unit
membrane structure.
Chemically the membrane consist of phospholipid with small amount of
protein. Sterol is absent except in mycoplasma.

DEMONSTRATION:
The seperation of membrane from cell wall is achived by readily in gram
negative bacteria when they are suspended in medium of high osmotic
tension.such phenomenom is called as plasmolysis
Electron microscope
Function:
Transport:
(1) Active transport:
it is site of numerous enzymes (oxidase polymerase, permease)
involved in the active transport of selective nutrients. It is impermiable to
macromolecule nd ionised substances.
(2) Passive transport:
It is act as semipermiable membrane through inward and outward
passage of water and passive trnsport of molecule lipid soluble solutes take
place by diffusion
Concentration:
it is also concentration sugar, amino acids and phosphate so that a 300-
400 fold grandient exists across osmotic barrier.

Enzymatic function:
it also contain cytochrome oxidase, enzyme of tricarboxylic acid cycle and
polymerising enzyme necessary for synthesis of cell wall
Cytoplasm
“Bacterial cytoplasm is suspension of organic and inorganic solutes in
viscous watery solution”
It is not exhibiting protoplasmic streaming and it lacks endoplasmic
reticulum or mitochondria. It contains ribosomes, mesosomes, inclusion
and vacuoles.
All the organills which cytoplasm contains is as follows:
(1) Ribosomes:
Ribosomes appear as small granules and pack the whole cytoplasm. These
are strung together on strands of mRNA to form polymers.
the code of mRNA is translated in to peptides sequence t this place.
The ribosomal particles become linked up and travels along the mRNA
strand.
Function:
Site for protein synthesis.
Polysomes:
They are the group of ribosomes linked together like beads of chain by
messanger RNA
Mesosomes:
They are vesicular, convulated or multilaminted structures formed as
invagination of plasma membrane in cytoplasm .
They are more prominent in the gram positive bacteria.
Two types of mesosomes
12. Nursing Path
www.drjayeshpatidar.blogspot.com
(a) septal mesosomes:
It is attached to bacterial chrosome nd involved in dna segregation and in
formation of cross wall during cell division.
(2) Lateral mesosomes:
They are at lateral side
Functions:
They are site of respiratory enzymes
Coordinate nuclear and cytoplasmic membrane division during binary
fission
Responsible for compartmenting DNA at sporulation
Bacterial capsule:
“ It is an outer covering of thick jelly like material that surrounds the
bacterial cell wall”
Width: 0.2 micrometer
Contains about 90% water and 2% solid
The solid constitutes may be complex polysccharide (pneumococcus
klebsiella, enterobacter) or polypeptides (anthrax bacillus) or hyaluronic
acid (streptococcus)
Demonstration:
the capsule is best seen in pathological specimens like pus, blood, sputum,
and exudates
(1) By ordinary stain (gram or acid fast) capsule can not be stained, it apper
as halo arround the stained bacterial body.
(2) In negative staining (india pink preparation), capsule appears as clear halo
around the bacterium as link can not penetrate capsule.

Immunological method: in that stained with antiserum that swallowed by
capsule so it appear as swollen under microscope so it is called as capsular
awelling reaction. E.g pneumococcus
Capsulated organism: s.pneumoniae,Bacillus anthracis, C.perfringes,
pneumobacillus, H.influenzae

SPORES:
“ spores are highly resistant dormant stage of bacteria formed in
unfavourble environmental condition such as starvation and dessication”
As spores are formed within the parent bacterial cell so they are also
called as endospores
During germination each spore give rise to only one vegetative bacteria
Exospores found in fungi(conidia) formed extracellularly from end of
parent cells.

SPOROGENESIS PROCESS:
Shape and position:
The young spore remain attached t parant cell. The precise position and
shape and relative size of spores remain constant within particular
bacteria.
Spore may be central,sub terminal or terminal
Spore formation is initiated by apperance of clear area in portion of
protoplasm near one end of bacterial cell and that protoplasm gradually
become more opaque that form forespore
The cell membrane grow inwards and undergoes infolding forming double
layered membrane structure around the core
The inner most layer of spore wall forms spore membrane in future vegetative
bacterium will develop. The spore wall synthesis a thick covering lyer cortex
and multilayered thin but tough outer layer spore coat

G: Free spore
Resistance:
Bacterial spores are resistant to ordinary boiling, heating, and
disinfectant. They can withstand boiling up to 3 hr, dry heat at 150c for 1
hr however they are destroyed by autoclaving at 121c for 15-20 min.
The highly impervious spore coat, low water content, low metabolic
activity and high concentration of calcium dipicolinate of spore make
resistant to drying and heat.
Germination:
Definition:
“ The process of conversation of spore in to vegetative cell under suitable
environment is known as germination”
There are three stages of germination
1. Activation:
The germintion of bacterial spore do not occur even when placed in
environment that favour process.
Unless first activated by one or onother agent damage the coat of spore
such as heat, abration and compound containing free sulphydryl groups.

2.Initiation:
The process of initiation is not clear, however the spore will initiate
germination in favourable condition.
Different species of bacteria recognizes different effactors as signalling a
rich medium such as L-alanine for one spesis
3. Out growth:
With the swelling of spore wall and disintegration of cortex a single germ
cell emerge after breaking open the spore coat.
The new vegetative cell consist of spore protoplast with its surrounding
wall.
Formation of vegetative cell.
