Review basic microbiology Prokaryotic cells Single celled organisms No true nucleus Bacteria are prokaryotic Elsevier items and derived items © 2006 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc. Review basic microbiology Eukaryotic cells Multicelled organisms Have a true nucleus Humans are eukaryotic Elsevier items and derived items © 2006 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc. Prokaryotic Two main structural differences: Bacteria have Cell walls Smaller size ribosomes Many antibiotics target cell wall or ribosome Elsevier items and derived items © 2006 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc. Antibiotic may Kill or suppress microbe Have a broad or narrow spectrum of activity But still acts in one of 5 major ways Elsevier items and derived items © 2006 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc. Objective 3 Inhibit cell wall synthesis Prevent formation Make it weak Elsevier items and derived items © 2006 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.

Objective 4 Discuss antibiotic resistance. Elsevier items and derived items © 2006 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc. Objective 4 Define the term Ability of some strains of pathogenic microbes to prevent or overcome the activity of antimicrobial agents. Elsevier items and derived items © 2006 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc. Presents a major problem Few truly new antibiotics in the last 15 years Second, third, fourth generation of same antibiotic Microbes have mutated faster than antibiotics have developed Elsevier items and derived items © 2006 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.
