Lecture Three: Microbiology
Bacteriology
Learning objectives
By the end of the lecture, we should be able to:
• Explain the process of gram staining
• Classify bacteria into gram positive and
negatives
• List the diseases caused by gram positive
microbes
• Pathogenesis of these microbes
• Antibiotic treatment of these microbes
Gram staining
• Gram staining is a lab procedure
used to differentiate two large groups
of bacteria based on their different
cell wall constituents.
• The Gram stain procedure
distinguishes between Gram positive
and Gram negative groups by
colouring these cells red or violet.
Gram staining
After staining
• Bacteria can be grouped into
• Gram positive
• Gram negative.

cells, in pairs, or more frequently, in clusters that
resemble a bunch of grapes.
• The genus name Staphylococcus is derived from
Greek terms (staphyle and kokkos) that mean "a
bunch of grapes,.

species belonging to the
genus Staphylococcus.

patients with compromised immune
systems are at risk of developing infection.

infections, particularly associated with
foreign body infections.

epidermidis is a frequent contaminant of
specimens sent to the diagnostic laboratory.

is used to treat an infection.

infections.
Gram positive bacteria cocci
1. staphylococcus
Pathogenesis of staphylococcus
They cause disease by
1. Binding (colonization) to blood cells
causing haemolysis
2. They also bind to body tissues
3. They release toxin that damages the
body tissues.
4. Has a protein inhibit phagocytosis

introduction
The genus Streptococcus is a group
of Gram-positive bacteria.
Various streptococci are important
ecologically as part of the normal
microbial flora of humans.
Some can also cause diseases that
range from acute or even chronic.
