Koch’s postulates1. The causative (etiological) agent must be
present in all affected organisms– but absent in healthy individuals
1. The agent must be capable of being isolated and cultured in pure form
2. When the cultured agent is introduced to a healthy organism,
– the same disease must occur1. The same causative agent must be isolated
again from the affected host

Morphological study of bacteria
• Staining• Motility test

StainingTheoretical approach
• Types
• Laboratory procedures
• findings of – Gram’s– Zeihl-neelsen (Z-N)– Albert’s staining

Types of Staining
• Simple Staining
• Differential Staining
• Special Staining

Types of Staining
Simple Staining
• using a single dye– methylene blue– Leishman
![Page 74: 1 introduction bacterial cells](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081323/5a6d2d127f8b9ac7418b5441/html5/thumbnails/74.jpg)
Types of Staining
Differential Staining
• using primary and counter dye
• performing a step of decolourisation
• to see differential characters of bacteria– Gram’s stain– Ziehl-Neelsen stain
– Albert stain

Types of Staining
Special Staining
• to see unique property of particular bacteria– Fluorescense stain

Gram’s staining
• Named according to inventor Christian Gram• Based on the property of bacterial cell envelope• stained at first by a primary dye & mordanted• Decolorized by acetone or alcohol• Counter stain is added• Gram positive bacteria
– can resist decolourisation and retain the primary dye
• Gram negative bacteria – can not resist decolourisation and take the counter
dye

Gram Positive Bacteria
• Thick layer of Peptidoglycan• Negatively charged teichoic acid on surface• Polysaccharide
![Page 78: 1 introduction bacterial cells](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081323/5a6d2d127f8b9ac7418b5441/html5/thumbnails/78.jpg)
Gram Negative Bacteria
• Cell wall much more complex• Thin peptidoglycan layer, filled and surrounded
with periplasm (protein rich gel-like fluid)
• Unique outer membrane on top– Bilayer, yet outer layer is LPS layer (lipid A
and O specific polysaccharide) – LPS acts as endotoxin (lipid A)
• Gram neg. bacteria are less sensitive to medications because outer membrane acts as additional barrier.

Atypical cell envelope
• Acid-fast and related bacteria – Mycobacteria– Nocardia
• Presence of Mycolic acids – long, branch chained fatty acids

Gram un-stainable cell wall
• Atypical peptidoglycan• Spirochaetes, Mycobacterium,
– High lipid content
– Tight fluid mosaic
