Lecture Outline Classification of microorganisms▪ Taxonomy▪ Three domain system: Bacteria, Archaea,
Eukarya Prokaryotes▪ Bacteria▪ Archaea
Eukaryotes▪ Protozoa▪ Algae▪ Fungi▪ Helminths
3
Classification of microorgansims
4
Taxonomy
The science of classifying organisms Provides universal names for
organisms Provides a reference for identifying
organisms Initially based on morphology and
biochemical assays Now based on nucleic acid
sequencing (16S and 18S rRNA analysis)
5
Phylogeny (or systematics) The study of the evolutionary history
of organisms All Species Inventory (2001–2025)
To identify all species of life on Earth Species definition
Eukaryotes: breed among themselves Prokaryotes: > 97% homology in 16S
rRNA Cladograms used to establish
relation ship
6
Cladogram to Establish the Evolutionary Relationship of Microorganisms
7
Three domain system (Carl Woese)
8
Model of the origin of eukaryots
9
Major differences between domains (1)
10
Major differences between domains (2)
11
Important to Remember Taxonomy is the science of classification
using a hierarchical system Universal ancestor The three domains differ in presence of
a nucleus (eukarya), ether linked lipids (archaea) and use of formylmethionine as started amino acid in protein synthesis (bacteria)
Cladograms are used to establish evolutionary relationships
12
Prokaryotes
13
The Prokaryotes
14
Selected bacterial life forms Obligate intracellular bacteria Cannot proliferate outside of a host
cell Selected human pathogens
Rickettsia Chlamydia
15
Rickettsia Transmitted by ticks or lice Infects vascular endothelial cells R. rickettsii: Rocky Mountain spotted
fever

Eukaryotes
19
Fungi Eukaryotic Aerobic or facultatively anaerobic Chemoheterotrophic Most are decomposers Asexual and sexual spore formation
For Reproduction, not endurance!! Broad use of fungi
Food, food production, drugs Mycology is the study of fungi
20
Comparison of fungi and bacteria
, absorptive
21
Yeast and moldsYEASTS Unicellular Proliferate by budding
or fission Candida albicans
MOLDS Multicellular Septated and unseptated
hyphae Mass of hyphae is
mycelium Aspergillus spec.,
Rhizopus spec.
22
Dimorphic fungi Switch growth phase depending on
environmental conditions Pathogenic dimorphic fungi are yeastlike
at 37°C and moldlike at 25°C
23
Fungal diseases
Systemic mycoses: Deep within body
Subcutaneous mycoses: Beneath the skin
Cutaneous mycoses: Affect hair, skin, and nails
Superficial mycoses: Localized, e.g., hair shafts
Opportunistic mycoses: Caused by normal microbiota or environmental fungi
Note: antibiotics do not work against fungi!
24
Medically relevant fungi Yeasts
Candida: Candidiasis Cryptococcus: Meningitis
Molds Aspergillus: Lung infection in neutropenic patients Rhizopus, Mucor: in diabetes patients
Dimorphic Coccidioides: Lung infections Histoplasma: Lung infections
Dermatophytes Trichophyton, Epidermophyton: Tinea
25
Protozoa Eukaryotic Always unicellular Chemoheterotrophs Digestion in vacuoles Often complex life cycles with multiple
hosts and vectors Some produce cysts
Resistant survival forms Vegetative form is a trophozoite Reproduction
Asexual Sexual reproduction
26
Medically Important Phyla of Protozoa
Archaezoa: Trichomonas, Giardia Amaebazoa: Entamoeba Apicomplexa: Plasmodium Ciliophora: Balantidum Euglenozoa: Trypanosoma
27
Life cycle of Plasmodium vivax
28
Helminths
29
Characteristics of Helminths Eukaryotic Multicellular, organ differentiation Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Platyhelminthes (flatworms)▪ Class: Trematodes (flukes)▪ Class: Cestodes (tapeworms)
Phylum: Nematodes (roundworms) Chemoheterotrophic Multiple hosts
Intermediate host Definitive host: adult form develops, sexual
reproduction
30
31
Life Cycle of Helminths
Monoecious (hermaphroditic) Male and female reproductive systems in
one animalDioecious
Separate male and femaleEgg larva(e) adult
32
Trematodes (Flukes) Oral sucker: food uptake
Incomplete digestive tract Ventral Sucker: Attachment Mostly hermaphroditic (monoecious)
33
Life Cycle of Paragonimus westermani (Lung fluke)
34
Cestodes(Tape Worms) Sucker for
attachment No digestive tract
Food uptake by absorption
Hermaphrodites (monoecious)
Scolex, neck, proglottides
35
NematodesRoundworms
Dioecious (male, female) Complete digestive tract Caenorrhabditis elegans: model system
Necator americanus (hook worm)
36
Important to Remember Fungi
Molds (septated, unseptated), yeast, dimorphic
Sexual and asexual spores Mycoses: local or systemic impairment
of host defense Protozoa: always unicellular, often
vectors Helminths: always multicellular,
complex life cycles
37
Helminths Eukaryotic Multicellular, organ differentiation Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Platyhelminthes (flatworms)▪ Class: Trematodes (flukes)▪ Class: Cestodes (tapeworms)
Phylum: Nematodes (roundworms) Chemoheterotrophic Multiple hosts
Intermediate host Definitive host: adult form develops, sexual reproduction
