Nutrition – Need water, carbon,
nitrogen and inorganic salts• Phototrophs - Derive energy from sunlight
• Chemotrophs - Obtain energy from chemicals
• Autotrophs - Able to utilize atmospheric
carbon dioxide and nitrogen
• Heterotrophs - Depends on preformed organic
compounds

• Oxygen requirement
– Aerobic – Anaerobic
– Some need carbon dioxide
• Temperature
– Usually 25-40oC, Normal incubation 35-
37oC
– Some can live in extreme temperatures
• Moisture• Light

Bacterial growth curveLag phase - Prepare for
multiplication
Log phase – Multiplication
Doubling time - Constant
for a given strain. Eg; 13
min for V cholera, 24 h for M tuberculosis
Stationary phase -
Multiplication stops due to
depletion of nutrients and
accumulation of toxic
substances
Decline phase - Population
decreases due to cell death

Culture in artificial media
• Most can be cultured in artificial media
• M leprae, T pallidum can not be cultured
• Culture media depends on the species• Growth environment depends on the
species
• After 20- 30 divisions, form visiblecolonies

Survival outside host
Why do we need to know?1. Transmission of infective agents
• Food
• Sewage / water sources• Air
• Soil
2. Sterile items used in treatment
3. Health care facilities
4. Survival in environment

Survival within host
Ability to avoid or overcome phagocytes – Are in areas inaccessible to phagocytes
– Inhibit phagocyte chemotaxis (streptococcal streptolysin)
– Avoid provoking inflammatory response
– Hide antigenic surface with ‘self’ products
– Inhibit engulfment by phagocyte – (Surface components
of bacteria important for this)

Survival within cells (intracellular bacteria) – Invade non phagocytic cells and survive within them
– Survive within phagocytic cells
• Inhibit fusion of phagocytic lysosome
• Survive within phagolysosome• Escape from phagosome
Survival within host…
Kill or damage phagocytes
Killing phagocytes before ingestionOrganism secretes substances which destroy the phagocyte
Killing phagocytes after ingestionMechanisms not fully understood

Summary - Microbes
• Grow and survive within and outside the host
• Can be cultured in the lab for identification – Treatment
• Disseminate through various ways
