  • DNA viruses (e.g., Herpes, HPV) – replicate in nucleus
  • RNA viruses (e.g., Influenza, HIV) – replicate in cytoplasm (except retroviruses)

    • | Group | Example Diseases | Key Features | |-------|----------------|---------------| | Bacteria | TB, Strep throat, UTI | Prokaryotes, cell wall, treatable with antibiotics | | Viruses | COVID-19, HIV, Flu | Acellular, require host cell, antivirals/vaccines | | Fungi | Candidiasis, Athlete's foot | Eukaryotes, spores, antifungals | | Parasites | Malaria, Giardiasis | Protozoa/helminths, complex life cycles |

    | Target | Drug Class | Example | |--------|------------|---------| | Cell wall synthesis | Beta-lactams | Penicillin, cephalosporins | | Protein synthesis (50S ribosome) | Macrolides | Azithromycin | | Protein synthesis (30S ribosome) | Aminoglycosides, Tetracyclines | Gentamicin | | DNA replication | Fluoroquinolones | Ciprofloxacin | | Folic acid synthesis | Sulfonamides | Trimethoprim-sulfa |

    Resistance mechanisms: Beta-lactamases, efflux pumps, target modification (e.g., MRSA). medical microbiology lecture notes ppt free

  • Optional virulence factors:

    • Medical microbiology studies microorganisms (bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites, prions) that cause disease in humans, including their taxonomy, structure, physiology, pathogenic mechanisms, host responses, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention.

    | Factor | Function | Example | |--------|----------|---------| | Adhesins | Attach to host cells | Pili in E. coli | | Toxins | Damage host | Exotoxins (tetanus), Endotoxin (LPS) | | Enzymes | Spread infection | Hyaluronidase, coagulase | | Immune evasion | Avoid killing | Capsule, antigenic variation | DNA viruses (e

    Medical microbiology changes rapidly. A free PPT from 2011 might still teach that H. pylori is treated with Omeprazole + Amoxicillin + Metronidazole (Old triple therapy), but current guidelines use Clarithromycin or Levofloxacin.

    Red Flags in a free PPT:

    Always cross-reference a free PPT with CDC’s current guidelines or UpToDate.
