This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Answers_Adhere, adhesive tip has a shape corresponding to that of specific glycoprotein or glycolipid receptors on a host cell to resist flushing examples Type IV pili enable a twitching motility. Extension and retraction of these pili allows the bacterium to drag itself along a solid surface., biofilm production description Bacterial populations adhering to host cells and embedded in a common capsular mass, biofilms are functional, interacting, and growing bacterial communities., adhesive tip has a shape corresponding to that of specific glycoprotein or glycolipid receptors on a host cell to resist flushing examples Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Neisseria meningitidis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, The ability to adhere to host cells and resist physical removal often a result of Quorum Sensing, pili (fimbriae) functions adhesive tip has a shape corresponding to that of specific glycoprotein or glycolipid receptors on a host cell to resist flushing, Bacterial populations adhering to host cells and embedded in a common capsular mass, biofilms are functional, interacting, and growing bacterial communities. examples Streptococcus mutans, Streptococcus sobrinus Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus species, enable bacteria to adhere to host cells, colonize, and resist physical removal mechanisms biofilm production, biofilm production functions adhere to environmental surfaces and resist flushing, Autoinducer/receptor complexes are able to bind to DNA promoters and activate the transcription of quorum sensing-controlled genes. benefit Individual bacteria within a group are able to benefit from the activity of the entire group., biofilm production functions live in close association and communicate with other bacteria in the biofilm, enable bacteria to adhere to host cells, colonize, and resist physical removal mechanisms pili (fimbriae), enable bacteria to adhere to host cells, colonize, and resist physical removal mechanisms cell wall adhesins, pili (fimbriae) functions Type IV pili enable a twitching motility. Extension and retraction of these pili allows the bacterium to drag itself along a solid surface., The ability to adhere to host cells and resist physical removal advantage enable bacteria to adhere to host cells, colonize, and resist physical removal, biofilm production functions resist attack by antibiotics, Autoinducers produced by one bacterium cross the membrane of another and bind to receptors in its cytoplasm. then Autoinducer/receptor complexes are able to bind to DNA promoters and activate the transcription of quorum sensing-controlled genes., pili (fimbriae) functions the same bacterium may switch the adhesive tips of the pili in order to adhere to different types of cells, Quorum Sensing definition The production, release, and community-wide sensing of molecules called autoinducers that modulate gene expression in response to the density of a bacterial population, The production, release, and community-wide sensing of molecules called autoinducers that modulate gene expression in response to the density of a bacterial population process Autoinducers produced by one bacterium cross the membrane of another and bind to receptors in its cytoplasm., biofilm production functions resist phagocytosis and attack by the body's complement pathways.
