How Do Pathogenic Bacteria
Work?
Bacteria produce disease in one of two
ways:
Using cells for food: The bacteria break
down healthy cells for food, destroying tissues
Releasing toxins: The bacteria produce
a toxin (poisonous protein) that is
released into the bloodstream where it
Bacteria
A rather vocal minority (less than 1%) of
bacteria cause disease in humans, animals, and plants.
Bacteria can cause a variety of diseases:
Food Poisoning – Scarlet Fever Tuberculosis – Whooping Cough Cholera – Bacterial Meningitis Syphilis – Pneumonia
Bacteria
Bacteria have a variety of important uses:
Help make interesting food (buttermilk, yogurt, cheese, sauerkraut, pickles, and olives, etc…)
Decompose organic matter (recycle nutrients from dead organisms; break down sewage into simpler compounds)
Nitrogen fixation (chemically changes nitrogen gas, N2, into ammonia, NH3, so plants can make amino acids)
Human health (bacteria on skin help prevent infection & bacteria in gut helps digest food & make vitamins)

using either energy from the sun or chemicals in the environment

food; get food by eating other organisms or the food made by other organisms

In Class Activity: Bacteria Reproduction You went to Applebee’s and you order an appetizer sampler. There is some leftover chicken tenders from
an earlier meal ordered at 12:00pm sitting on the counter, so the cook adds it to your plate and serves it
to you. You receive your order at 8:00pm. The next day you realize that you have food poisoning.
48 million people get food poisoning 128,000 get hospitalized
In Class Activity: Bacteria Reproduction
Bacteria reproduces best with
time, food, water/moisture and warmth.
One bacterium splits every 20
minutes. Calculate and graph how many bacteria were
present on your meal after 8 hours.

Viruses
Virus-tiny nonliving things that can enter a
living cell and reproduce inside the cell
Viruses are not living things because viruses are
not made of cells. Viruses also cannot make or use food. Viruses act like parasites.
Viruses are “biological entities” containing
either DNA or RNA that require another cell to survive.
Viruses seem to exist only to make more
Viruses
Viruses can cause disease in humans, animals, plants,
and even bacteria!
Viruses can cause a variety of diseases:
Common cold – Polio Ebola -- Smallpox
Hepatitis A, B & C – Influenza Herpes – Mumps

Viral Structure
All viruses have the same basic structure:
Virus relationship
Parasite: an organism that lives on or in a
host organism, causing it harm
Host: an organism that supplies energy to a
virus or another organism
**Almost all viruses kill the host cells in which they
How Do Viruses Work?
In order to replicate and make copies of itself,
viruses need a host cell. Any living cell can become a host cell (human, animal, plant, and even bacterial cells!)
Without a host cell, viruses cannot function
(ex. are harmless!)
Although any cell can theoretically become a host
cell, specific viruses will only infect specific cells
How Do Viruses Work?
Attach: The capsid of the virus binds to receptorproteins on the surface of a host cell, tricking the host cell into thinking it’s not a foreign invader.
Inject: The virus then injects its genetic material (DNA
or RNA) into the host cell.
Assemble: The viral genes are expressed, turning the
host cell into a virus-making factory.
Repeat: The host cell eventually bursts, releasing the
A virus’s genetic material takes over any of the
cell’s functions. It instructs the cell to produce the virus’s proteins and genetic material. These proteins & genetic material then assemble into new viruses
Active virus- the virus multiplies as soon it
enters the cell
Hidden virus- the virus may stay inactive for
years, when conditions are right, they can suddenly become active
What is the difference
between an active and hidden
virus?
• The genetic material of a hidden virus can
“hide” inside of the cell.
• It is undetected or hidden so the cell can not
attack the virus!
• You can NEVER get rid of a hidden virus…

Antibiotics
Antibiotics- a chemical that kills bacteria without harming
a person
Antibiotics can only be used to treat bacterial
infections! Currently, no medications can cure viral infections.
Target specific structures on bacteria to kill them.
First made from a fungus (penicillin), now most are
made artificially.
Unfortunately, antibiotic resistance (where the antibiotic
doesn’t kill the target bacteria anymore) is becoming a
Antivirals
Antivirals can only be used to treat certain viral
infections!
Does not “kill” or disarm the virus permanently; only
shortens symptoms by 1-2 days.
Usually only prescribed to patients with life threatening
symptoms or those that have a greater chance of
developing complications (because of their age or they have a high-risk medical condition).
Just like antibiotics, there is evidence of antiviral
Vaccination
Vaccine- causes the body to produce chemicals that
destroy certain viruses or bacteria
Vaccines can only be used to prevent infections
(both viral and bacterial) from leading to disease.
“Trick” your immune system to make antibodies that
destroy foreign “bodies” or particles (such as
bacteria and viruses). Your body remembers how to make these antibodies when the real thing invades.

Health
Viruses, Bacteria, & Your
Health
Infectious Disease- an illness that passes
from one organism to another spread
through:
• Contact with an infected person • A contaminated object
• An infected animal
• Disease-causing viruses or bacteria infect a
person by entering breaks in the skin.
• Viruses and bacteria can live in food, soil, &
water and can be breathed in and swallowed
• Touching objects handled by an infected
person can spread infectious diseases.
(ex. Drinking from the same cup spreads a cup)
• Animal bites can spread disease
• Why should you care about learning
