Document Summary

May need to know common drugs or resistance. Cysts of parasites similar to spore form of bacteria. E. g. : if environment is becoming unfavourable, bacteria can change from a regular, multiplying form to its dormant spore form, which has a thick wall structure that offers protection. 2nd midterm: 30 mc, 10 sa (worth 30 marks) -> 1 or 2 word answers. Parasite lecture: study notes (supplement with slides for info not from the study package) There are 2 genus that belong to this group: bacillus and clostridium. Aerobic organism (requires oxygen for growth) which is the main difference between clostridium which is anaerobic. Can make spores which allow it to become resistant to disinfectants, uv light, etc. When the environment becomes favourable, it will change back into its vegetative form and can start multiplying again. These are known to make very powerful exotoxins which are mainly responsible for the disease symptoms. E. g. : spore forming and non-spore forming rods.
