6. 1.Provide a first line of defense against microbial pathogens
through “bacterial interference”.
interference may involve competition for receptors or
binding sites on host cells, competition for nutrients.
7.
8. 2. Assist in digestion: They produce vitamin B and vitamin K
in intestine.
3.play a role in toxin degradation
4.The oral flora contribute to immunity by inducing low
levels of circulating and secretory antibodies that may cross
react with pathogens.
.
9. 5. the microbiota affect carcinogenesis in three broad ways:
(i) altering the balance of tumor cell proliferation and
death.
(ii) regulating immune system function .
(iii) influencing metabolism of host-produced factors, foods
and pharmaceuticals
such as : Lactobacillus and Bifidobacteria, are known to
prevent tumor formation
10. They can cause disease in the
following:
a) When individuals become
immunocompromised.
b) When they change their usual
anatomic location.
11. 1. Mutualistic
Both organisms benefit – “mutually beneficial”
Exp: Escherichia coli
Synthesizes Vitamin K & B complex Vitamins
In return, we provide a warm, moist nutrient rich
environment for E. coli.
2. Commensalistic
One organism benefits, the other is neither helped nor
harmed
12. 3. Opportunistic
Under normal conditions, microbe does not cause
disease, but if conditions become conducive , it can
cause disease.
Escherichia coli - normally in our digestive tract where
tract where it causes no problems, but if it gets into the
urinary tract it can become pathogenic.
Staphylococcus aureus – commonly found in the upper
the upper respiratory tract, but if it gets into a wound
or a burn it can become pathogenic.
13. 1. Resident Flora
Microbes that are always present
2. Transient Flora
Microbes that live in or on your body for a period of time
(hours, days, weeks, months) then move on or die off
14. Remain in the body for only hours to months before
disappearing
Found in the same regions as resident microbiota
Cannot persist in the body…because…
Competition from other microorganisms
Elimination by the body’s defenses cells
Chemical or physical changes in the body
15. If the resident microbiota is disturbed, transient
microorganisms may colonize, proliferate, and produce
disease.
16. Most members of the normal bacterial flora prefer to
colonize certain tissues and not others. This "tissue
specificity" is usually due to properties of both the host
and the bacterium.
Usually, specific bacteria colonize specific tissues by one
or another of these mechanisms:
1. Tissue tropism
2. Specific adherence
3. Biofilm formation
17. is the bacterial preference for certain tissues for
growth. One explanation for tissue tropism is that the host provides
essential nutrients and growth factors for the bacterium, in addition
to suitable oxygen, pH, and temperature for growth.
Lactobacillus acidophilus, informally known as "Doderlein's bacillus" colonizes the vagina
because glycogen is produced which provides the bacteria with a source of sugar that they
ferment to lactic acid.
18. Most bacteria can colonize in specific tissue
because they can adhere to that tissue in a specific manner that
involves chemical interactions between bacterial surface components
and host cell molecular receptors. The bacterial components are
molecular parts of their capsules, fimbriae, or cell walls. The
receptors on human cells are usually glycoprotein molecules located
on the host cell.
19. Bacterium Bacterial adhesin Attachment site
Streptococcus pyogenes Cell-bound protein (M-
protein)
Pharyngeal epithelium
Streptococcus mutans Cell- bound protein (Glycosyl
transferase)
Pellicle of tooth
Streptococcus salivarius Lipoteichoic acid Buccal epithelium of tongue
Bordetella pertussis Fimbriae ("filamentous
hemagglutinin")
Respiratory epithelium
Vibrio cholerae N-methylphenylalanine pili Intestinal epithelium
Mycoplasma Membrane protein Respiratory epithelium
20. Some of the indigenous bacteria are able to construct biofilms on a
tissue surface, or they are able to colonize a biofilm built by another
bacterial species.
Biofilms usually occur when one bacterial species attaches
specifically or non specifically to a surface, and then secretes
carbohydrate slime that imbeds the bacteria and attracts other
microbes to the biofilm for protection or nutritional advantages.
21.
22. In a healthy human, the internal
tissues such as:
blood
brain
muscle
crebro spinal fluid (c.sf.)
are normally free of
microorganisms.
25. Staphylococcus epidermidis
Staphylococcus aureus (in small numbers)
Micrococcus species
α-Hemolytic and non hemolytic streptococci
(eg, Streptococcus mitis)
Corynebacterium species
Propionibacterium species
Peptostreptococcus species
Acinetobacter species

aeruginosa, etc)
26. Diphtheroids , nonpathogenic Neisseria species, α-
hemolytic streptococci; S epidermidis, non hemolytic streptococci,
anaerobes (too many species to list) Prevotella species, anaerobic

Peptostreptococcus species
30. The conjunctiva harbors few or no organisms.
Haemophilus and Staphylococcus are among the genera most often
genera most often detected.
31. For example, streptococci of the viridans group are the most common
resident organisms of the upper respiratory tract. If large numbers of
them are introduced into the bloodstream (eg, after tooth extraction
or oral surgery), they may settle on deformed or prosthetic heart
valves and produce infective endocarditis.
32. are the most common resident bacteria of the large intestine
quite harmless in that location. However, if introduced into the
peritoneal cavity or into pelvic tissues along with other bacteria
result of trauma, they cause suppuration and bacteremia
33. Some genera of bacteria, such as : Bacteroides and Clostridium ,
have been associated with an increase in tumor growth rate.
34.
35. Fungi, in particular yeasts , are present in the human gut.
The best-studied of these are candida species due to their ability to
become pathogenic in immunocompromised and even in healthy
hosts Yeasts are also present on the skin , such as malassezia species,
where they consume oils secreted from the sebaceous gland.
36. Viruses, especially bacterial viruses (bacteriophages), colonize
various body sites. These colonized sites include the
skin, gut, lungs, and oral cavity. Virus communities have been
associated with some diseases, and do not simply reflect the
bacterial communities.
37. *Normal flora (microbiota) colonize in human bodies since birth until death , some
species are benefit to human such as : defense against pathogens , produce
vitamin K and B ,which known as “mutualistic”.
*In certain situations may become pathogen especially when change normal
region or immunosuppression “opportunistic” .
*Microbiota consists of bacteria , fungi and viruses and the common sites where
colonize are skin, mouth , respiratory tract, gastrointestinal tract , eye and genital.
*Some regions are sterile (no microbiota) which are blood , brain , muscle and CSF.
*Tissue specificity" is usually due to properties of both the host and the bacterium.
