Bacteria |
Acinetobacter |
Abundant
in air, soil and water. Some are beneficial ( e.g. those living in intestine
and breaking down food) and some are harmless to humans. Bacteria which
are harmful are known as pathogens. Three main categories: cocci (spherical),
bacilli (rod-shaped) and spirochaetes or spirilla (spiral-shaped). Bacteria
can grow in an inert medium. Susceptible to antibiotics. |

Micro-organisms
which are intermediate in size between viruses and bacteria; like viruses
they can only multiply by first invading the cells of another life-form;
otherwise more like bacteria and are susceptible to antibiotics. |

parasitic life forms which cause illness by direct poisoning, toxic by-products,
allergic reactions and/or colonisation of body tissues. Fungi can be divided
into moulds which reproduce by sporing and yeasts which reproduce by budding. |

Parasite |
Ancylostoma
Caninum |
Any organism
living in or on any other living creature and deriving advantage from
doing so, while causing disadvantage to the host. Internal parasites are
commonly acquired by eating contaminated meat, swallowing eggs on food,
contaminating fingers with faecal material or through contact with infected
water. Scolex is the part of the tapeworm attached by suckers and hooks
to gut wall of host; sometimes called head. Proglottides is the segment-like
units of the tapeworm body which, when mature, leave the gut of the primary
host in the faeces; they are budded off from the scolex. |

Coxiella
Burnetii / Q Fever |
A type
of parasitic micro-organism. They resemble bacteria but are only able
to replicate by invading the cells of another life form; rickettsiae are
parasites of ticks, lice, etc. These animals can transmit the rickettsiae
to humans via their bite or contaminated faeces. |

They invade living cells, take them over and make copies of themselves.
Not susceptible to antibiotics. |
