Any possible reasons based on diagram? Increasing resistance of microbes to antibiotics due to genetic mutation or exchange (plasmids) and long-term use of antibiotics select for the ones with microbial resistance genes. Lower percentage of vaccinated persons, resulting in an increase in the proportion of susceptible individuals Increased number of individuals with weak immune systems due to stress of famine, war, crowding or disease Common Terms Reemerging 2/2/2018 Chap 1 The Microbial World & You 37

42 Viruses Continued - Reproduction Viruses: 4. Viral Reproduction : A. Virus attaches to the host cell via receptors on the virus surface B. Virus inserts its nucleic acid into the host cell C. DNA viruses: Use host cell enzymes to copy its DNA and express it to create new virus particles. D. RNA viruses: RNA can be used directly to make viral proteins E. Retroviruses are a subtype of RNA viruses: In the host cell, an enzyme copies its RNA into DNA. The DNA integrates/inserts itself into the host cell genome. Each time cell divides, the viral genome is copied and present in the daughter cells. 2/2/2018 Chap 1 The Microbial World & You 42

43 Viruses Lab Growth, Oncogenic Viruses: 5. Lab growth: Won t grow on regular media. Requires cell cultures, eggs, animals, extra time etc. 6. Some are oncogenic. Examples: A.

44 Viruses -Treatment Viruses: 7. Treatment is difficult: A. Usually toxic to host cell, since virus is inside the cells B. Interferon antiviral protein produced by cells. Species specific. Recombinant DNA induce bacteria to produce interferons. C. Some viral treatments help treat/affect cancers/tumors. 8. Virology 2/2/2018 Chap 1 The Microbial World & You 44
