Aggregates Colonies Isolates Biofilms Media Chapter 6: Microbial Growth and Nutrition (TCO 4) Explain how temperature and pH levels can influence microbial infections in the human body. Your Answer: In the body there are areas that have different pH levels and different temperatures. Microbial infections require the perfect environment to grow. So if the microbe you are trying to grow likes low temperature and a low pH it would not grow well in the stomach or the vagina. The temperature and the pH can be the cause of life or death of a microbe. In the stomach a common infection is H.pylori because it like the acidic environment. Chapter 6: Microbial Growth and Nutrition All microbes have particular ranges of temperature and pH within which they exist. When the temperature or pH of their environment falls outside this range, their growth is inhibited, and they may even die as a result of the adverse conditions. Therefore, only those microbes whose pH and temperature requirements match those conditions found in the human body will be able to grow and reproduce there. For example, because the temperature of the human body is 37° C, only mesophiles can reproduce there. In addition, the pH of most tissues and fluids in the body is 6.5–7.5, which matches the pH requirements of neutrophiles. Therefore, it is not surprising that most human pathogens are mesophiles and neutrophiles. But this is not always the case. Some microbes have adapted to environments that would otherwise be extremely hostile to most microbes. A good example is the bacterium Helicobacter pylori, which is able to live in the extremely acidic conditions of the stomach by secreting substances that help to neutralize the acid. The result is an infection that can lead to stomach ulcers. Quiz Score: 26 out of 30 Submission Details: [Show More]
