Phylogeny: evolutionary history of a group of organisms Taxonomy: study of general principles of scientific classification of live & extinct organisms Classification: organisation of organisms into progressively more inclusive groups by phenotypic similarities or evolutionary relationships Nomenclature: formal rules for naming organisms Identification: practical aspect of the classification scheme Classification: Into groups by characteristics to make them easier to study, shows relationships between different species and allows prediction of properties and behaviours Identification: Enabling of bacteria classification, diseases diagnosis and treatment, monitor microbial contaminants in pharmaceutical products in manufacturing, ensure compliance with microbiological sta`beards for medicines and products are met Taxonomy hierarchy: Classification into 3 domains: bacteria, archaea, eukarya There are 5 kingdoms to be classified into: animals, plants, fungi, protists, bacteria Kingdom monera: unicellular organisms with a prokaryotic cell organisation Kingdom proctoctista: diverse group of simple eukaryotes single called organisms Kingdom fungi: nomotile eukaryotes lack of flagella and develop from spores unicellular Kingdom plantae: predominately multicellular eukaryotes Kingdom anamalia Taxonomic divisions linnaeus standardised the naming and classification of organisms based on common characteristics allowing for division into smaller groups and decreasing the number of overlapping characteristics Named by genus first Bacteria can be classified according to phenotypes(observable charact.) Genotype(analysis of genome), phylogenetic(evolutionary rRNA seq.) ' Taxonomy in relation to disease: Epidemiological Identification of an organism i.e. species level could ensure diagnosis and treatments in turn, also allows source of infection tracking, monitoring of worldwide outbreaks and prevention of the spread of the disease Disease agents Understanding the infection was caused by a specific organisms as different microorganisms cause different diseases but a variety of microorganisms may also causes the same disease
