Bakteri: Pengertian, Ciri-Ciri, dan Klasifikasi Mikroorganisme Prokariotik


Introduction




Bakteri (bacteria) are single-celled organisms that belong to the domain Bacteria, one of the three domains of life. Bakteri are prokaryotes, which means they do not have a nucleus or other membrane-bound organelles in their cells. Bakteri are very diverse and can be found in almost every habitat on Earth, from soil to water to air to inside other living beings. Bakteri play a vital role in many biological processes, such as nutrient cycling, decomposition, fermentation, symbiosis and pathogenesis. Bakteri can also be used for various purposes in biotechnology, medicine, agriculture and industry.

Types of bakteri




Bakteri can be classified into different types based on their shape, structure and function. Some of the common types of bakteri are:


  • Cocci: Bakteri that have a spherical or oval shape. Examples include streptococci, staphylococci and pneumococci.



  • Bacilli: Bakteri that have a rod-like or cylindrical shape. Examples include bacillus, clostridium and escherichia.



  • Spirilla: Bakteri that have a spiral or curved shape. Examples include spirillum, vibrio and helicobacter.



  • Gram-positive: Bakteri that have a thick cell wall made of peptidoglycan, a polymer of sugars and amino acids. They stain purple when treated with a dye called Gram stain. Examples include staphylococcus, streptococcus and bacillus.



  • Gram-negative: Bakteri that have a thin cell wall made of peptidoglycan and an outer membrane made of lipopolysaccharides (LPS), which are complex molecules of lipids and sugars. They stain pink when treated with Gram stain. Examples include escherichia, salmonella and pseudomonas.



  • Aerobic: Bakteri that require oxygen to grow and produce energy. Examples include mycobacterium, pseudomonas and bacillus.



  • Anaerobic: Bakteri that do not require oxygen to grow and produce energy. Some anaerobes can tolerate oxygen, while others are killed by it. Examples include clostridium, bacteroides and lactobacillus.



  • Facultative: Bakteri that can grow either with or without oxygen depending on the availability. Examples include escherichia, staphylococcus and streptococcus.



Characteristics of bakteri




Bakteri have some common characteristics that distinguish them from other living organisms. Some of these characteristics are:


  • Size: Bakteri are very small and usually measure between 0.5 to 5 micrometers (µm) in length. Some bakteri can be larger or smaller than this range.



Shape: Bakteri have different shapes depending on their type. The most common shapes are cocci (spheres), bacilli (rods) and spirilla (spirals Benefits of bakteri




Bakteri are not only harmful, but also beneficial for humans, animals and plants in various ways. Some of the benefits of bakteri are:


  • Digestion: Bakteri help in digesting food in the large intestine. They break down complex carbohydrates, proteins and fats into simpler molecules that can be absorbed by the body. They also produce vitamins, such as vitamin K and B12, and short-chain fatty acids, which provide energy and regulate inflammation. Some bakteri, such as lactobacillus and bifidobacterium, are known as probiotics, which can improve gut health and immunity .



  • Symbiosis: Bakteri can form mutually beneficial relationships with other organisms, such as plants and animals. For example, some bakteri live in the roots of legumes, such as beans and peas, and convert atmospheric nitrogen into a form that plants can use to make proteins. This process is called nitrogen fixation . Some bakteri live in the stomachs of ruminants, such as cows and sheep, and help them digest cellulose, a plant fiber that humans cannot digest. Some bakteri live on the skin or in the mouths of animals and humans and prevent the growth of harmful bakteri by producing substances that inhibit them.



  • Biotechnology: Bakteri can be used for various purposes in biotechnology, medicine, agriculture and industry. For example, some bakteri can produce antibiotics, drugs, vaccines, hormones, enzymes and other useful chemicals. Some bakteri can degrade pollutants, such as oil spills, pesticides and plastics. Some bakteri can ferment foods, such as yogurt, cheese, bread, wine and beer.



Diseases caused by bakteri




Bakteri can also cause diseases in humans, animals and plants by invading their tissues, multiplying rapidly and releasing toxins that damage cells and organs. Some of the common bacterial diseases and their symptoms are:

  • Food poisoning: Bakteri such as salmonella, campylobacter and escherichia coli can contaminate food or water and cause gastroenteritis, a condition that involves diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal cramps and fever .



  • Skin infections: Bakteri such as staphylococcus aureus, streptococcus pyogenes and pseudomonas aeruginosa can infect the skin and cause conditions such as cellulitis, boils, impetigo and necrotizing fasciitis. These infections can cause redness, swelling, pain, pus and tissue death .



  • Sexually transmitted infections (STIs): Bakteri such as chlamydia trachomatis, neisseria gonorrhoeae and treponema pallidum can be transmitted through sexual contact and cause infections such as chlamydia, gonorrhea and syphilis. These infections can cause symptoms such as abnormal discharge, pain during urination or sex, sores or ulcers on the genitals or mouth, pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) or infertility .



  • Pneumonia: Bakteri such as streptococcus pneumoniae, mycoplasma pneumoniae and klebsiella pneumoniae can infect the lungs and cause pneumonia, a condition that involves inflammation of the air sacs (alveoli) and fluid accumulation in the lungs. Pneumonia can cause symptoms such as coughing up mucus or blood, chest pain, shortness of breath, fever and chills .



  • Urinary tract infections (UTIs): Bakteri such as escherichia coli, proteus mirabilis and enterococcus faecalis can infect the urinary tract and cause UTIs. The urinary tract includes the kidneys, ureters (tubes that carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder), bladder (where urine is stored) and urethra (tube that carries urine out of the body). UTIs can cause symptoms such as burning or pain during urination , frequency or urgency of urination, cloudy or bloody urine, lower back pain or fever .



Prevention of bacterial infections




Bacterial infections can be prevented by following some simple hygiene practices, such as:


  • Washing your hands: Washing your hands with soap and water or using an alcohol-based hand sanitizer can reduce the risk of transmitting bakteri from your hands to your mouth, nose, eyes or other parts of your body. You should wash your hands before and after eating, preparing food, using the toilet, touching animals, handling garbage or wounds, and whenever they are visibly dirty .



  • Cooking and storing food properly: Cooking food thoroughly and storing it in the refrigerator or freezer can prevent bakteri from growing and multiplying in food. You should avoid eating raw or undercooked meat, eggs, seafood or dairy products, and wash fruits and vegetables before eating them. You should also use separate utensils and cutting boards for raw and cooked food, and clean them well after use .



Practicing safe sex: Practicing safe sex can prevent the transmission of bakteri that cause STIs. You should u
