Introductions
This Italian researcher disproved spontaneous generation for animals
Francesco Redi
These bacteria must live within host cells
Rickettsias and chlamydias
Mycobacteria are characterized by this cell wall characteristic
Mycolic acid (acid fast)
Envelope
Hepatitis B virus
The severity of a microbe's infection
Virulence
Bacteria reside within this kingdom
Monera
Bacteria that form this structure are capable of going dormant in harsh environments
Endospores
Flu A is capable of this process where the envelope accpets spikes from other viruses in the same host
Antigenic shift
This organization defines emerging disease with consideration for risk categories
NIAID (NIH)
Any living vehicle of infection
Vector
This form of HGT involves the direct exchange of plasmids between cells
Conjugation
This respiratory mechanism uses nitrogen or sulfur as a final electron acceptor
anaerobic respiration
This fungal infection can undergo Y->M shift and is most common in the Ohio/Mississippi river valleys
Histoplasmosis
The connections between environmental and human health is central to what concept
One health
This German researcher developed a series of rules to prove a microbes causes disease
Robert Koch
These bacteria have two membranes containing LPS
Gram negative
These large genetic regions are intrinsically unstable and possess many virulence factors
Pathogenicity islands
This stage of a protozoan life cycle is considered the mature feeding stage
Trophozoite
This is the greatest risk factor for HAIs
Duration of hospital stay
These microbes can cause disease, but only if the immune system compromised
Opportunistic pathogens
These bacteria are unaffected by penicillins due to their cell wall structure
Mycoplasma and Ureaplasma
Lack cell wall
Bacteria use this communication technique to determine how many neighbors are in an area
Quorum sensing
These intestinal worms are equipped with suckers and hooks to attach to host walls
Cestoda (tapeworms)
This G+ coccus can infect any site and should never be dismissed as contamination
Staphylococcus aureus
