Virology
Minuscule, acellular infectious agent having DNA or RNA
Virus
Transmitted through direct contact with infected individuals, fomites, or airborne
Viral respiratory diseases (in general)
The most effective treatment for most bacterial diseases
Antibiotics
Characterized by inflammation of the small intestine
Enteritis
This provides an ideal site for growing viruses
Embryonated eggs
Cylindrical or rod-shaped and allows a genome it's length to fit inside.
Helical capsid
Patient is experiencing body aches, chills, fatigue, and is running a high fever. No sinus congestion of any kind though. Diagnose.
Influenza
This bacterial respiratory disease can cause tooth pain
Sinusitis
When left untreated, this disease leads to the occurrence of HUS, reactive arthritis (RA), and IBS
Shigella
95% of these cases are caused by streptococcus pyrogenes.
Pharyngitis
Capable of surviving in the body for extended periods of time before any noticeable symptoms occur.
Latent infection
The re-emergence of this virus can lead to shingles later in life
Varicella-Zoster (HHV-3)
"chicken pox"
This disease can be described by infection location (lobular or bronchiolar), as well as where it originated.
Pneumonia
Treatment for most bacterial alimentary canal diseases
hydration, electrolytes, and supportive care
In extreme cases: antibiotics may be necessary
Food poisoning caused by bacterial toxins
Intoxication
Lipid bilayer composed of glycoproteins and matrix proteins. Functions as a "shell/covering" for a viral capsid
Envelope
This is a "tiny molecular key" that allows COVID-19 access into the host cell
Spike protein or "S-protein"
Highest reported case is in infants under 1 year old, but adolescents and adults are infected more often
Pertussis (Whooping Cough)
Produces a toxin that damages the intestinal lining (Shiga toxin), causing low iron conditions once in bloodstream
Enterohemorrhagic "EHEC"
(E. coli O157:H7)
Food poisoning caused by bacterial infection and then toxin
Infection to toxemia
Characterized by inflammation particular locations (pharynx, larynx, tonsils, sinuses, & otitis media)
Upper respiratory infection (URI)
The most effective prevention for most viral respiratory diseases
HANDWASHING and vaccination
This is a disease caused by streptococcus pyrogenes
Scarlet fever
Colonize the small intestine and form biofilm on gallstones
Typhoid fever
Preventative measures against pertussis (adulthood/adolescent vax)
Tdap
