What is Corynebacterium diptheriae?
Borrelia burgdorferi
What is the causative agent of Lyme disease?
The causative agent of dental carries.
What is Streptococcus mutans?
Treatment of this nervous system pathogen may required artifical ventilation for respiratory paralysis. Is now prevented with a vaccine. Replicates in the cells lining the throat and the intestines.
What is poliovirus?
This condition has a 2-5 day incubation period, causes painful urination and abnormal discharge in men and women, and may cause infertility. Similar genus to the organism that causes Meningococcal Meningitis.
What is Gonorrhea?
This causative agent of pneumonia lacks a cell wall and has a 2-3 week incubation period.
What is Mycoplasmal Pneumonia/Mycoplasma pneumoniae?
The causative agents of Impetigo.
What are Streptococcus pyogenes and Staphylococcus aureus?
This organism's pathogenesis causes water and electrolytes to enter the intestinal lumen, potentially resulting in dehydration and shock. It is alkali-tolerant and Gram-negative.
What is Vibrio cholerae?
This organism causes a condition that has Primary, Secondary, Latent, and Tertiary stages. It has a characteristic chancre that appears at the site of entry.
What is Treponema pallidum?
The virulence factors that are especially relevant for Streptococcus pyogenes.
What are Lancefield Group A and Beta-Hemolytic?
Commonly known as Chickenpox, this pathogen enters the respiratory tract and spreads via the bloodstream to the skin to form lesions.
What is the Varicella-zoster virus?
Many different serotypes of this pathogen exist, with varying conditions. Some particular serotypes may cause typhoid fever or paratyphoid fever. Often comes from poultry products.
Humans are a dead-end host for the pathogens that cause this condition, resulting in fever, headache, vomiting, disorientation, paralysis, seizures, deafness, and coma.
What is Viral Encephalitis?
These viruses have many different strains, some of which cause cancer and others that cause warts.
What are Human Papillomaviruses?
This type of pneumonia is characterized by being caused by Gram-negative rods. It is the most common pneumonia that causes fatal nosocomial infections as it is often resistant to antibiotics.
What is Klebsiella Pneumonia?
This organism produces an A-B exotoxin that acts against nerve cells that normally inhibit muscle contraction.
What is Clostridium tetani?
This condition has several different types that all affect the liver, yet are in different families. These are those families.
What is Viral Hepatitis? / What are Picornaviridae, Hepadnaviridae, and Flaviviridae?
Inflammation of the meninges caused by this Neisseria species.
What is Neisseria meningitidis?
Helper T cells are important for adaptive immunity. This virus preferentially attacks T cells.
What is Human Immunodeficiency Virus?
Symptoms include chronic fever, weight loss, cough, and sputum production. Pathogenesis includes being phagocytized by macrophages, where they replicate and migrate to kidneys, brain, lungs, and lymph nodes. Can exit through the mouth via coughing.
What is tuberculosis?
Clostridium perfringens is best treated with this method.
What is surgical removal of dead tissue?
You can find Helicobacter pylori here.
What is the stomach's mucous coating?
Viral meningitis is usually caused by enteroviruses in this family.
What is Picornaviridae?
