(Gram) negative ghost rider
This bacteria is the singular cause of Typhoid fever, a disease characterized by fever and gastrointestinal distress, due to poor water sanitation.
Salmonella typhi
In a mycobacterium-based lung infection, these are small, organized clusters of immune cells that "walls off" bacteria that the body can't destroy
What is a granuloma?
This type of gene can cause cancer when turned on (such as by latent viruses!)
Treponema palladium vs. Lactobacillus
This virus is known for causing both chickenpox in its primary form, and shingles in its secondary form.
What is the varicellovirus?
This bacteria is the number one cause of UTIs
Escherichia coli
The order Bacillus and lactobacillus can be easily differentiated by this test, although both can be facultative anaerobes or obligate aerobes.
What is the catalase test?
Genetic shift leads to this type of disease in a population.
What is an epidemic?
M. tuberculosis vs. Corynebacterium diphtheria
This DNA virus remains latent in monocytes and macrophages, called "owl's eye" intranuclear inclusions, and is the leading cause of infectious congenital birth defects.
What is cytomegalovirus?
This bacteria genus is known for being obligate aerobes, with diplococci shape.
Neisseria
This neurotoxin blocks acetylcholine release, causing paralysis of the muscles.
What is Clostridium botulinum?
This is the period in viral multiplication where the virus has infected the cell but the virus has not yet started producing complete virions.
What is the eclipse period?
What are aerobic requirements?
Two DNA viruses that are latent in the kidneys
What are the JC Virus and BK viruses? (Polyomaviridae)
This enteric bacterium is responsible for a disease that causes "bubos" or swollen painful lymph nodes.
What is Yersinia pestis?
This species of Firmicute is a member of the family Bacillus, but does not form spores. It is most commonly known for being cold-tolerant and causing sickness from unpasteurized milk.
What is Listeria monocytogenes?
When an RNA positive sense virus invades a cell, after entry and decoating, this is the first thing the virus does in biosynthesis.
What is RNA replication of negative-senser template?
Shigella vs. Salmonella
What is citrate test or Kligler's iron deep?
The two Picornaviridae
What are poliovirus and enterovirus?
This bacterium causes a disease that is characterized by erythema migrans - but only if a tick was attached for over 24 hours!
What is Borrelia burgdorferi?
These two bacteria are responsible for "lumpy jaw" and"lock jaw"?
What are Actinomyces israelii and Clostridium tetani?
This is one of the three results of lysogenic viral infection, where host cells exhibit new properties from viral DNA integration.
Pseudomonas aeruginosa vs. Enteric Bacteria
What are aerobic requirements?
The three Paramyxoviridiae
