This is the causative agent of bubonic plague, otherwise known as the black death.
What is Yersinia pestis?
This organelle is the powerhouse of the cell!
What is mitochondria?
During this phase of the infection cycle, the number of microbes is the highest.

The transmission method in which the pathogen enters via a sting or needle injection.
What is the parenteral route?
This scientist invented a double dish container, which we still use in the lab.
Who is Julius Petri?
This disease is caused by Borrelia burgdorferi.
What is Lyme Disease?
This organelle is found in both eukaryotes and prokaryotes and plays a role in protein synthesis.
What are ribosomes?
This type of infection is transmitted from a healthcare worker to a patient.

This organelle synthesizes lipids and plays a role in detoxification.
What is the smooth ER?
A living carrier of an infectious organism is known as...
What is a vector?
This kind of bacterial wall has a thin layer of peptidoglycan and an outer membrane that includes lipopolysaccharide (LPS).
What is gram negative?
Who is Ignaz Semmelweis?
This gram (-) bacterium localizes in the lower respiratory system and is more severe in children.
What is Bordetella pertussis?
This organelle "ships and receives" products from the rough ER.
What is the golgi apparatus?
This is released when a cell dies.
What are endotoxins?
This is what happens to a cell when placed into a hypotonic solution.
What is lyse/burst?
This scientist showed us the importance of bacteria in decomposition and nitrogen fixation.
Who is Sergei Winogradsky?
The disease caused by this bacteria was recorded in Biblical times and has a very long incubation period.
What is Mycobacterium leprae?
This type of cell is covered in flagella.
What is peritrichous?
Examples of these include hyaluronidase and catalase.
What are virulence factors?
(will also accept exoenzymes)
These stabilizing features are found only within the the bacterial plasma membrane.
What are hopanoids?
