2. Viral cause of pneumonia transmitted through airborne dust contaminated with rodent urine, feces, or saliva.
4. Virulence factor of Streptococcus pyogenes that resists phagocytosis and aids in adherence.
8. Alpha-hemolytic gram-positive strep in chains that commonly causes community-acquired bacterial pneumonia.
10. More drastic influenza change caused by RNA exchange between strains and associated with pandemics.
11. Streptococcus pyogenes complication involving fever, painful joints, heart valve damage, and a splotchy non-itchy rash.
12. Opportunistic fungal pneumonia commonly seen in AIDS patients and immunocompromised individuals.
13. Cell wall component in gram-positive bacteria that helps Streptococcus pyogenes adhere to pharyngeal epithelial cells.
14. Influenza virus spike protein responsible for release of virions from host cells.

1. Rare gram-negative cause of severe sore throat that can lead to Lemierre’s syndrome.
2. Influenza virus spike protein responsible for viral attachment to respiratory cells.
3. Acid-fast bacillus with a waxy cell wall that causes tuberculosis and does not gram stai
5. Type of Streptococcus that is Gram-positive coccus in chains that causes strep throat and displays beta-hemolysis on blood agar.
6. Complication of Streptococcus pyogenes characterized by a sandpaper-textured rash and high fever.
7. O and S Exotoxins produced by Streptococcus pyogenes responsible for beta-hemolysis on blood agar.
9. Less drastic influenza variation caused by mutations in H and N glycoproteins and responsible for yearly vaccines.
