Across
  1. 2. One of the most important virulence factors
  2. 4. Derived from the bone marrow and plays an important role in humoral responses
  3. 5. A carbohydrate used by normal flora in the GI tract
  4. 6. Protein molecules, pili or fimbriae are examples of what adaptation your normal flora would have to have in order to overcome your body’s natural defences
  5. 7. Part of non specific surface defences that initiate inflammation
  6. 9. Nonspecific signs of infectious disease
  7. 11. An animal that carries the pathogen from the reservoir to the new host
  8. 12. The cycle by which infections move or travel from host to host
  9. 14. Enzymes that save organisms from being lysed
  10. 17. A host who harbours a pathogen for a short time and doesn’t get an infectious disease from it
  11. 19. Type of immunity that results from an immune response after exposure to an antigen
  12. 21. Toxic compounds, used in microbial antagonism
  13. 23. Communities of microbes living and working together
  14. 27. An example of a bacteria that is more virulent when it is encapsulated as opposed to non-encapsulated strains
  15. 29. Infective dose, adhesions, toxins and enzymes are examples of
  16. 32. No signs or evidence of infection
  17. 38. Organisms that cause infections and infectious diseases
  18. 39. Communication between bacteria by the use of chemical messages
  19. 40. Test the concentration of an antibody in the patient’s serum
  20. 41. The number of organisms required to cause an infection
  21. 43. Type of organisms that normally produce exotoxins
  22. 44. Evidence of an infection
  23. 45. Derived from the thymus and plays an important role in cell-mediated responses
  24. 46. Type of organisms that normally produce endotoxins
Down
  1. 1. Whenever an infection is acquired from a health care setting
  2. 2. Chemicals that direct white blood cells to the site of infection
  3. 3. Whenever an infection spreads throughout the body
  4. 4. A pathogen that is usually bad
  5. 7. Can be either an endogenous or an exogenous infection
  6. 8. A temporary part of your normal flora
  7. 10. Infections from animals
  8. 13. An example of virulence factors that involves the host not recognizing the pathogen as a foreign invader
  9. 15. Natural immunity that is fast, nonspecific and no prior exposure is required
  10. 16. Normal flora of the skin
  11. 18. A long term, stable part of your normal flora
  12. 20. Structural glue that helps hold biofilms together
  13. 22. A host who harbours a pathogen for a long time and doesn’t get an infectious disease from it
  14. 24. A mode of transmission from inanimate objects
  15. 25. Where the pathogen stays when it is not infecting a host
  16. 26. The degree of pathogenicity
  17. 27. Adaptive immunity that is slow, powerful and specific
  18. 28. The way the pathogen gets from the reservoir to the host
  19. 30. Type of immunity that results from a transfusion of protection
  20. 31. An unstable relationship where one member lives at the expense of the other
  21. 33. Bacteria used to treat various conditions, one being Crohn’s
  22. 34. The ability of an organism to cause disease
  23. 35. Help the microbe move into other tissues
  24. 36. A stable relationship where both members benefit
  25. 37. Stable relationship where one member benefits and the other is not affected
  26. 42. Period of recovery
