Across
  1. 3. the color Gram-positive bacteria are after a Gram stain
  2. 4. the term used to describe the disease/symptom producing powers of pathogens
  3. 7. these bacteria are shaped like a long spiral
  4. 8. a genus of bacteria that must always grow inside host cells in order to survive
  5. 10. the molecule on the outside of Gram-negative bacteria that are made of LPS
  6. 12. synthesis of this bacteria structure is inhibited by the activity of beta-lactam antibiotics
  7. 14. this mass of identical bacterial cells can be seen without the use of a microscope, growing on agar plates
  8. 15. This bacterial structure can be found on the outside of the cell wall, and has anti-phagocytic properties
  9. 18. this genus of bacteria can’t Gram-stain because their cell envelopes are too acidic and full of lipids
  10. 20. the protein structure that protects viral genomic material
  11. 22. this enzyme can break down hydrogen peroxide to form water and bubbles (oxygen)
  12. 25. a type of viral infection that ends when the host cell explodes and releases new virions
  13. 28. the term used for fungi that are only ever yeast, or mold
  14. 30. these bacterial structures help bacteria move towards food
  15. 31. the term for extra-chromosomal DNA that bacteria can harbor, are circular in nature
  16. 33. the term for the habitat in which a microbe normally lives, grows, and multiplies
  17. 35. this type of bacterial toxin causes uncontrolled T-cell activation
  18. 36. this infection is caused by a protozoan that requires cats as their definitive host and is spread via cat feces
  19. 38. this type of host harbors asexual developmental portions of a parasite’s life cycle
  20. 41. this group of protozoans traditionally have no method of locomotion, and malaria is a member
  21. 42. these hosts are required for sexual reproduction of certain protozoans and helminths
  22. 43. the phase of bacterial growth where antibiotics are at the most potent
  23. 44. this fungus is commonly transmitted via dust particles in dry areas around Arizona, Northern Mexico, and Southern California
  24. 45. this mold causes infection by growing hyphae in the host, and can cause fungal balls in the lung to form
  25. 46. the genus of this tapeworm can infect the brain if eggs are ingested
Down
  1. 1. this property of agar allows only a subset of bacterial types to grow, and inhibits the rest
  2. 2. the term for bacteria that don’t grow in the presence of oxygen
  3. 5. this infectious yeast is the only one that has a capsule
  4. 6. the term for fungi, some of which are endemic to the US, that exist as mold in the environment, and yeast inside the human host
  5. 9. viral proteins on the surface of the envelope which is responsible for recognition of host cell receptors and establishment of infection
  6. 11. the replication strategy used by yeast
  7. 13. a type of infection that has an acute phase of symptoms, followed by a period of time where no symptoms are present, but reactivation of the infection can occur
  8. 16. a bacterial structure that helps with adherence to help establish infection
  9. 17. the general term for bacterial toxin that are actively secreted from the cell
  10. 19. this type of infection is not cleared by the body, and symptoms remain for an extended period of time
  11. 21. the space between the two membranes in Gram-negatives
  12. 23. the mechanism by which some bacteria can acquire free DNA from the environment and incorporate it into their chromosome
  13. 24. this genus of bacteria have no peptidoglycan
  14. 26. the term used for all insects that are responsible for transmitting certain infectious diseases
  15. 27. this structure can be formed by certain Gram-positive bacilli and allows them to survive in harsh environments
  16. 29. a general term for bacterial enzymes that help the bacteria spread into other tissues and organs
  17. 32. a virus that is able to infect a bacterium; is a temperate one when it injects other bacterial DNA instead of viral DNA
  18. 34. the term for bacteria when sharing plasmids
  19. 37. this enveloped DNA virus can cause encephalitis when reactivated. It likes to hide out in nerves
  20. 39. this type of host harbors the sexual reproduction portion of a parasite’s life cycle
  21. 40. these acids are covalently attached to the peptidoglycan in Gram-positive bacteria
