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