Across
- 4. organisms coming in from outside the body
- 6. an organisms potential to cause disease
- 7. Obtains a microbiome through being in utero, birth, breastfeeding, caregivers, and the environment
- 8. relative severity of a disease caused by a particular microbe
- 11. an infection that more than one microbe contributes to
- 13. cells that engulf and destroy host pathogens by means of enzymes and antimicrobial chemicals
- 15. organisms coming from somewhere within the host to cause infection
Down
- 1. deviation from health that results from the cumulative effects of infection damage
- 2. enzymes secreted by microbes that break down and damage tissues
- 3. the route a microbe takes to enter the body and cause infection
- 5. Provides newborns with the ability to digest milk
- 9. microbes get past hosts defenses, infect tissue, and mulitply
- 10. A microbe who's relationship with its host is parasitic and results in infection and disease
- 12. infectious dose; minimum number of microbes necessary to cause infection
- 14. Human Microbiome Project; uses genome sequencing to characterize microbes living on human bodies when healthy vs diseased
