Microbiology

2. Koch's postulates
3. A non-living sub-microscopic particle that must infect living plant or animal cells to reproduce. Not made of cells. Examples: rabies, cold, flu, measles, Hepatitis B, AIDS, others.
4. the culture plate method to identify pathogens that cause disease
7. microorganisms that cause disease. Bacteria, Viruses, Fungi and Protozoans(parasites).
8. a strict isolation imposed to prevent the spread of disease
10. treating a substance with heat to kill or slow the growth of pathogens(Louis Pasteur) This process is used to make milk safe to drink.
11. pasteurizing(heating) milk to kill bacteria. Also developed a vaccine to prevent Rabies
14. A dead or inactive form of a pathogen. They prevent some types of diseases such as measles, mumps, Hepatitis B.

1. proposed the germ theory of disease
4. the first doctor to recognize the importance of hand-washing to PREVENT the spread of infectious diseases.
5. A one-celled prokaryotic microorganism without a nucleus. Cause disease by rapidly reproducing and making toxins which damage our body cells. Examples: Lyme disease, cholera, tuberculosis, strep throat, tetanus and others.
6. Drugs that destroy/kill bacteria
9. When there are lots of cases of an infectious disease in one area of the world.
12. When a person has white blood cells that can rapidly make the correct antibodies to destroy/kill a pathogen.
13. When an infectious disease spreads worldwide.
