- 43. the phase of bacterial growth where antibiotics are at the most potent
- 44. this fungus is commonly transmitted via dust particles in dry areas around Arizona, Northern Mexico, and Southern California

- 2. the term for bacteria that don’t grow in the presence of oxygen
- 5. this infectious yeast is the only one that has a capsule
- 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
- 9. viral proteins on the surface of the envelope which is responsible for recognition of host cell receptors and establishment of infection
- 11. the replication strategy used by yeast
- 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
