Microbiology

Bacteria produce and grow rapidly:

• Active Stage

• Inactive Stage

• Universal Stage

• Local Stage

Spherical bacterial cells, which appear singularly or in groups:

• Bacilli

• Sprilla

• Cocci

• Pathogenic

The study of the bacteria is called:

• Bacteriology

• Microbiology

• Anatomy

• Dermatology

Approximately, what percentage of bacteria are nonpathogenic?

• 60%

• 70%

• 80%

• 90%

Bacilli and spirilla have the ability to move themselves using hair-like projections called:

• Flagella

• Stems

• Cilia

• Roots

Organisms that live on or obtain nutrients from another organism called a host:

• Viruses

• Bacteria

• External Parasites

• Bloodborne Pathogens

Infectious disease that can spread through the air or contact with a contaminated object:

• Direct Transmission

• Indirect Transmission

• Contagious Infection

• Micro-Organisms

Located in a small, confined area. It is often indicated by a pus-filled boil, pimple or inflamed area.

• Local Infection

• General Infection

• Systemic Infection

• Primary Lesions

Molds and yeasts that produce contagious diseases and noncontagious conditions are called:

• Parasitic Mites

• Miro-Organisms

• Parasitic Fungi

• Staphylococci

Disease producing bacteria:

• Contagious

• Flagella

• Nonpathogenic

• Pathogenic
