Across

  1. Mold spores are produced within a sac or sporangium on an aerial hypha.
  2. One of the infections caused by opportunistic Enterobacteriaceae that are normal flora of the gastrointestinal tract.
  3. One of the infections caused by opportunistic Enterobacteriaceae that are normal flora of the gastrointestinal tract.
  4. The most common gram-negative, non-fermentative rod that causes human infections and is a frequent cause of nosocomial infections. It is xidase-positive and produces a green to blue water-soluble pigment.
  5. A self-contained, compartmented plastic tube containing 12 different agars (enabling the performance of a total of 15 standard biochemical tests) and an enclosed inoculating wire, this device can be used to identify members of the Enterobacteriaceae.
  6. Thick-walled, barrel-shaped asexual spores produced by a fragmentation of vegetative hyphae.
  7. One of the infections caused by opportunistic Enterobacteriaceae that are normal flora of the gastrointestinal tract. (2 words)
  8. A round opportunistic yeast producing a capsule, this organism often is found growing in soil contaminated with bird droppings.
  9. This mold produces sporangiospores, typically brown or black in color, that are produced within a sporangium.
  10. This agar inhibits the growth of Gram-positive bacteria but permits the growth of Gram-negatives It also determines whether a bacterium can ferment lactose.
  11. Thick-walled survival spores produced by the yeast Candida.
  12. A fungal infection.
  13. The attachment of a bacteriophage to receptor sites on the cell wall of a susceptible host bacterium.
  14. A multinucleated, filamentous fungus composed of hyphae.
  15. A single filament of a mold.
  16. The protein shell surrounding the genome of a virus.
  17. A yeastthat is normal flora of the gastrointestinal tract that most commonly causes superficoal mycoses such as thrush, vaginitis, onychomycosis, and dermatitis.
  18. A fungus that has two growth forms, yeast-like and mold-like.
  19. This mold produces conidiospores usually appearing grey, green, or blue that are produced in chains on finger-like projections called phialides coming off of the conidiophore.
  20. A bacteriophage injecting its genome into the the cytoplasm of its host bacterium.
  21. A disease commonly found in the Great Lakes region and the Mississippi and Ohio River valleys. The mold form of the fungus that causes this disease often grows in bird or bat droppings or soil contaminated with these droppings and produces large tuberculate macroconidia and small microconidia. After inhalation of these spores and their germination in the lungs, the fungus grows as a budding, encapsulated yeast.
  22. A bacteriophage-coded enzyme that breaks down the bacterial peptidoglycan causing osmotic lysis of the bacterium and release of the intact bacteriophages.
  23. A virus that only infects bacteria.
  24. A group of molds that cause superficial mycoses of the hair, skin, and nails and utilize the protein keratin, that is found in hair, skin, and nails, as a nitrogen and energy source.

Down

  1. A family of bacteria that are gram-negative rods, are oxidase-negative, and ferment the sugar glucose.
  2. This bacterium causes around 80 percent of all uncomplicated urinary tract infections (UTIs) and more than 50 percent of nosocomial UTIs.
  3. A small, clear area on an agar plate where the host bacteria have been lysed as a result of the lytic life cycle of the infecting bacteriophages.
  4. Any infection acquired while in the hospital.
  5. A specific strain of bacteriophage will only adsorb to a specific strain of susceptible host bacterium. (2 words)
  6. Bacteriophage parts assemble around the viral genomes within the infected host cell.
  7. This agar has a high sugar concentration and a low pH that inhibits bacterial growth but permits fungal growth. (acronym)
  8. This yeast, seen almost exclusively in highly immunosuppressed individuals, can cause an often fatal pneumonia.
  9. How Salmonella and Shigella are transmitted. (3 words)
  10. Mold spores borne externally in chains on an aerial hypha.
  11. Known bacteriophages are used to identify unknown bacteria by observing whether or not the bacteria are lysed. (2 words)
  12. A unicellular, oval or spherical fungi which increase in number asexually by a process termed budding.
  13. One of the infections caused by opportunistic Enterobacteriaceae that are normal flora of the gastrointestinal tract.
  14. An organism requiring organic compounds for both an energy and carbon source.
  15. Small pieces of circular non-chromosomal DNA that may code for multiple antibiotic resistance In addition, the plasmid may code for a sex pilus, enabling the bacterium to pass R plasmids to other bacteria by conjugation.
  16. This mold produces conidiospores, typically appearing brown to black, that are produced in chains on phialides coming off of a vesicle.
  17. Endemic to the southwestern United States, the mold form of this fungus grows in arid soil and produces thick-walled, barrel-shaped asexual spores called arthrospores by a fragmentation of its vegetative hyphae. After inhalation, the arthrospores germinate and develop into endosporulating spherules in the lungs.
  18. An organism that lives off of decaying organic material.
