Microbiology Fill In The Blanks

      Help!   
In each blank, try to type in the word that is missing. If you've typed in the correct word, the blank will turn green.

If your not sure what answer should be entered, press the space bar and the next missing letter will be displayed.

When you are all done, you should look back over all your answers and review the ones in red. These ones in red are the ones which you needed help on.

Question: Children who have with beta-hemolytic streptococci can develop:Answer: glomerulonephritis
