| How are microorganisms helpful in food? | They are part of the cheese making process. |
| True or False. Only type of microorganism exist. | False. Just like plant seeds, there are many kinds of microorganisms, each with a different effect |

| What are the two groups Gram Stain divides bacteria? | Gram-positive and gram-negative |
| What is gram-positive? | It's bacteria that turns purple when stained. It keeps its color when a decolorizer is applied. |
| What is gram-negative? | It's a bacteria that turns purple when stained but looses it's color when a decolorizer is applied. When the 2nd stain is applied ( red) it then turns red. |
| Describe the Ziehl-Neilson stain | It identifies acid-fast bacteria (bacteria that stains fast/ easily). |
| Describe acid fast red stain and nonacid-fast blue stain | When stained red, the bacteria retains the color red even after a decolorizer is applied they are called "acid-fast". When the color is loss after being stained red; and a second stain is applied (blue) the bacteria is considered "nonacid-fast". |
| How can cells protect themselves? | They form a spore: a thick layer around the nucleus. Spores are hard to kill and are a direct problem for Sterile Processing. |

| What are the 3 temperature requirements for bacteria? | Psychrophiles, Mesophiles &Thermophiles |
| True of False: Microorganisms that can cause disease to humans have a pH range the same as human blood. 7-7.8 | True |
| Why do hospitals use Ultraviolet light? | Ultraviolet light can kill the spore of gram-positive Bacilli |
| Name 3 non-bacterial organisms. | Viruses, fungi and protozoa |
| Viruses are ____________ times_____________ than bacteria. | 1,000 / smaller |
| What does a virus do once it enters a plant or animal? | Reproduce, destroys the cell and move on to another cell. |
| How can viruses become mobile? | Animals, air, water, insect and humans |
| How is Hepatitis B, C, D & E transmitted? | Body fluids |
| How is Hepatitis A transmitted? | Food-borne illness |
| How long can Herpes virus survive on plastic, on a cotton gauze? | 8 hours, 72 hours |
| West Nile virus is carried by mosquitoes from bird to people but it is also transmitted from organ donor to ____________________. | Oran recipient. |
| There are 5 categories of Microorganisms according to Steris University. What are they? | Bacteria, virus, fungi, protozoa and prions |
| Name four characteristics of microorganisms | cell structure, DNA, means of reproduction and size |
| What measurement is used to measure Bacteria and cells? Inches, millimeters, centimeters or microns? | Microns |
| Bacteria is between ____ or ___ microns. | 1 or 2 |
| Which is smaller, bacteria or viruses? | Viruses |
| What are the components of a typical cell? | Cell wall, cell membrane, cytoplasm, capsule, flagella and nucleus. |
| Describe a cell wall. | Keeps cell structure because it's tough. |
| Describe the cell's membrane. | Semi-permeable and allows gasses and liquids to pass in and out of cell. It's just under the cell wall. |
| Describe the cell's cytoplasm. | This is where chemical reactions and protein processes are conducted. It has been describe as the white of an egg. |
| Describe the cell's capsule. | It protects the cell from being destroyed. Just like our white blood cells destroy bacteria in our bodies. |
| Describe the cell's flagella. | Tails that gives the cell the ability to move through liquids. |
| Describe the cell's nucleus. | It controls the cells, growth food usage and the making of new cell components. Here is where the DNA lives. |
| True or false. The bacteria nucleus has a nuclear membrane enclosing the DNA. | False. The bacteria nucleus does not have a membrane that encloses the DNA. It floats without restrictions. |
| True or false. Plants and animals chromosomes are enclosed in a nuclear membrane. | True. |
| How can cells protect themselves in a hostile environment. | Creating a thick oat around the nucleus; a spore. Making it hard to kill. |
| True or false. Mesophiles like to grow at body temperature. | True |
| Why would ultraviolet lights be used in the Operating Room; in regards to bacteria? | Ultraviolet light and sunlight kill bacteria by breaking the nuclear DNA. Ultraviolet light can disinfect air and purify the environment. |
| A virus has no way to move, they rely on air, water, insects, humans and or _______ to carry it from host to host. | animals. Viruses can live outside the host on a scab, in blood or body waste for hours or days. |
| Herpes simplex is a Fungi, Protozoa or virus? | Virus |
| Can Tuberculosis survive for years in a dry state ? | Yes |
| What are the two common stains used to identify bacterial? | Gram stain and Ziehl-Neelson stain a.k.a Acid Fast |
| What color are Gram Positive bacteria? | Purple |
| What color are Gram Negative bacteria? | Red |
| Between Gram Positive and Gram Negative bacteria, which has a thick cell wall and which has a thin cell wall? | Gram Positive: thick wall Gram Negative: thin wall |
| The Gram Stain process includes 1. the primary stain 2. decolorize 3. _________ | The counter or secondary stain. |
| In Gram Stain, which bacteria (positive or negative) retains the primary stain and which looses the primary color during the de-colorization process? | Gram Positive bacteria retains the primary stain. Gram Negative bacteria looses it's color during the de-colorization process and takes on the secondary color or counter stain. |
| In the Ziehl-Neilson Stain, which bacteria retains the primary stain? Acid fast-Red or Non-acid fast- blue? | Acid fast - Red |
| What color is Acid fast bacteria and non-acid fast? | Red; Blue |
| True or False. Gram stain helps identify infectious disease such as tuberculosis and leprosy. | False. Acid fast testing helps identify tuberculosis and leprosy. |
| Who was Ziehl-Neilson? | Fraz Ziehl (1854-1898) a bacteriologist and Friedrich Neelson (1859-1926) a pathologist. |
| What are the six links in the "Chain of Infection"? | 1. Causative agent 2. Reservoir of the agent 3. Portal of exit of the agent from the reservoir 4. Mode of Transmission of the agent 5. Portal of entry into the host 6. Susceptible host |
| Infectious disease (agent) need a reservoir to grow, live and multiply. What are three common reservoirs for this to happen? | Humans, animals and the environment |
| It's important for an infectious disease to have a reservoir, mode of transmission and susceptible host. Name 4 modes of transmission. | 1. Direct contact 2. Common vehicle 3. Airborne 4. Vector borne. |
| Reservoir+Agent+Mode of Transmission+Susceptible host= | Chain of infection (CDC Atlanta: U.S. Department of Human Services; 1992) |
| Causative agents are capable of causing disease; such as bacterium, virus, fungi or parasites. It is important for either of them to have 6 things to cause infection. What are they? | 1.Virulence (able to multiply and grow) 2. Invasiveness (able to enter tissue) 3. Pathogenicity (able to cause disease). 4. Ability (able to resist antibiotics) 5. Infection dose (amount required to cause disease) 6. Viability (survive outside host) |
| True or False. Viruses are sensitive to antibiotics | False. Bacteria is sensitive to antibiotics |
| What are examples of Direct contact in the case of Mode of Transmission? | Kissing and or touching |
| When talking about "Mode of Transmission" What are examples of Common vehicle? | Food, blood and water |
| What are examples of Airborne as it relates to "Mode of Transmission? | Droplets or dust remaining in the air. |
| What is a Vector and how does it spread disease? | An organism like a insect, that transmits a pathogen possibly from a bite. |
| Portal of exit is how the agent leaves the reservoir. Name the six. | 1. Respiratory tract 2. Genitourinary tract 3. Gastrointestinal tract 5. Skin/ mucous membrane 6. Transplacental |
| A susceptible host is a person or animal that may have a hard time fighting disease and or infection. What 5 things that can make a person or animal vulnerable? | 1. Age 2. Injury 3. Weak immune system 4. History of disease (diabetes) 5. Under nourished |
