The one-celled microorganisms also

known as germs or microbes are:

Bacteria

Parasites are types of:

pathogenic bacteria

by:

nonpathogenic bacteria

Technical term for bacteria that live on

dead matter is:

saprophytes

The spirilla bacteria Trepnema pallida

causes:

syphilis

The type of bacteria called cocci have a:

round shape

The type of bacteria that has a rod shape is

called:

In California in 2000, a normally harmless

bacteria that cause infections in over 100
pedicure clients was:

Mycobacterium fortuitum furunculosis

Cocci rarely:

show self-movement

Certain bacteria move about with the help

of hair like extensions called:

flagella

Mitosis is the process by which bacteria:

divide

Certain bacteria, during their inactive

stage, form outer coverings called:

spores

A disease that is transmitted from one

person to another by contact is said to be:

communicable

A typical example of a general infection is:

syphillis

A sign of bacterial infection is:

The government agency that regulates and

enforces safety and health standards in the
workplace is:

bactericidal, fungicidal, and:

virucidal

An EPA-registered tuberculocidal
disinfectant or one that kills the HVB and
HIV virus is required by OSHA for
implements that come into contact with:

blood or body fluids
