Conjugation

Microbiological contamination refers to the accidental introduction of infectious material like bacteria, yeast, mold, fungi

Contamination

- dormant, resting stage, formed when conditions become unfavorable for growth and feeding, important factor in spread of disease

Cyst

Endospore

- only released when cell dies . comes from within the bacterial cell

Endotoxin

Contains complex organic substance(i.e. Blood, serum) that fastidious bacteria require for growth

Enriched media

-when the newly reported cases are higher than normal

Epidemic

Are organisms with cells containing a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles, with complex structures, including a cytoskeleton and multiple linear chromosomes. They can be unicellular or multicellular, including plants, animals, fungi, and protists.

Eukaryote

Organism that thrives in extreme environments under high pressure and temperature

Extremophile

Can grow with or without oxygen

Facultative anaerobe

Refers to microorganisms that have complex nutritional requirements and are difficult to grow in laboratory conditions. These organisms may require specific growth factors, certain pH levels, or a particular temperature range to survive and thrive

Fastidious

Inanimate objects that harbor microorganisms

Fomite-

- a unit of heredity that is transferred from parent to offspring and its held to determine some characteristic

Gene

A haploid set of chromosome in a gamete or microorganism or in each cell of a multicellular organism

Genome

Is a salt requiring organism able to grow n a medium containing a salt (saline)concentration high enough to inhibit the growth of other organisms

Halophiles

Are a diverse group of parasitic worms that can infect humans and animals. They include roundworms, tapeworms, flukes, and other species.

Helminth

An organism getting its nutritional requirements from eating other plants or animals(organic substance)

Heterotroph

Long, threadlike cells found in filamentous fungi or molds

Hyphae

A number of new cases–same as morbidity

Incidence rate-

Sequence of a eukaryotic gene's DNA that is not translated into a protein

Intron

The beginning phase, Organism that do not increase significant in numbers but are metabolically active growing in size

Lag phase

Lying dormant or hidden until circumstances are suitable for development or manifestation.

Latent

This phase of bacterial growth is exponential and we see increase population

Log phase

Freeze drying.. Not a method of sterilization of drying process where the solvent h20 is frozen then removed by sublimation

-----------are the structural and energy-giving caloric components of our foods that most of us are familiar with. They include carbohydrates, fats and proteins. -------- are the vitamins, minerals, trace elements, phytochemicals, and antioxidants that are essential for good health.

Macro and micro

An organism that grows best in moderate temperature, neither too hot nor too cold

Mesophile

An organism that can only be seen through a microscope

A container that holds two or more identified, easily differentiated species of microorganisms

Mixed culture

Being diseased or having a specific health condition. It is often used to describe the incidence or prevalence of a disease or health condition within a population.

Mobility

Being dead or the number of deaths that occur within a population. It is often used to describe the death rate associated with a particular disease or health condition

Mortality

Messenger, a transcript of a structural gene or genes in the DNA, synthesized in a process similar to synthesis of the leading strand during DNA replication , composed of codons
