Veterinary Microbiology quiz 1 UPDATED
ACTUAL Exam Questions and CORRECT
Answers
Antonie van Leeuwenhoek - CORRECT ANSWER - the father of bacteriology and
protozoology who also established the foundation of the scientific method by using deductive
reasoning
Bacteriology - CORRECT ANSWER - the study of bacteria
Animalcules - CORRECT ANSWER - another name for microorganisms
Deductive reasoning - CORRECT ANSWER - the process "hypothesis, results, etc."
Joseph Lister - CORRECT ANSWER - the man who introduced the concept of aseptic
techniques, who noticed that heated broth will not spoil, who proved that sterile objects and
materials are essential parts of microbiology
Aseptic techniques - CORRECT ANSWER - reducing the spread of bacteria
How come the broth that gets heated up will not spoil? - CORRECT ANSWER - because
the heat killed the bacteria
Louis Pasteur - CORRECT ANSWER - the man who invented pasteurization, who showed
the role of microbiology in the manufacture of wine and beer, who showed the link between
diseases and infections which lead to the "germ theory of disease"
Pasteurization - CORRECT ANSWER - when the heat is applied to a liquid (milk, juice)
to remove potential bacteria.
, Germ theory of disease - CORRECT ANSWER - finding the animal has a condition and
finding what that condition is
Germ theory of disease was later known as what? - CORRECT ANSWER - Koch's
postulates
What is the importance of Koch's postulates? - CORRECT ANSWER - they allow to
verify the germ theory of disease, to determine pathogenic organisms and diseases they cause,
and they allow separations of microorganisms and growing them in culture
Koch's postulates are as follows... - CORRECT ANSWER - "The bacteria must be
PRESENT in every case of the disease. The bacteria must be ISOLATED from the host with the
disease and GROWN IN PURE CULTURE. The specific disease must be REPRODUCED when
a pure culture of the bacteria is inoculated into a HEALTHY SUSCEPTIBLE HOST."
Suspected microorganism - CORRECT ANSWER - is taken and cultured
Microbiology - CORRECT ANSWER - The study of microscopic organisms
Microscopic organisms - CORRECT ANSWER - organisms that cannot be seen with the
naked eye
What are some examples of microscopic organisms? - CORRECT ANSWER - bacteria,
viruses, fungi, protozoa, algae, and parasitic worms
Why are bacteria convenient experimental subjects to use? - CORRECT ANSWER -
because of their small size, simple structure, rapid reproduction, and their adaptability to their
environment
Practical uses of microbiology in medicine and other industries include - CORRECT
ANSWER - public health microbiology and epidemiology
