If an HIV infection is untreated then it can progress to stage 3
which is known as? - correct answer -Acquired immunodeficiency
syndromes (AIDS)
Second leading cause of the common cold? - correct answer -
Coronaviruses
Flavivirus - correct answer -Move rom an infected bird or other
animal to a mosquito or other biting insect and then finally to the
human host
Ex: yellow fever, dengue, West Nile virus, Zika virus
Prions - correct answer -Pathogenic protein molecules that can
cause misfolding of other protein shakes in the infected cell
Ex: bovine songiform encephalopathy (mad cow disease)

Variant Creutzfeldt- jackob disease
Bacterium - correct answer -A tiny, primitive cell without a nucleus
Ways to classify bacteria? - correct answer -Growth requirements
Staining properties
Shape and size
Spores - correct answer -Some bacteria can develop into
resistant dormant forms
Fungi - correct answer -Simple organisms that are similar to
plants but without chlorophyll, without chlorophyll fungi can't
produce their own food, so they've must consume or parasitism
other organisms
Protozoa - correct answer -One called organisms that are larger
than bacteria and whose DNA is organized in a nucleus
, Page | 3
Major groups of pathogenic Protozoa include the following? -
correct answer -Amebas
Flagellates
Ciliates
Sporozoa
Metazoa - correct answer -Pathogenic animals that are large and
multicellular
Major groups of pathogenic animals include the following? -
correct answer -Nematodes
Playyhelminths
Arthropods
Aseptic technique - correct answer -Involves killing or disabling
pathogens on surfaces before they can spread to other people
Sterilization - correct answer -Destruction of all living organisms;
does not usually affect prions
, Page | 4
Ex: extreme temperatures , radiation
Disinfection - correct answer -Destruction of most or all pathogens
on inanimate objects but not necessarily all harmless microbes
Ex: chemicals such as alcohol and soaps
Antisepsis - correct answer -Inhibition or inactivation of pathogens
Ex: chemicals such as alcohol , iodine , and dyes
Isolation - correct answer -Separation of potentially infectious
people or materials from non infected people
Ex: quarantine of affected patients, PPE while giving treatment
and sanitary transport, storage, and disposal of body fluids
Vaccine - correct answer -A prevention strategy that hasn't
worked with some bacterial and viral pathogens
Antibiotics - correct answer -Compounds produced by certain
living organisms or in a lab that kills or inhibit bacterial pathogens
