What are germs?

How do T4 bacteriophages kill the bacteria that they have infected?

These germs causes diseases like ear infections, sore throats, cavities, or pneumonia (an infection of the lungs).

Varicella zoster is the virus that causes this infection:

Trichophyton rubrum is a single-celled fungus that causes this disease:

The smallest of all of the germs is a:

Two positive uses of Fungi are:

This nasty bug is found in your gut. With too many antibiotics, the normal flora ("the good guys") get overrun by the "bad guys". A fecal transplant is a relatively new, yet 95% effective, way to treat this type of infection. (from, "What's Living in You?" video notes)

In the 1980's, two researchers, Marshall & Warren discovered that stomach ulcers (bleeding sores in the stomach) were not caused by stress. They were actually caused by:

Antibiotics are only effective against which germ?

True or False. Viruses cannot survive outside the host for long.

True or False. One similarity between bacteria and viruses is that they can both be pathogenic.

True or False. Only bacteria have good uses. All viruses are bad.

True or False. SARS CoV2 is a living thing.

True or False. Bacteria are 100 times smaller than viruses.

The Main Idea of the Meet the Microbes article was to show that:

Viruses are tricky. We have to create vaccines to treat them. Why don't antibiotics work against viruses?

Which germs come in identifiable shapes when viewed under a microscope, like spheres, rods, or spirals?

True or False. A fungus was used in the making of the antibiotic, Penicillin.

In the, "What's Living Inside You?" video, Sir Alexander Fleming discovered Penicillin when mold was growing where?

Water-borne diseases are most likely caused by:
