This Gram Positive Non-Spore Forming Bacilli coats the membranes of the upper airway and can be life threatening. Symptoms include weakness, sore throat, and swelling of neck glands. Complications include blocking of the airway, damage to the heart muscle, inflammation of the nerves, paralysis, and lung infections. This bacteria is spread by respiratory droplets produced by coughing and sneezing. Which bacteria does this describe and what is the best treatment for this bacteria?

This Gram Negative Coccobacilli is highly communicable, fatal if not promptly treated, and has a characteristic sound. The bacteria attaches to the cilia of the respiratory epithelial cells, produce toxins that paralyze the cilia, and cause inflammation of the respiratory tract, which interferes with the cleaning of pulmonary secretions. Which of the following bacteria is being described?

How many types of Bacillus Anthracis are there?

When draping the sterile field, the scrubbed person would do all of the following except:

This graph shows which of the following?  

Gram Negative Coccobacilli _____________ causes pneumonia, epiglottitis, and otitis media in children. This Gram Negative Coccobacilli bacteria is the most important causing respiratory infections. It is noncapsulated; therefore most infections occur with an impaired host.

There are two main groups of bacteria: Gram Positive and Gram Negative. Which of the following defines the difference between Gram Positive and Gram Negative?

Which of the following best describes the function of genes?

If a pressure tank is 100% full then the analog signal on a gauge reads 20psi.  If the tank is 0% full then the analog signal reads 2psi.  Assuming that the gauge psi scales linearly, how full is the tank if the gauge is signaling [a]psi?  Give your answer to the nearest whole percent.

Nasopharyngeal cultures are useful in identifying what two Gram Negative bacteria?          I.     Haemophilus influenzea          II.    Bordatella Pertussis          III.   Staphlococcus aureus          IV.   Neisseria Meningitidis
