91
Q

Conjugation…

A

bacterial w/ fertility factor transfers genetic material to another bacteria by direct contact

92
Q

Transformation…

A

direct uptake/incorporation of exogenous material genetically alters a cell

93
Q

Transduction…

A

virus transfers DNA from 1 bacteria to another via bacteriophage

94
Q

Metabolism: Require oxygen for growth…

Q

In Birds, “Bumble Foot” is caused by…

A

Staphylococcus aureus

106
Q

You have a Giemsa stained smear displaying a negatively stained bacteria from a dog w/ a SubQ nodular lesion. What bacteria is on the top of your DDx list?
