Ok, I guess I'll post the next questions.

1. List 4 types of direct transmission and 4 different types of indirect transmission.
2. What is a good treatment for botulism?
3. Give an example of healthy worker effect.
4. What is the formula for chi-squares?

Direct: kissing, touching lesions, isitokifidontspellitouthere, and droplet spread
Indirect: foodborne, vector borne, airborne, fomites (idk if this is the type of answer u wanted)
A good treatment for botulism is botulinum antitoxin.
Healthy worker: workers have lower overall death rates than other people because they are less likely to have chronic illness or be extremely young or old.
Chi-squares: (in division b so this is googled) sigma square of observed result minus expected result divided by the expected result.

What is Gram staining? What does Gram positive mean? What does Gram negative mean? Name a species of bacteria that is Gram positive, name one that is Gram negative, and name one that is neither.

Gram staining is a method used to differenciate between Gram positive and gram negative bacteria. Gram positive means that the bacteria has this thing called peptidoglycan. Gram negative means that it does not have it. Gram positive: L. monocytogenes Gram negative: salmonella typhi Neither: Mycoplasmataceae
