| Transposition Segment of DNA (eg, transposon) that can “jump” (excision and reintegration) from one location to another, can transfer genes from what to what and vice versa? | Segment of DNA (eg, transposon) that can “jump” (excision and reintegration) from one location to another, can transfer genes from plasmid to chromosome and vice versa. |
| Transposition When excision occurs, it may include some what, which can be incorporated into a plasmid and transferred to another bacterium? | When excision occurs, may include some flanking chromosomal DNA, which can be incorporated into a plasmid and transferred to another bacterium (eg, vanA gene from vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus to S aureus). |

| What are examples of spore-forming bacteria? | Bacillus anthracis - Anthrax Bacillus cereus - Food poisoning Clostridium botulinum - Botulism Clostridium difficile - Pseudomembranous colitis Clostridium perfringens - Gas gangrene Clostridium tetani - Tetanus |
| Some bacteria can form spores - when? | Some bacteria can form spores A at the end of the stationary phase when nutrients are limited |
| Some bacteria can form spores at the end of the stationary phase when what are limited? | Some bacteria can form spores at the end of the stationary phase when nutrients are limited. |
| Spores are highly resistant to what? | Spores are highly resistant to heat and chemicals. |
