Two Ways Bacteria Cause Disease Produce Toxins (Food poisoning) Damage Tissue

Controlling Bacterial Growth
Antibiotics – Slows growth; does not kill bacteria Disinfectants – Chemical that kills bacteria Sterilization – Heat, pressure, gas that kills bacteria Refrigeration – Slows growth; does not kill bacteria Canning – High heat to kill bacteria Chemical Treatments – Preservatives in food; slows growth; does not kill

Retroviruses Have RNA which needs Reverse Transcriptase
to convert into DNA and then added into host DNA for replication of virus
