1C, 2E, 3D, 4B, 5A Yersinia pestis is a facultative anaerobic gram-negative bacterium responsible for causing plague which is transferred through the infected rats. Plague bacillus is usually infective to rodents and it spreads among them by rat fleas. After the death of rats, these fleas leave carcass that bite human causing bubonic plague. HSV-2 causes herpes in genital tract and it is a sexually communicated disorder. It is extremely contagious while blisters are found and transmitted through straight sexual contact. Neisseria gonorrhoeae is an aerobic gram-negative bacterium causing venereal disorder gonorrhoea. The disease is accomplished by sexual contact. In males, it begins as subtle urethritis and in females, urethra and cervix become infected. Bordetella pertussis causes whooping cough. Children get more affected by this infection than adults. The disease is characterised by paroxysmal cough which results with inspiratory crowing sound or “whoop”. Shigellae are categorised into 4 species. Shigellae are mainly responsible for causing bacillary dysentery. Infection takes place by ingestion and some cells are sufficient to begin the disease.
