Game time:Name the mystery virus/bacteria

[ChouDoufu]

antibiotics perhaps? LOL LOL

assimilate, damn ye! it's germ-thinner!!

 

[Bina]

HA!..........and it seems to be MissMelis' turn to pick out a favourite virus/bacteria to try and stump us with.
Oh, what fun this is!

 

[Lisa in Katy]

You people are just plain weird! Yes, it's Chlamydia. My 3rd clue could be wrong. Apparently the Clap is used to refer to Chlamydia and Gonnorrhea. Hey, I never said I was an expert on STDs!

Here is a link for Infectious Awareables that some of you might be interested in.

Ross, go to the bottom and click on Giant Microbes. You might find something to replace your Ugly Doll obsession. And perhaps Dyna can find a new avatar!

 

[Bina]

Weird is good. Me like weird.
Let's pick out that new avatar for Dyna.....Giant sperm giving me bad dreams.....

 

[Lisa in Katy]

Oh Dyna! Here's your missing brain cell! Or perhaps it belongs to Chou or Bina?

 

[Bina]

I think Ross is gonna want that cute little brain cell.

 

[MissMelis]

ooh, i know...how about a........gonorrhiffic degree.

or at least a gonorrhable mention.

MissMelis would be the winner........Lisa needs to come up with a prize.....antibiotics perhaps?
LOL LOL

Oooo, antibiotics?! <gag> Thanks fer nuthin'. I should at least get some of the GOOD drugs that make you see Lucky Charms on your walls!

Gonorrhable mention. <cackle>. Love it.

 

[Lisa in Katy]

I'm sure I have some leftover Vicodin in the medicine cabinet that I kept for "emergency situations". Will that do? Warning - it might be expired!

 

[MissMelis]

If it's expired, won't that just make the hearts, moons, stars and clovers even brighter?!

 

[Ross]

Actually MRSA looked pretty cool to me. Still doesn't beat the Hungry doll though.

 

[Dina]

You people are just plain weird! Yes, it's Chlamydia. My 3rd clue could be wrong.

But your picture was best clue of all, since the bacteria are purple(gram+)
,and gonorrhea is gram -,shows pink when stained. But.. I missed it anyway..in spite of
all the good clues you gave us and the fact that micro biology was one of my favorite subjects...oh well.

 

[Ross]

Here's a new one:

 

[Dina]

This one must be photographed on a scanning electron microscope- so it could be viral,bacterial or fungal. Well I can tell its NOT a filovirus like Ebola
or Marburg...that one looks like a mess of undercooked spaghetti when
there are many together.
So,if its bacteria it could be a gram negative rod and kinda looks like ecoli..?
edit- OR Shigella,Legionella,haemophlius meningitis..?

 

[Freddie]

Tuberculosis?

 

[Bina]

My guess is that it's a close up of Ross's red shag carpet.
SHAGADELIC...!!

Well one of those is correct.

 

[Bina]

If it ain't the shag rug.....I'll go with E-Coli.

 

[Ross]

Not E Coli.

 

[Bina]

Did you scrape it off of your body or off of the cat?

 

[Bina]

Legionella....thanks to Dina.
