  4. Viruses • A virus is a small infectious agent that can replicate only inside the living cells of organisms. • They infect all types of organisms from animals and plants to bacteria and archaea. • Five thousand viruses have been described in detail even though there are millions of different types. • Viruses can be found in almost every ecosystem on Earth & are the most abundant type of biological entity. • The study of viruses is called virology. • Virus particles are divided in 3 parts; genetic material, DNA, & long molecules that carry genetic information.

  5. Gonorrhea • Gonorrhea is a common STD caused by the bacterium, neisseria gonorrhoeae. • Over half of the gonorrhea cases have no symptoms. However, if there are symptoms, they are throat, anus, urethra & rectum. • The treatment is commonly with ceftriaxone as antibiotic resistance has developed to many previously used medications.
