Maybe this will help.

In the hope of some of this actually sticking this time, I present to you R's exciting list of things I can't remember in micro, no matter how many times I go over my flashcards (distinguished from things I can't remember because I haven't had *time* to go over them yet):

-you can't diagnose Lyme disease from a CSF smear (why would you want to?)
-hepatitis C blocks apoptosis and interferon
-clue cells are pathognomonic for vaginitis/vaginosis/vagineesis (Yes, I made that last one up).
-campylobacteria are catalase positive and don't eat sugar
-Typhus has a Brill-Zinnser carrier state (whatever that means)
-TTP occurs in the elderly and HUS in children with EHEC. Antibiotics will kill them! (the people, that is. Not the EHEC's. Though they do kills those as well. That's why the people die. Uh, nevermind.)
-cholera has a phage-coded toxin
-rabies is diagnosed with dFA. (so is everything else. Except the things that aren't)
-herpes blocks IFN, CTL, and IgG.
-EEE, VEE, and WEE are different, even though they're pretty much the same. (I refuse to learn anything more about them, entirely on principle)
