Answer:
Pulmonary plague, septic plague and bubonic plague.
Explanation:
So, Yersinia pestis is a rod-shaped bacterium. This microorganism can affect humans through the flea Xenopsylla cheopis. Then, the disease can manifest in three ways: pulmonary plague, septic plague or bubonic plague.
Pneumonic plague is the form of the disease that infects the lungs and its symptoms begin abruptly two to three days after exposure to bacteria. Patients have a high fever, chills, fast heart rate and often severe headaches.
Another form of the disease is the septicemic plague and the infection spreads in the bloodstream. The most common symptoms are nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain.
Finally, bubonic plague, or also known as the minor plague, is a milder form of the disease that affects the lymphatic system and its symptoms are swollen lymph nodes, fever, headache, and exhaustion.
The complement system is part of the innate immune system.

Answer: CFU/mL = 14200 CFU/mL
Explanation:
Microorganisms are very small and difficult to count directly. Instead, a laboratory technique is used to count CFUs (Colony Formation Units). This involves making dilutions of a microbial suspension and spreading it on thin layers of agar containing nutrients for growth in Petri dishes also called agar plates. After incubation under ideal conditions, some plates are completely covered with microbial growth; some have little or no growth; and some are covered with individual isolated "spots", which are microbial colonies. Since a colony may consist of a single organism or a group of microbes, the dots represent a CFU.
To calculate the viable count of the stock culture, you have to count the number of colonies, multiply by the dilution and the result will be the plate count in CFU.
So, the equation is:
CFU/mL = Number of colonies / (Volume trasferred to plate x dilution blank)
100 microliters = 0.1 mililiter
1/10 = 0.1 (dilution factor)
Replacing the information from the question:
CFU/mL = 142 / (0.1 mL x 0.1)
CFU/mL = 14200 CFU/mL
