Here’s an idea for an ID board game: Guess Who Bacterial Pathogens
A: “is your bug rod shaped?”
B: “Yes”
A: “is your bug Gram Positive?”
B: “weakly”
A: “does your bug have catalase!?”
B: “Yes!”
A: “You’re Nocardia!!!”
A: “is your bug rod shaped?”
B: “Yes”
A: “is your bug Gram Positive?”
B: “weakly”
A: “does your bug have catalase!?”
B: “Yes!”
A: “You’re Nocardia!!!”
A: “are you monotrichous?”
B: “yes”
A: “are you a facultative anaerobe?”
B: “yes!”
A: “are you Vibrio cholera?!?”
B: “yes!!!”
B: “yes”
A: “are you a facultative anaerobe?”
B: “yes!”
A: “are you Vibrio cholera?!?”
B: “yes!!!”
Ok I’ve decided to make this game in my garage.
Hopefully Hasbo won’t sue and my kids won’t be too mortally embarrassed to play.

My bad: Nocardia is gram positive but I should have said “is your bug acid fast?”
