Kharaa Bacterium

==Summary==
Kharaa is an alien bacterium discovered by the Precursor Race during the exploration of an unknown planet. Kharaa's biological design is far more drastic than any disease known to mankind as, as stated by the PDA, Kharaa is unlike any infection thus discovered in human history, with even the hyper-advanced Precursor Race failing to find a cure for it. It is stated in Precursor data that the Kharaa bacterium has killed over 143 billion individuals over the course of time since its discovery, though this number is likely much higher as this is only the number of "Confirmed Deaths", which could imply further dead beyond what was known. It is so deadly that it forced the Precursor Race to quarantine the entirety of planet 4546B and shoot down any approaching or departing spacecraft to prevent it from spreading.
Kharaa spreads extremely quickly, having contaminated and decimated planet 4546B's entire ecosystem and wiping out nearly all life on the planet in a short period of time. Kharaa has a relatively fast incubation period, incubating in two weeks and quickly killing its host after it reaches a substantial infection level, with symptoms of the disease occurring in as little as three hours after initial exposure. It accomplishes this by shutting down the immune system, causing genetic mutation to the host's DNA, and causing alterations to the body structure, eventually leading to a total shutdown of the organism due to its inability to keep functioning properly. The bacterium is capable of entering the body through the skin, and causes an increase in aggression in its host.
