name the 5 chains of infection
infectious agent
reservoir
portal of exit
mode of transmission
portal of entry
susceptible host
is any microorganism that causes an infectious
disease.
Pathogen
are unicellular parasites that can replicate and multiply rapidly once inside the host.
Protozoa
COCCI
what is the difference between Aerobic or Anaerobic?
Aerobic - with oxygen
Anaerobic- without
Examples of pathogens are? (3)
Fungi- Mold, Ringworm, yeast, Candidiasis (thrush)
Bacteria-Antibiotic
Viruses- Lipid Layer
Protozoa- Single celled parasite
Rickettsia – Carried by ticks, mites, fleas, or lice
tiny, simple (unicellular) cells that produce disease. Can live outside the body on inanimate objects (Tx antibiotics)
Bacteria
for Escherichia coli (E. coli) give me an example of the diseases it causes and transmission/ risk factors
UTIs, food poisoning, traveler's diarrhea
Contaminated food, poor hygiene
for Clostridium difficile give me an example of the disease it can cause and treatment/ risk factor
Antibiotic-associated diarrhea, colitis
Overuse of antibiotics, hospitals
are eukaryotic organisms that thrive in warm, moist environments. They cause infections mostly
in the skin, nails, and respiratory system.
Fungi
this pathogen causes athletes foot
Tinea pedis

Direct skin/mucosal contact
give me 3 examples of reservoir host
People
Food
Vectors
Instruments
Exam tables
Mode of transmission include?
direct transmission
droplet
indirect transmission
give me 2 examples of Physical and chemical barriers.
Skin (integumentary system)
Cilia
Tears
Mucous membranes
pH of body fluids
Defecation and vomiting
what is the Inflammatory Response?
Erythema
Edema
Pain
Heat
are infections people get while they are receiving health care for another condition.
Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs)
Give me 3 examples of Infectious Materials
Blood
Body fluids (Blood, urine, saliva, vaginal secretions, wound drainage, etc.
Any equipment that has perrced the skin or entered the body
Soiled linens
Other Potential Infectious Materials (OPIM)
name 3 objects that go in the sharps bin
Needles
Metal tools
Lancets
Glass
a medical emergency caused by the body's response to an infection and can be life-threatening. Affects the functioning of vital organs.
sepsis
“USING A CLEAN TECHNIQUE
TO MAINTAIN CLEANLINESS
AND REDUCE THE NUMBER
OF MICROORGANISMS”
Medical Asepsis
THE DESTRUCTION OF ALL
ORGANISMS. THIS
TECHNIQUE IS USED FOR ANY
PROCEDURE THAT ENTERS

TISSUES, SUCH AS SURGERY
OR INJECTIONS.
Surgical Asepsis

pathogens and spores.
