Invasion of body tissues by disease causing pathogens
What is Infection
Any organism of microscopic or submicroscopic size
What is microorganism
The six classifications of pathogenic bacteria
What are cocci, staphylococci, streptococci, diplococci, bacilli, spirilla
Term used to describe self movement
What is motility
During this stage, bacteria grow and reproduce.
What is the Active stage
Refers to the methods used to eliminate or reduce the transmission of infectious organisms
What is Infection Control
One-celled microorganisms that have both plant and animal characteristics
What are bacteria
Round shaped bacteria that appear singly or in groups
What is cocci
Rarely demonstrate motility and are generally transmitted in air, dust or within substance in which they settle
What are cocci
When bacteria grow reach their largest size, they divide into two new cells. This division is called?
Binary Fission
4 types of microorganisms
What are bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites
Can exist on skin, in water, in the air, in decayed matter, on environmental surfaces, in body secretion, on clothing, or under free edge of nails
What are bacteria
Pus-forming bacteria that grow in clusters like bunches of grapes and cause abscess, pustules and boils. Some may not cause infections in humans and others may be deadly
What is Staphylococci
______ and _____ are both capable of movement and use hair like extensions called ___ for locomotion
What are bacilli and spirilla
What is flagella
The stage where a bacteria that is capable of forming a spore to protect itself does so to withstand an environment incompatible with its existence
What is the inactive or spore-forming stage
Caused by pathogenic organisms that enter body
What is Infectious Disease
Most bacteria are ________. Meaning they are harmless organisms that may perform useful functions and are safe to come in contact with since they don’t cause disease or harm
What is nonpathogenic
Pus-forming bacteria arranged in curved lines resembling string of beads. Cause infections such as strep throat and blood poisoning
What is Streptococci
Refer to _______ in reference to cell movement but are much shorter than flagella and require many more to create movement
The ability of certain types of bacteria to form a hard keratin coating that will protect it until the environment is more favourable
What is bacterial spore
Name 3 categories that disinfectants used in salon must be capable of, in order to prevent the spread of infection and disease
What are bactericidal, virucidal, fungicidal
___________ bacteria are harmful microorganisms that can cause disease or infection in humans when they invade the body
What is pathogenic
Name these 3:
1. Are spherical bacteria that grow in pairs and cause diseases such as pneumonia
2. Short, rod-shaped bacteria. Most common bacteria and produce diseases such as tetanus, typhoid fever, tuberculosis and diphtheria
3. Spiral or corkscrew shaped bacteria that are subdivided into subgroups such as syphillis, STD and Lyme disease
What are Diplococci, Bacilli and Spirilla
_________ move in snake like motion, while ______ move in a rowing-like motion
What are flagella and cilia
The cells that are formed through the binary fission process are called
What are daughter cells
