The science that deals with the study of microorganisms
Bacteriology
-
One-celled microorganisms with both plant and animal characteristics
Bacteria
-
Exist everywhere-skin, water, air, decaying matter, secretions from body openings, clothes and beneath nails
Bacteria (can only be seen with an aid of a microscope magnified 1000x)

Non-pathogenic
-
70% of bacteria are.....
Non-pathogenic
-
Decaying matter (Non-pathogenic)

Found in the digestive track/medications (antibiotics)
Non-pathogenic bacteria
-
30% of becteria are....
Pathogenic
-
Pathogenic bacteria are also called
Microbes/germs
-
3 classifications of pathogenic bacteria
Cocci, bacilli, spirilla
-
3 types of cocci
Diplococci, streptococci, staphlococci
-
Appear in pairs and responsible for pneumonia
Diplococci (di=two)
-
Pus forming bacteria, arranged in curved lines resembling a string of beads. Responsible for strep throat and blood poisoning
Streptococci (strep=strand)
-
Pus forming bacteria that appears in clusters. Responsible for abscesses, pustules, and boils
Staphlococci (staph= like strapped together)
-
Short or rod shaped bacteria. Responsible for tetanus (lock jaw), tuberculosis, influenza
Bacilli
-
Spiral or corkscrew shaped. Responsible for syphilis and Lyme disease
Spirilla
-
-
Rarely shows active movement. Transmitter through air, dust, or the substance in which they settle
Cocci
-
Hair like extensions that help with motility
Flagella or cilia
-
Bacterias that move with the aid of flagella/cilia
Bacilli and sprillia
-
Stage in which bacteria grow and reproduce
Active or vegetative
-
Best conditions in which bacteria reproduce
Warm, dark,damp,dirty places
-
When bacteria reach their macimum size they divide into two new cells. This process is called...
Mitosis
-
The stage in which conditions are unfavorable for bacteria to reproduce. They form a tough outer covering and are able to withstand periods of unfavorable conditions
Inactive or spore forming stage
-
Occurs when the body is invaded by disease causing pathogenic bacteria
Infection
-
An infection confined to a particular part of the body (pimple)
Local infection
-
Results when the bloodstream carries the toxins from bacteria to all parts of the body (syphilis)
General infection
-
Rapid onset, severe symptoms, and short duration
Acute disease (small, short)
-
Long duration, usually mild but reoccurring
Chronic disease
-
Exist at birth
Congenital disease
-
Transmitted by contact
Contagious/communicable
-
Caused by pathogenic microorganisms or viruses that is easily spread
Infectious/pathogenic disease
-
Resulting from conditions of employment
Occupational disease
-
Disease caused by vegetables or animal parasites
Parasitic disease
-
Disease influenced by weather
Seasonal disease
-
Disease caused by the body
Systemic disease
-
Disease caused by contact with an infected person during sexual contact
Venereal disease
-
Symptoms felt
Subjective symptoms
-
Symptoms seen
Objective symptoms
-
2 agencies that say a business that serves the public must follow certain sanitary precautions
Occupational safety and Health administration (OSHA) and environmental protection Agency (EPA)
-
Various poisonous substances produced by some microorganisms
Toxin
-
Resistance to a disease
Immunity
-
Submicroscopic structure that is capable of infecting almost all plants and animals INCLUDING bacteria
Viruses
-
Lives only by penetrating cells and becoming a part of them. Hard to kill without harming the body. Electron microscope magnified to 1,000,000x
Viruses
-
4 types of viruses to be concerned about in a salon
- Common cold
- Respiratory infection
- Hepatitis
- HIV/AIDS
-
Disease causing bacteria or viruses that are carried through the body in the blood or bodily flluids
Blood borne pathogens
-
4 types of blood borne pathogens
-
Vegetable or animal organisms that live on or in another organism and draw nourishment from that organism (HOST)
Parasites
-
-
Mold, mildew, and yeasts produce diseases such as favus and a ringworm. contracted through unclean implements. moisture trapped underneath nail . Usually yellowish green in color. Treatment is usually applied directly to infected area.
Fungi
-
-
Seeds on the scalp itching occurs and scratching can cause infection
head lice
-
Head lice is also known as
Pediculosis capitis
-
Animal parasite that burrows underneath skin
Itch mite ( scabies)
-
The duty of the body to destroy bacteria and viruses and resist infection
Immunity
-
Partly inherited and partly through hygienic living
Natural immunity
-
Immunity the body develops after it overcomes a disease or receives a vaccination
Acquired immunity
