Microbiology Ch 4
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| The study of small living organisms is called microbes | Microbiology |
| Germs or microbes | Bacteria |
| Disease-producing bacteria | Pathogenic |
| Nondisease-producing bacteria | Nonpathogenic |
| Nonpathogenic bacteria that live on dead matter | Saprophytes |
| The study of bacteria is called | Bacteriology |
| Bacteria’s 3 basic shapes | 1. Circular 2. Spiral 3. Rod-shaped |
| Spherical or round shaped bacterial cells, which appear singularly or in groups | Cocci |
| 3 Groups of Cocci | 1. Staphylococci 2. Streptococci 3. Diplococci |
| Pus forming bacterial cells that form grape like bunches or clusters and are present in abscesses, pustules and boils | Staphylococci |
| Pus forming bacterial cells, which form in long chains and can cause septicemia | Streptococci |
| Bacterial cells that grow in pairs and are the cause of certain infections, including pneumonia | Diplococci |
| Most common form of bacterial cells. Bar or rod shaped cells that produce a variety of diseases including tetanus, bacterial influenza, typhoid fever, tuberculosis and diphtheria | Bacilli |
| Spiraled, coiled, corkscrew-shaped bacterial cells that cause highly contagious diseases such as syphilis and cholera | Spirilla |
| During this stage, bacteria reproduce and grow rapidly | Active Stage |
| In this stage, bacteria is inactive or cells die | Inactive Stage |
| Bacilli and Spirilla move using hairlike projections called | Flagella or cilia |
| Sub-microscopic infectious agent that replicates itself only within cells of living hosts and many are pathogenic | Virus |
| Organisms that grow and feed on other living organisms which are referred to as hosts | External parasites |
| 2 parasitic animals | Pediculosis capitis (head lice) Scabies (itch mites) |
| Growth of a parasitic organism with in the body | Infection |
| Microorganisms are referred to as ________ and include viruses, bacteria, Protozoa and fungi | Pathogens |
| Caused by pathogenic bacteria or viruses that enter the body and multiply to the point of interfering with the body’s normal state. Transmitted through casual contact or exchange of body fluids | Infectious Disease |
| Infectious and can be communicable by casual contact but not always. | Contagious disease |
| Term used to describe the efforts to prevent the spread of disease and kill microbes | Infection Control |
| 3 Levels of control which include: | Sanitation, lowest level Disinfection, second level Sterilization, highest level |
| Prevention of the spread of infectious agents to you and your clients | Infection control |
| Comprise the 3 levels of infection control | Sanitation Disinfection Sterilization |
| Low-level destruction of surface bacteria | Sanitation |
| Eliminates bacteria, viruses and most organisms on inanimate non-porous surfaces. Recommended for all esthetic implements and surfaces | Disinfection |
| Eliminates all living organisms on non-porous surfaces, including bacterial spores that adhere to surgical instruments in medical treatment rooms | Sterilization |
| Arrest or prevent the growth of microorganisms on the skin | Antiseptics |
| Include hand washing, using personal protective equipment, such as gloves and safety glasses when necessary, an properly disinfecting all skin care implements and surfaces to prevent cross-contamination | Infection-control procedures |
| A set of guidelines established by the center for disease control, means using the same infection control practices on all clients. | Universal Precautions |
| Presents a risk for skin care professionals especially during facials, extractions and waxing | Exposure to blood |
| Removes microorganisms by lifting them from the surface of the skin. | Handwashing |
| Should be followed for all tools and implements that come in contact with blood or body fluids. High-level disinfection requires the use of EPA-registered hospital-level disinfectant and labeled as effective against HIV-1 and Hep B or Tuberculocidal | OSHA’s Bloodborne Pathogen Standard |
| Which means the ability to produce results, or effectiveness | Efficacy |
| Require sterilization since they come into contact with sterile tissue or the vascular system | Critical objects |
| Items need categorized as non-curtail, meaning they make contact with intact skin, need to be sanitized | Sanitation |
| Categorized as semi-critical, meaning they make make contact with mucous membranes or skin that is not intact (broken), need to be disinfected | Disinfection |
| Categorized as critical, meaning they are intended to enter tissue or come into contact with vascular system, need to be sterilized | Sterilization |
