🗑
What is virulence?   show
🗑
show invasion and multiplication of microorganisms (bacteria, fungi, viruses and parasites)  
🗑
show multiplication of organism  
🗑
show microorganisms of human body (normal-naturally occurring on our body/resident-microorganisms that live on us that don't make us sick (carrier)/transient-transfer of natural or resident bacteria to another human);  
🗑
show *overgrowth of normal flora (makes us sick b/c out of balance) *can result from treatment w/broad spectrum antimicrobial drug that alters normal flora  
🗑
Describe Transient flora.   show
🗑
show 6 steps for microorganism to demonstrate disease: a) Encounter b) Entry c) Spread (must overcome host immune system) d) Multiplication (incubation) e) Damage (now making patient sick) f) Outcome (1 - fight it off/2 - established/3 - compromise)  
🗑
show 4 essential links 1 - HOST 2 - INFECTIOUS ORGANISM 3 - MODE OF TRANSMISSION (exogenous or endogenous) 4 - RESERVOIR (site where organism lives/transmits disease)  
🗑
