Study Notes

Bacteria and Their Types

  • One-celled microorganisms known as germs or microbes are called bacteria.
  • Pathogenic bacteria refer to those that cause diseases; parasites are a type of pathogenic bacteria.
  • Nonpathogenic bacteria do not cause disease and can be beneficial, contributing to processes like decomposition.
  • Saprophytes are bacteria that feed on dead organic matter.
  • Cocci are round-shaped bacteria, while bacilli are rod-shaped.
  • Spirilla are bacteria with a corkscrew or spiral shape.

Infections and Contagious Diseases

  • Syphilis is caused by the spirilla bacteria Treponema pallida, demonstrating a general infection example.
  • Signs of bacterial infection can include pus.
  • Viruses cause diseases such as measles and hepatitis, transmitted via contact or body fluids.

Immunity and Contamination

  • Immunity represents the body's ability to resist infections.
  • Surfaces in the salon, despite their appearance, are often contaminated and require regular decontamination.

Levels of Decontamination

  • The three main levels of decontamination include sterilization, disinfection, and sanitation.
  • Sterilization kills all microbial life, including bacterial spores, while disinfection is typically used on nonporous surfaces.
  • The proper practice for tools in healthcare facilities is sterilization.

Disinfectants and Safety

  • Disinfectants must be approved by individual states and the EPA and can be too strong for use on skin or hair.
  • The Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) outlines storage and safety information for products, mandated by federal law.
  • OSHA regulates and enforces workplace safety standards and requires specific disinfectants for tools coming into contact with blood or body fluids.

Procedures and Regulations

  • Implements must be cleaned before soaking in disinfectants and should be removed from disinfectants using tongs or gloves.
  • Linens in contact with a client’s skin must be laundered in bleach after each use.
  • Foot spas require thorough cleaning and disinfection after each client to maintain hygiene.

Sanitation and Hand Hygiene

  • Sanitation is the lowest level of decontamination, exemplified by washing brushes with detergent.
  • It’s critical to wash hands thoroughly with soap and warm water before and after each service to prevent infection spread.
  • Antiseptics are considered sanitizers used in the salon.

Infection Control Guidelines

  • Universal Precautions are the guidelines established by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for infection control practices.
