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.
