Study Notes
Microbiology and Bacteria
- Microbiology is the study of small living organisms, including bacteria.
- Bacteria are one-celled microorganisms that can be harmless or harmful.
- Bacteriology specifically focuses on the study of bacteria.
Types of Bacteria
- Nonpathogenic bacteria do not cause disease and can be beneficial.
- Pathogenic bacteria are disease-producing and can lead to infections.
- Staphylococci are pus-forming bacteria arranged in clusters, commonly found in abscesses and boils.
- Streptococci form in long chains and can cause severe illnesses like strep throat and rheumatic fever.
- Diplococci grow in pairs and are associated with infections such as pneumonia.
- Bacilli refer to rod-shaped bacterial cells.
- Spirilla are coiled, screw-shaped bacteria linked to Lyme disease.
Diseases and Infections
- Communicable diseases can be transmitted from person to person, examples include the common cold and measles.
- Human hepatitis B (HBV) is a highly infectious disease affecting the liver.
- HIV leads to the immune system breakdown and increases vulnerability to illnesses.
Infection Transmission and Resistance
- Healthy skin acts as a barrier, preventing bacteria from entering the body.
- Pathogenic bacteria are not beneficial to the environment and can cause illnesses.
- The inactive stage of bacteria is characterized by a lack of growth and can be resistant to disinfectants when in spore-forming form.
Infection Control
- Infection control strategies are categorized into sanitation, disinfection, and sterilization.
- Anti-septics can be applied to the skin to reduce microbes.
- Disinfectants destroy or kill bacteria and some viruses but not bacterial spores.
Regulatory Agencies and Safety
- OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) enforces workplace safety and health standards.
- MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) provides crucial product information, including hazards and storage requirements.
- Products must have an EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) registration number to confirm safety and efficacy.
Key Terminology
- Cilia and flagella are hair-like structures that help bacteria move.
- Syphilis is a general infection affecting the entire body.
- Immunity refers to the body's ability to destroy infectious agents.
Contagious Conditions
- Contagious diseases can spread easily, while flagella are not contagious.
- Pediculosis is another name for head lice, a type of infestation.
