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.
