    Study Notes

    Infectious Diseases and Microorganisms

    • AIDS: A serious condition caused by the HIV virus, weakening the immune system, making individuals more susceptible to infections.
    • Bacteria: One-celled microorganisms can be classified as pathogenic (harmful) or non-pathogenic (harmless).
    • Bacilli: Common, rod-shaped bacteria linked to diseases like tetanus, tuberculosis, and diphtheria.
    • Cocci: Round-shaped bacteria that can appear singularly or in groups, including diplococci which grow in pairs and cause pneumonia.
    • Spirilla: Spiral or corkscrew-shaped bacteria associated with diseases like syphilis and Lyme disease.
    • Staphylococci: Pus-forming bacteria growing in clusters; known for causing abscesses and boils.
    • Streptococci: Pus-forming bacteria in curved chains that can lead to infections such as strep throat.

    Types of Infections and Diseases

    • Contagious Disease: Easily spread by direct contact with an infected individual.
    • Occupational Disease: Illness arising from conditions in the workplace.
    • Parasitic Infections: Caused by organisms that rely on their hosts for nutrition, common in salons with exposure to clients.

    Immune Response and Health

    • Immunity: The body's ability to fend off infections.
    • Inflammation: Body's protective response to injury or infection, marked by redness and swelling.

    Cleaning and Disinfection

    • Sanitation: The process of cleaning to remove visible contaminants.
    • Disinfection: Eliminates most microorganisms but does not kill spores. Disinfectants can destroy bacteria, fungi, and viruses on surfaces.
    • Sterilization: Complete eradication of all microbial life, including spores.
    • Virucidal: Disinfectants capable of destroying viruses, crucial in maintaining health standards in salons.

    Safety and Prevention

    • Bloodborne Pathogens: Disease-causing microorganisms from blood or body fluids, necessitating precautions in health settings.
    • Universal Precautions: Guidelines to treat all blood and body fluids as potentially infectious; emphasizes safety in handling materials.
    • Exposure Incident: Any contact with potentially infectious materials, requiring immediate attention and reporting.

    Chemical Agents

    • Antiseptics: Formulated for skin application to prevent infections.
    • Disinfectants vs. Antiseptics: Disinfectants destroy microorganisms on surfaces while antiseptics are safer for skin exposure.
    • Phenolics: Powerful disinfectants effective against tuberculosis.
    • Quaternary Ammonium Compounds: Safe disinfectants commonly used in salons, known as "quats."
    • Sodium Hypochlorite: Household bleach effective as a disinfectant in salon environments.

    Other Important Terms

    • Microorganism: General term for microscopic organisms, both pathogenic and non-pathogenic.
    • Fungi: Microscopic plant parasites including molds and yeasts; some are useful, while others can be harmful.
    • Multi-use vs. Single-use items: Multi-use items can be cleaned and reused, while single-use items are disposable after one use to prevent contamination.

    Key Prevention Practices

    • Allergy: Reaction to sensitivities that can include chemicals and foods; important to note for client safety.
    • Cilia and Flagella: Structures that help certain bacteria move, impacting their ability to spread.
    • Mildews: A type of fungus that can affect inanimate objects but not typically human health in salons.

    Understanding these concepts is vital for maintaining a safe and healthy salon environment, adhering to industry standards, and providing effective client care.
