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.
