Study Notes
Bacteriology and Bacteria Types
- Bacteriology studies bacteria, fundamental in understanding infections.
- Microbe is a synonym for germ or bacteria.
- Non-pathogenic bacteria are harmless and beneficial to human health.
- Saprophytes are non-pathogenic bacteria that decompose dead matter.
- Pathogenic bacteria can cause harm and disease in the human body.
- Pathogenic bacteria are responsible for infections, disease production, and toxin generation.
Communicable Diseases
- Communicable diseases are those that can spread from person to person.
- Examples include the common cold, hepatitis, and measles.
- The common cold is caused by a filterable virus.
Bacterial Shapes
- Cocci refers to spherical-shaped bacteria.
- Streptococci are pus-forming cocci in long chains that can cause blood poisoning.
- Bacilli are rod-shaped bacteria.
- Spirilla are coiled, corkscrew-shaped bacteria; they cause diseases like Lyme disease.
Infection and Entry Points
- Bacteria can enter the body through the nose, mouth, and broken skin.
- Bacteria grow by absorbing food and can divide to create two new cells.
Bacterial Growth Stages
- Bacteria can enter an inactive stage forming spores, remaining dormant until favorable conditions return.
- Disinfectants are ineffective against bacteria in the spore-forming stage.
Viral Infections and Immunity
- Immunity signifies the body's ability to combat infectious agents.
- HIV attacks the immune system, reducing its effectiveness.
- Human Hepatitis B is a highly infectious disease affecting the liver and can spread via blood, semen, and body fluids.
Parasites and Infections
- External parasites derive nutrients from another organism.
- Contagious diseases can include fungi, mites, and bacteria.
Precautions and Infection Control
- Universal precautions involve methods like disinfecting salon equipment.
- Infection control includes sanitation, disinfection, and sterilization.
- Antiseptics reduce microbes on the skin; sanitation can be demonstrated through handwashing.
Disinfection Practices
- Tools must be disinfected after each use.
- The disinfectant solution should be changed according to manufacturer recommendations.
- Combs and brushes require disinfection after each use; previously used implements must be cleaned before immersion.
Storage and Labeling of Disinfectants
- Disinfectants should be stored in labeled containers in a cool, dry space.
- Precautions with disinfectants include storage in small quantities and labeling containers to prevent misuse.
Handling Blood Spill Situations
- "Double bagging" is a protocol during blood spills, and potential contact materials must be disposed of in labeled double bags.
- Effective first aid steps for bleeding include applying a bandage after bleeding ceases.
Sterilization and Infection Control Standards
- Tools that penetrate the skin must be either sterilized or disposable.
- Sterilization standards can involve liquid sterilants or dry heat.
- Sanitation is regarded as the lowest level of infection control.
