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.
