Study Notes
Infection and Bacterial Invasiveness
- Invasiveness refers to a microorganism's ability to overcome the body's normal defenses and cause disease.
- Types of infections include acute vs. chronic, local vs. systemic, primary vs. secondary.
- Pathogens can enter and leave the body through various routes, including the respiratory tract, digestive tract, skin, mucous membrane, genitourinary system, and blood.
- Bacteria use various invasive mechanisms, including capsules, fimbriae, exotoxin, leukocidins, and enzymes such as hyaluronidase, kinase, collagenase, and endotoxin.
- The disease stages include infection, incubation, prodromal period, acute period, decline period, and convalescent period.
- The host defense system includes non-specific disease (innate immunity) and specific body defense (adaptive immunity).
- The first line of defense includes skin, mucus membrane, tears, interferon, fibroblast I, leukocyte I, and T-lymphocytes I.
- The second line of defense includes phagocytosis, granulocytes, neutrophils, basophils, eosinophil, monocytes, histiocytes, and wandering cells.
- The burst of metabolic activity within phagocytes during phagocytosis involves glycogenolysis, glycolysis, NADPH oxidase, superoxide anions, hydrogen peroxide, myeloperoxidase, and chloride ion.
- Other enzymes used in the phagolysosome during degranulation include lysozyme and lactoferrin.
- The stages of inflammation include swelling, redness, pain, and blood vessel enlargement.
- Types of immunity include active and passive immunity, with examples of natural and artificial immunity.
- Antibodies include IgG, IgM, IgA, IgE, and IgD, which have different functions in the body.
