Study Notes

Antimicrobials and Microorganisms

An antimicrobial substance, such as an antiseptic or disinfectant, acts on bacteria or fungi.

Disease and Pathogens

Diseases are produced by pathogenic microorganisms.
Examples of diseases caused by microorganisms include:
- Legionellosis (a disease caused by Legionella bacteria)
- Onychomycosis (a fungal infection of the nail)
- Septic arthritis (caused by infectious diseases such as Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, and Haemophilus influenzae)
- Anthrax (caused by Bacillus anthracis)
- Zoster herpes (caused by the Varicella-zoster virus)
- Tuberculosis (caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis)
- Rheumatic fever (caused by Streptococcus pyogenes)
- Osteomyelitis (caused by Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, and Haemophilus influenzae)
- Gas gangrene (caused by Clostridium perfringens)
- Tetanus (caused by Clostridium tetani)
- Molluscum contagiosum (caused by the Molluscum contagiosum virus)
- Cholera (caused by Vibrio cholerae)
- Typhoid fever (caused by Salmonella Typhi)

Immunity and Defense Mechanisms

Lysozyme, found in saliva, tears, and other bodily fluids, is a defense mechanism against microorganisms.
Interferons are proteins that help fight viral infections.
Innate or non-specific immunity refers to the body's first line of defense against pathogens.
Immune-poresors are not a valid term (可能是"immune suppressors", meaning substances that suppress the immune system).

Transmission and Epidemiology

HIV can be transmitted through sexual contact, as well as through blood transfusions, organ transplants, and from mother to child during pregnancy or childbirth.
Infectious diseases can be transmitted through various routes, including contaminated food and water, and person-to-person contact.
Notifiable diseases, such as cholera and tuberculosis, must be reported to public health authorities.

Viruses and Vaccines

Inactivated virus vaccines are used to prevent diseases caused by viruses.
Examples of viral diseases include measles, caused by the measles virus, and molluscum contagiosum, caused by the Molluscum contagiosum virus.

Bacterial Infections

Escherichia coli (E. coli) is a bacterium that can cause gastroenteritis.
Non-bacterial gastroenteritis can be caused by viruses, such as norovirus.
The symptoms of scalded skin syndrome, a skin disease, are due to the production of exotoxins by Staphylococcus aureus bacteria.
