Revision Short Essay Compare Eukaryotic cells: Cells containing membrane bound nucleus (true nucleus). Prokaryotic cells: Cells in which DNA is not separated physically from cytoplasm (No true nucleus). Compare Bacteria Unicellular organisms Contain both DNA & RNA No true nucleus >>> prokaryotic Viruses Acellular Consist of DNA or RNA core Obligate intracellular pathogen Complete The cell envelope includes: Capsule Cell wall Cell (Plasma) membrane Mention Functions of cell wall: Shape Osmotic protection Mention functions of the following: Ribosomes: Protein synthesis Flagella: Movement Pili: Attachment Mention Functions of cell membrane includes: 1. Transport of nutrients into cell 2. Transport of waste out of cell 3. Contain enzymes of respiration Define Endospore: Inactive form of the bacteria (dormant). Resist adverse environmental conditions: ✓ Dryness ✓ High temperatures ✓ Bactericidal agents ✓ Nutritional deficiency Mention Types of Normal Flora: Resident Transient They inhabit body sites They are found for extended periods temporarily They are not removed by They are removed by routine hand hygiene routine hand hygiene Mention Advantages of Normal Flora 1. They synthesize vitamins. 2. They prevent the entry of the pathogens: ✓ Physicaloccupancy. ✓ Competition for essential nutrients. ✓ Production of anti-bacterial chemicals. Complete Normal flora become pathogenic if: Immunity is lowered Flora gains access to a different site Prolonged antibiotic use Define Colonization: Multiplicationof an organism on a body surface of the host. No tissue invasion and not causing a disease. Infection: Multiplication of organism in the tissues tissue invasion and causing disease. Define Carrier: A person who carries a pathogenic organism but have no symptoms or signs. Carrier can transmit infection to others. Compare Sterilization: It is the process of removing or destroying all microorganisms including bacterial spores. Disinfection: It is a process that reduces the number of pathogenic microorganisms, but not necessarily bacterial spores to a level which is not harmful to health.  Mention Monitoring of autoclave is achieved by: 1. Physical monitoring that include assessment of: Pressure Temperature Cycle duration 2. Chemical monitoring 3. Biological monitoring Mention Hand washing is indicated when: 1. Hands are visibly dirty or visibly soiled with blood or other body fluids. 2. Exposure to potential spore-forming organisms is strongly suspected or proven.  Compare Critical Items Semi-Critical Non-Critical Items Items High risk Intermediate risk Low risk Penetrate sterile Does not penetrate Items in contact with tissues including body the skin or enter normal and intact cavities and the sterile areas of the skin, or the inanimate vascular system. body. environment. Comes in contact with intact mucous membranes or non- intact skin. Cleaning followed by Cleaning followed by Cleaning and drying is sterilization is required. disinfection is usually usually adequate. adequate. Mention HBV Transmission Complications: Blood Asymptomatic Sexual intercourse chronic carriers Perinatally Chronic active hepatitis Liver cirrhosis Clinical Picture Liver cell failure Fever Hepatocellular Jaundice carcinoma (HCC) Mention HBV Prevention 1. Active Immunization 3 I.M doses at 0, 1& 6 months. In deltoid region in adults or children and in the anterolateral aspect of the thigh in neonates.

Passive Immunization Hepatitis B immunoglobulin (HBIG) together with the vaccine are given (at separate sites) as post exposure prophylaxis to: ✓ Individuals accidentally exposed to HBsAg positive blood through needle stick or sharp injury. ✓ Neonates born to HBsAg positive mothers. 3. Hygienic Measures Mention Prevention of CAUTI 1. Use catheter only if truly indicated. 2. Early removal of catheter as soon as possible. 3. Use aseptic technique during catheter insertion. 4. Maintain closed drainage system. 5. Maintain unobstructed urinary flow. Mention Prevention of Catheter Related Infections 1. Adherence to Hand hygiene and use of PPE. 2. Apply antiseptic in a spiral manner from inside out. 3. Daily care and follow up: Remove as early as possible. Remove if infection occurs.  MCQ Match True/False All are true about bacteria except: a) They are eukaryotic b) Some produce endospores c) They have small single stranded circular DNA d) They have no true nucleus Regarding viruses, choose the correct answer: a) They are cellular b) They contain both DNA & RNA c) They are prokaryotic d) They are obligate intracellular pathogens 1.
