Living together
Gk. sym - together; bios - life
Benefits both organism
Mutualism
Mutualism example

Mutualism: BENEFIT FROM HOST
Shelter
Source of nutrition
Mutualism: BENEFIT FROM MUTUALIST
Normalize pH
Inhibit growth of pathogenic organism
one organism benefits
Commensalism
host is harmed or damaged
Commensalism
acquisition of the microorganism
CONTACT
stays temporarily on the body
Transient flora
removed by cleansing activity
Transient flora
relatively permanent population of microorgganism
Normal flora
does not cause disease under normal conditions
Normal flora
prevents colonization of pathogens
Antagonist
mechanism of Antagonist
o Competition
o Bacteriocin secretion
Major sources of vitamins
o Vitamin K
o Vitamin B
Factors for Normal Flora to Cause Disease
- Mechanical transfer to another site
- Immunocompromised host
- Predisposing factors
entry, establishment, and invasion pf the body by PATHOGENS
INFECTION
harbors a specific pathogen
no discernible damage
no signs or symptoms
Carrier state
harbors a specific pathogen
no discernible damage
no signs or symptoms
Carrier state
when the infection has stopped
active immune response toward the organism
Immunity/Cure
imbalance or deviation in health
if the infection cause damage
Infectious Disease
the presence of a PATHOGEN whether it causes damage or not
INFECTION
We consider it DISEASE if it already causes damage
DISEASE
Types of pathogen according to source
EXOGENOUS
ENDOGENOUS
inanimate or animate object from which the pathogen are acquired
SOURCE OF THE PATHOGEN
outside the host
EXOGENOUS
within the host
ENDOGENOUS
inanimate or animate w/c the organism is NORMALLY LIVING
RESERVOIR
RESERVOIR: humans and animals
animate
RESERVOIR: soil and water
inanimate
Types of Infectious Disease
- Contagious Infectious Disease
- Communicable Infectious Disease
- Non-communicable Infectious Disease
readily or highly transmissible especially through direct contact
Contagious Infectious Disease
Transmissible (direct or indirectly) from host to host
Communicable Infectious Disease
transmitted to the host by other means
Non-communicable Infectious Disease
example: Tetanus
Non-communicable Infectious Disease
Modes of Transmission
- CONTACT TRANSMISSION
- AIR-BORNE TRANSMISSION
- COMMON VEHICLE TRANSMISSION
- VECTOR-BORNE TRANSMISSION
coming together of the source and host
CONTACT TRANSMISSION
Coming together of the portal of exit of one host and of the portal of entry of another host
DIRECT CONTACT
person to person contact
Horizontal
mother to newborn contact
Vertical
transmitted by an intermediate object
INDIRECT CONTACT
forms of INDIRECT CONTACT
Formites
Droplet transmission
EXPELLED moist particles that contain an infectious agent
Droplet transmission
EXPELLED moist particles that contain an infectious agent
Droplet transmission
Source and host are near each other
Droplet transmission
TRANSMISSION VIA DROPLET NUCLEI
AIR-BORNE TRANSMISSION
<5 microns; does not settle; associated w/ viruses
AIR-BORNE TRANSMISSION
inanimate object reservoir
COMMON VEHICLE TRANSMISSION
COMMON VEHICLE TRANSMISSION examples of reservoir
soil, water, blood
Invertebrates that harbor infectious agents
VECTOR
VECTORS INCLUDE
o Arthropods
o Insects
o Mollusk
o Arachnids
Types of VECTOR-BORNE TRANSMISSION
Mechanical
Biological
VECTOR-BORNE TRANSMISSION for transport
Mechanical
VECTOR-BORNE TRANSMISSION: essential in the life cycle of the infectious agent
Biological
PORTAL OF ENTRY
- Gastrointestinal Tract
- Respiratory Treat
- Skin or Mucous Membrane
- Genito-urinary Tract
- Blood
- Transplacental
Preferred portal of entry
GIT: Salmonella typhi
RT: Streptococcus pneumoniae
“NATURAL” or “INNATE” defense
NON-SPECIFIC DEFENSES
Against any ANTIGEN
NON-SPECIFIC DEFENSES
“NATURAL” or “INNATE” defense
NON-SPECIFIC DEFENSES
Functions of NON-SPECIFIC DEFENSES
o Provide GENERALIZED protection
o Present at birth
o Not enhanced
Offers protection at the site of inoculation
FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE
FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE: 4 MECHANISMS
- Physical
- Physiological
- Mechanical
- Microbial antagonism
SECOND LINE OF DEFENSE Includes
o Non-specific cells of the body
o Chemical response
SECOND LINE OF DEFENSE: 2 MECHANISMS
PHAGOCYTOSIS
INFLAMMATION
FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE: MECHANISM
- Physical
skin

FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE: MECHANISM
2. Physiological
dryness
acidic
sweat
mucus
FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE: MECHANISM
3. Mechanical
continuous removal from site of attachment
example: desquamation
either FIXED or WANDERING
MACROPHAGES
STEPS IN PHAGOCYTOSIS
- Initiation/Chemotaxis
- Adherence
- Ingestion
- Digestion
- Elimination
STEPS IN PHAGOCYTOSIS
- Initiation/Chemotaxis
- Adherence
- Ingestion
- Digestion
- Elimination
directional movement of phagocytes in response to chemical stimuli
Initiation/Chemotaxis
attachment of the phagocyte to the plasma membrane
Adherence
Adherence is facilitated by
Pathogen Associated Molecular Patter (PAMPS)
Toll-like Receptors (TLRs)
general recognition of the microorganism
UNENHANCED Adherence
microorganisms are coated with serum proteins
ENHANCED Adherence
acts as a bridge with the phagocyte
opsonins
encloses the microbe to form a vesicle
Ingestion
phagosome formation
Ingestion
Phagolysosome formation
Digestion
Fusion of the phagosome and lysosome
Phagolysosome
Degranulation
Digestion
EXOCYTOSIS of undigested materials
Elimination
mechanism of protection from tissue injury
INFLAMMATION
Clinical Signs of Inflammation
Rubor
Calor
Tumor
Dolor
redness
Rubor
