17
Q

adherence

A

helps microbes stick

18
Q

invasion

A

how microbes get in

19
Q

bacteria enzymes

A

wlil degrade tissue or dissolve WBC and RBC

20
Q

antiphagocytic factors

A

microbes have outside coating that make it not recognizable to leukocytes; can help with adherence so hard to get rid of

21
Q

endospores

A

ability to dorm an internal spore of resting state; resistant to heat and chemicals so when conditions are better they will reactivate and cause disease

22
Q

mobility

A

some have ability to move away from repellents to increase likelihood of living

23
Q

antimicrobial

A

mutation within microbe that allows it to survive in the presence of antibiotics; comes from overdose or sub theraputic use of antibiotics

24
Q

bacteria

A

single cell organisms with rigid wall and no internal organelles

25
Q

characteristics of bacteria

A

shape, gram stain, oxygen requirement

26
Q

Antibiotics can be

A

gram positive or gram negative

27
Q

Fungi

A

eukaryotic cells that contain organelles, form complex structures, thick rigid walls

28
Q

Fungi cause problems when

A

body’s defense mechanisms are compromised

29
Q

Superficial & cutaneous fungi

A

tinnea, ring worm

30
Q

Subcutaneous fungi

A

ulcers, abscess

31
Q

Systemic fungi

A

fungi balls in heart chambers, lung or other organisms (they hide)

32
Q

Parasites

A

establish themselves with another organisms and benefit from the other

33
Q

Protozoa parasite

A

single cell; malaria trickamonas

34
Q

Helminthes parasites

A

roundworms and flatworms (peds: pin, hook, tape worms)

35
Q

Anthropod parasites

A

invertebrate animals with joined appendages; lice, ticks, scadies

36
Q

Common sites of parasites

A

skin and GI tract

37
Q

Viruses

A

flu, common cold, noro virus; simple microorganisms, no metabolisms, cannot interdependently reproduce

38
Q

Why are viruses hard to treat?

A

They can adapt and bypass defense mechanisms because they are hidden

39
Q

Incubation

A

the period from initial exposure to onset of first symptoms

40
Q

Prodromal

A

occurence of initial symptoms

41
Q

Illness

A

Pathogen is multiplying rapidly, immune and inflammatory responses are being triggered; development of symptoms specific to the pathogen

42
Q

Convalescence

A

immune and inflammatory systems have successfully removed agent and symptoms decline
