Infection Control Flashcards
A parasitic submicroscopic particle that infects and resides in cells of biological organisms.
Virus
Capable of destroying viruses
Virucidal
A disease caused by bacteria that are transmitted through coughing or sneezing
Tuberculosis
(Phenolics) Prove in to kill the bacterium that caused regulosis. In addition to other pathogens destroyed through the use of hospital disinfectants.
Tuberculocidal Disinfectants
Various poisonous substances produced by some micro organisms.
Toxins
Play fungal infection of the scalp characterized by red papules or spots at the opening of the hair follicles.
Tinea Capitis
Also known as barber’s itch, superficial fungal infection that commonly affects the skin Primarily limited to the bearded areas of the face and neck or around the scalp
Tinea Barbae
Plus forming bacteria arranged in curved lines resembling a string of beads. Causes infections such a strep throat in blood poisoning
Strepcocci
The process that completely destroys all microbial life including spores.
Sterilization
Pus forming bacteria that grow in clusters like a bunch of grapes. They cause absesses postuals and boils
Staphylococci
