Infection control 5✔️ Flashcards
Immunity that the body developes after overcoming a disease,through inoculation(such as flue vaccinations)or through espouse to natural allergens such as pollen,cat dander,and ragweed.
Acquired immunity
Reaction due to extreme sensitivity to certain foods,chemicals,or other normally harmless substances.
Allergy
Chemical germicides formulated for use on skin;registered and regulated by the food and drug administration (FDA).
Antiseptic
Showing no symptoms or signs of infection.
Asymptomatic
Singular:bacillus.short,rod-shaped bacteria.they are the most common bacteria and produce diseases such as tetanus(lockjack),typhoid fever,tuberculosis,and diphtheria.
Bacilli
One-celled microorganisms that have both plant and animal characteristics.some are harmful;some are harmless.
Bacterial
Bacteria capable of producing a protective coating that allows them to withstand very harsh environments,and shed the coating when conditions become more favorable.
Bacterial spores
Capable of destroying bacteria.
Bactericidal
A disease that breaks down the body’s immune system,AIDS is caused by the human immunodeficiency virus(HIV).
Acquired immune deficiency syndrome(AIDS)
The division of bacteria cells into two new cells called daughter cells.
Binary fission
Colonies of bacteria that adhere together and adhere to environmental surfaces.
Biofilms
Disease-causing microorganisms carried in the body by blood or body fluids,such as hepatitis and hiv.
Bloodborne pathogens
Also known as cheating detergants;they break down stubborn films and remove the residue of pedicure products such as scrubs,salts,and mass.
Chelating soaps
A mechanical process(scrubbing) using soap and water or detergent and water to remove all visible dirt,debris,and many disease-causing germs cleaning also removes invisible debris that interfere with disinfection.cleaning is what cosmetologist are required to do before disinfecting.
Clean (cleaning)
Round-shaped bacteria that appear singly(alone)or in groups.the three types of cocci are staphylococci,streptococci,and diplococci.

Human papilloma virus
The ability of the body to destroy and resist infection.Immunity against disease can be either natural or acquired,and is a sign of good health.
Immunity
Transmission of blood or body fluids through contact with an intermediate contaminated object such as a razor,extractor,nipper,or an environmental surface.
Indirect transmission
The invasion of body tissues by disease-causing pathogens.
Infection
Are the methods used to eliminate or reduce the transmission of infectious organisms.
Infection control
Caused by or capable of being transmitted by infection.
Infectious
A condition in which the body reacts to injury,irration,or infection;characterized by redness,heat,pain and swelling.
Inflammation
An infection,such as a pimple or abscess,that is cinfied to a particular part of the body and appears as a lesion containing pus.
