Bacteriology
Nonpathogenic
Harmless and beneficial. Make up 70% of all bacteria
Pathogenic
Disease bacteria that spread in salon with unsanitary implements
Staphylococci
Pus forming bacteria that form grape like bunches
Streptococci
Pus bacteria that form in long chains that cause strep throat
Diplococci
Bacteria cells tear grow in pairs
Bacilli
Bar like cells
Spirilla
Spiraled, cork screw shaped bacteria
Active bacteria
Grow rapid in dark places and mitosis is formed
Inactive bacteria
Cells die when not active and can survive in cold/heat
Parasitic fungi
Molds of yeast that produce contagious diseases like ring worm
Parasitic mites
Insects that cause contagious diseases such as scabies
Local infection
Located in small, confined area often indicated by pus filled boils
General infection
Occurs when the circulatory system carries bacteria/toxins all over
