MODULE I Flashcards
interactions between organism?
prey predator
competition
symbiosis
what are the three types of symbiosis?
commensalism
mutualism
parasitism
name this type of symbiosis?
parasite removal/swap nutrients
mutualism
name this type of symbiosis?
safe housing/transportation
commensalism
name this type of symbiosis?
drain resources, can kill host, transfer disease
parasitism
what are the influences of microbiology in the world?
impacts world populations
impact epidemic disease
biologic warfare
pathogen for plague?
Y. pestis or Yersinia pestis
pathogen for Q fever?
C. burnetii or Coxiella burnetii
study of microorganisms and their effect on the environment?
microbiology
study of health state in populations?
epidemiology
study of the human body mechanism to monitor and eradicate non self epitopes, pathogens and cells
immunology
Organism causing detrimental effect in normal host
Pathogenicity
Organism capable of being transmitted from host to another.
Communicability
Direct cellular damage, nutrient competition, alteration of normal function, triggering tissue damaging host response
Mechanisms causing detrimental effects
Organism living together for the benefit of both
Symbiote
Host harboring and transmitting potential pathogen
Carrier state
Organism capable of causing detrimental effects in normal host
Pathogen
Organism that does not ordinarily produce disease but can under certain
circumstances (usually reduced host resistance)
Example: Site specific opportunistic pathogens- E. coli in GI vs UTI
Opportunistic pathogen
what are the types of microbiome and the human environment?
core microbiome secondary microbiome factors influencing human microbiome organisms and body sites body sites changes through time disruption of microbial flora
this type of microbiome is present at a specific time >90% of individuals as a specific body site?
core microbiome
this type of microbiome is not widely shared but unique among subpopulations at specific body sites?
secondary microbiome
