Quiz 100 Flashcards
Microbiology
The study of microscopic organisms
Binary fission
•Bacterial reproduction•, new cells formed are called daughter cells.
Natural immunity
Natural inherent resistance to disease
Most common bacteria that produces pus and is responsible for acne and MRSA
Cocci bacteria (clusters of staphylococci)
Technical term for lice
Pediculosis
Two cell processes that are responsible for the motility of bacterial cell
Cillia and Flagella
What form of microorganism is Tinea classified as
Fungi
Best environment for bacteria to grow
Warm, dark, damp, dank, places
What is Antiseptics ?
A disinfection that is safe to use on skin
What is the difference between Pathogenic and Nonpathogenic bacteria?
- Pathogenic bacteria is a harmful and diease producing bacteria
- Nonpathogenic bacteria is the most common and harmless.
What bacteria causes strep throat?
Streptococci
Tinea is the technical term for?
Ringworm
The three classifications of bacteria?
Cocci
Spirilla
Bacilli
Define animal parasite.
A parasite is an organism that lives off of a living host and does not contribute anything to the host.
Three types of Cocci bacteria
- diplococci
- streptococci
- staphylococci
Explain the difference between a virus and bacteria.
Virus is a piece of genetic material surrounded by protein. You don’t need antibiotics, if you have a virus unlike Bacteria. (Bacterial infection)
Bacteria is a single called microorganism with plant/animal characteristics. Needs antibiotics to treat bacterial infection. Oral or topical.
What happens during the inactive stage of the life cycle of bacteria?
Forms a spore and is resistant to temperature
What is a dermatophyte?
Fungi that live off keratin
How is Tinea Versicolor treated?
Selenium Sulfude (dandruff shampoo)
How is a bacterial infection treated?
Antibiotics (oral / topical)
What does MSDS
Material Safety Data Sheet
What is OSHA responsible for?
Regulates health standards enforces safety and protects employees
Acquired Immunity
Resistance to disease because you’ve had it or have had a vaccination for the disease.
3 levels of decontamination
Sanitation- lowest level- (cleaning) reduces number of pathogens on surfaces. (Soaps, detergents)
Disinfection- second to highest, kills most microorganisms on hard nonporous surfaces and doesn’t kill spores. Ex: bleach, antiseptics, ultracare, and barbicide.
Sterilization- highest level- kills all microorganisms including bacterial spores, bacteria, viruses, & fungi.
Organization that is responsible for registering the types of disinfects used in spas is?
EPA:Environmental Protection Agency
The body’s resident fungus?
Malassezia fur fur
What is the Center for Disease Control responsible for?
Studies diseases and provides guidance to prevent the spread.
What piece of equipment will sterilize by using steam?
Autoclave
Four potentially harmful microorganisms?
Bacteria, fungi, animal parasite, &and virus.
List four causes of disease
Genetics
Deficiencies
Physiological
Pathological/microbial
