Salon Ecology. Flashcards
One-celled micro-organisms
Bacteria
OR germs/microbes
Non-disease-producing bacteria:
Nonpathogenic
Disease-producing bacteria:
Pathogenic
A disease that is easily spread from one person to another is:
i.e. Cold, hepatitis & measles
Communicable
OR contagious
Nonpathogenic bacteria that live on dead matter and do not produce disease:
Saprophytes
Spherical-shaped bacteria cells that appear singularly or in groups:
Cocci
Pus-forming bacterial cells that form grape like bunches or clusters and are present in abscesses, pustules and boils:
Staphylococci
Pus-forming bacterial cells that form in long chains and can cause septicemia (blood poisoning), strep throat, rheumatic fever and other serious infections:
Streptococci
Bacterial cells that grow in pairs and are the cause of certain infections, including pneumonia:
Diplococci
The most common form of bacterial cells, they are bar/rod-shaped cells that can produce a variety of diseases including tetanus, bacterial influenza, typhoid fever, tuberculosis and diphtheria:
Bacilli
Spiraled, coiled, corkscrew-shaped bacterial cells that cause highly contagious diseases such as syphilis, cholera and Lyme disease:
Spirilla
Bacterial growth cycle where bacteria reproduced and grows rapidly:
Active stage
- takes place in dark, damp or dirty areas where a food source is available
- mitosis occurs
- as many as 16 million offspring can be developed in 12 hours
How do bacterial cells enter the body?
Through a break in the skin or through any of the bodies natural openings
State of growth when conditions are unfavorable, difficult environment, enter dormant stage by creating spherical spores that are harmed by disinfectants like cold and heat:
Dormant stage
OR inactive
Hair like projections that move bacilli and spirilla cells:
Flagella
OR cilia
Bar soaps can harbor and transmit?
Bacteria
Sanitation practices apply to?
Everyone
