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
Infection control is divided into three categories:
Sterilization, disinfection and sanitation
Sub-microscopic particles (much smaller than bacteria) that cause familiar diseases:
Viruses
like the common cold, which is caused by a filterable virus
A highly infectious disease that infects the liver
HBV - Human Hepatitis B
A disease caused by HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus)
AIDS - Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome
Organisms that live on or obtain their nutrients from another organism called a host
External Parasites
This occurs when disease-causing (pathogenic) bacteria or viruses enter the body and multiply to the point of interfering with the body’s normal state
Infection
Disease-causing bacteria or viruses that are carried through the blood or body fluids
Bloodborne Pathogens
