Unit 2 Flashcards
PRINCIPLES OF INFECTIOUS DISEASE AND EPIDEMIOLOGY
Pathology
Scientific study of disease
Pathogenesis
Microorganisms does to our body
Disease develops
Pathogenesis
Etiology
Concerned with the cause of the disease
PUD
Peptic Ulcer Disease
Structural and functional changes brought about by a disease with their final effects in the body
Pathology
ASA
Aspirin — Acetyl Salicylic Acid
NSAIDs
Nonsteroidal-anti-inflammatory drug
PEPTIC ULCER DISEASE PATHOGENESIS
ASA & H.pylori Hypersecretory

Ulceration
H. pylori gastritis
Helicobacte pylori
Gastric acid
Hypersecretory states
ASA & NSAIDs
Aspirin
Acetyl Salicylic Acid
Invasion/colonization of the body by pathogenic microorganisms
Infection
The organisms can cause disease in a host
Pathogenic Microorganisms
Asymptomatic
Latent Infection
Infection results in any change from a state of health where
Disease
The body is incapable of performing its normal functions
Disease
The presence of a particular type of microorganism in a part of the body where it is not normally found may cause an infection-leads to a disease
E-coli in intestines
E-coli in urinary tract
The ability of microorganism to cause damage to its host.
Virulence
Pathogenic Agents
Bacteria
Viruses
Prions
Fungi
Viroids
Parasites
Pathogenicity
The ability of a pathogenic agent to cause disease
Latent infection
Syphilis ( Trepone pallidum)
Tubercolosis (Mycobacterium tubercolosis)
Normal Microbiota
NORMAL FLORA
Normal in body
Normal flora
It is colonize by microorganisms but does not produce disease under normal conditions
Normal flora
Present for several days and then disappears
Transient microbiota
Factors determining the distribution and composition of Normal Flora
Nutrients:
Microbes can only colonize body sites that can supply nutrients
Mechanical forces :
Chewing action dislodges microbes attached to the teeth
Saliva and GIT movement can remove unattached microbes.
Flushing action of the urine.
Mucus trapping microbes in the respiratory system.
Urinary and reproductive systems
Staphylococcus
Micrococcus
Enterococcus
Lactobacillus
Bacteroides
Aerobic Diphtheroids
Pseudomonas
Klebsiella
Proteus in urethra
lactobacilli
Streptococcus Clostridium
Candida albicans (fungus)
Trichomonas vaginalis (protozoan) in vagina
Skin
Do not become resident because secretions from sweat and oil glands have anti microbial properties
Eyes (conjuntiva)
Continuation of skin or mucous membrane, contains basically the same microbiota found on the skin
Tears and blinking also eliminate microbes or inhibits others from colonizing
Eyes (conjunctiva)
Has low moisture content
Skin
A resistant barrier , and the low pH of the skin inhibits many microbes
Keratin
Their ability to cause disease is reduced by microbial antagonism
Nose and throat ( Upper respiratory System)
_________ secretions kila or inhibits many microbes, and mucus and ciliary action remove many microbes.
Nasal
Abundant moisture, warmth, and the constant presence of food make the mouth an ideal environment that supports very large and diverse microbial populations on the tongue, cheeks, teeth, and gums.
Mouth
Biting, chewing, tongue movements, and salivary flow dislodge microbes. Saliva contains several anti microbial substances
Mouth
Largest number resident microbiota
Large intestine
__________ also flushed out some of the Normal microbiota
Diarrhea
_________ of the vagina inhibits or kills microbes
Acidity
The ______ of urine and urea are anti microbial
pH
It contains several antimicrobial substances
Saliva/ mouth
3 types of symbiosis
Commensalism
Mutualism
Parasitism
One organism benefits, and the other is unaffected.
Commensalism
One organism benefits at the expense of others ;
One is harmed.
Parasitism
Both organisms are benefiting from the presence of each other
Mutualism
Most of the ____________ _______________ are commensals
Normal Microbiota
Host is not benefiting from the microorganisms
Commensalism
