fomites

inanimate object which are freshly contaminated with secretion pr excretion form an infected in one area

Germ thoery

a disease are the result of the presence of pathologic microorganisms

Gram stain

lab technique to identify bacteria which consists of staining bacteria with violet or then counterstaining with red stain gram positive is violet gram negative is red

worm

Helminth

resistance to toxic agents or organism due to pervious exposure to the same agent or organism

immunity

small round bodies found in cells affected by a virus

Inclusion

invasion of the body by the pathogens and the reactions of the tissue to their presence and their toxins

infection

spread of infection to other areas via the lymphatic systems

Invasions

those procedures used to protect patient and environment form transmission if the disease producing organisms traveling form one patient to the other

Medical Asepsis

agent through which microorganisms are transmitted

Medium

a bacterium that causes infections in different parts of the body

Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus

study of fungi

mycology

any disease induced by a fungus

Mycosis

microscopic life such as bacteria which are adapted to residing in a given area of the body during health. any condition that upset this balance can cause over growth of the other organism resulting in symptoms of disease

Normal Flora

hospital acquired infection

nosocomial infection

organism of a fungus or bacterium which cause infection when given the opportunity by the altered state of the host

opportunistic

organism that lives within upon or at the expense of another living organism known as the host

parasite

disease causing microorganisms

pathogen

the ability of a pathogenic species to produce disease

pathogenicity

a cell which has the ability to ingest and destroy particulate substance

Phagocyte

aerobics species found in soil water sewage debris air and sometime in normal flora of skin and intestines

Pseudomonas

avenue by which infectious organism gain access to the body

Portal of entry

the first infection that develops after microbial invasion

Primary Infection

liquid product of infection composed of albuminous substance leukocytes and dead bacteria

purulent

ability of body mechanisms to interpose barriers to the progress of invasions or multiplication of infectious disease

Resistance

bacilli in GI tract of human

Salmonella

destruction of bacteria through good cleaning process

Sanitation

organism living on decaying or dead organic matter

Saprophyte

the microorganism invade tissue in which there is an existing primary infection

Secondary Infection

where the infectious agent spread throughout the body tissues

systemic infection

the disease condition denoting presence of pathogenic bacteria and pus

sepsis

a small single celled reproductive body that is highly resistant to chemicals and heat

Spore

an inflammation which is producing pus

Suppuration

not sterile but as clean as possible

surgically clean

a disease by bacteria called mycobacterium tuberculosis. the bacteria usually attack the lungs but cam damage other body parts

tuberculosis

the process of sterilizing articles after they have been used and before putting them back into circulation again

terminal sterilization

poisonous product produced by bacteria

toxins

the virulence of a toxin producing pathogenic organism

toxigenicity

resistant bacteria that are resistant to vancomycin the drug often used to treat infections caused by Escherichia Coli

vancomycin resistant enterococci

an animal, insect which transmits pathogens form infected to non infected individuals

vector

a small infectious agent that replicates only inside the living cells of other organisms

virus

power of a pathogen to cause a disease or infection

virulence

are bacteria that are normally present in the human intestines and in the female genital tract and are often found in the environment
