-
what is a communicable infection
transmitted human to human,directly or indirectly. HIV, influenza
-
zoonoses
animal transmitted examples lymes, rabies
-
non-communicable
not transmitted person to person botulism,tetanus
-
microbial conization
become normal flora
-
contact
physical interaction conalize,infect,disease
-
infection
penatrate defenses and multiply(oppertunist pathagen)
-
disease
causes change in host,tissue death,shock,intoxication,abnormal immune response
-
carrier
can result in no disease but transmits
-
normal microbiota
normal flora
-
how can normal flora be oppertunist
when they take over and r not kept in check when other bacteria r killed
-
-
sporatic
scattered instances
-
-
-
pathogen
any disease producing organism
-
pathogenicity
number infected
-
virulance
serverity/fatal case
-
infectious dose
capable of causing infection
-
endotoxins
gram negative release at death,target non specific tissue,weak unless endotoxin(sepsis)
-
exotoxin
positive and negative,secrected externally,highly toxic(cyto,neuro,enter)targets heart nerve,muscle,gi examples are diphtheria,tetanus,botulism, toxic shock syndrom
-
extracellular enzymes do what
help pathogens enter by clearing path,kinase(breaks fiber cllots), coagolase(forms fibrin clots),hyaloronidase(breaks down tissur cement)
-
antiphagocytic factors how r prevented
bacteria capsules,anti-phag-chem,leukokins kill wbcs, some prevent fusion
-
attachment adhesion how it works
colonises(biofilm),binding specific receptors, pili, glycocalyx(capsule),hooks spikes flagella
-
acute infection
rapit onset,short
-
-
persistant cronic
organisms flares up ar various times not cleared, continus damage,probably infectious
-
persistant latent
no outward expression of disease: reaction may occur:may be infectious
-
mixed infection
more than one microbe
-
local infection
ex boil ringworm, inflammation,fever,pain,edema,redness,exudate
-
systemic infections
fever,pain;change in heartrate,blood pressure; toxcity,sepsis; change in rbc,wbc count
-
portals of entry
skin,mucus membranes(gi,respiratory,urogenital,)placenta,parenteral(peircing skin or mucus membranes
-
portals of entry can be whaat
endogenous(from inside) ex normal mmicrobiota or carrier
-
portals of exit6
ear,mouth,skin,anus,genitals,nose
-
contract transmission of various diesease
contact direct skin,sexual,droplets) indirect blood,fomite fluid
-
airborn
contaminated air (droplet nuclei)
-
zoonose transmittion
dependent on biology of vector or animal and organism
-
vector
veicle of tramission ex human mosquito
-
endogenous infection
coming from inside ex tb c diff
-
exogenous
an infection that develops from bacteria normally outside the body that have gained access to the body.
-
vectors
- arthropods-transmit to humans-malaria and lyme disease
- mechanical-not infected but carry insect feet,hair
-
zoonoses
- animal infection spread to humans:
- make up &)percent of all emerging diseases worldwide-rabies,ebola virus,hantavirus
-
fomates
nonliving, on toilet seats, bandages,utensils,surgical intruments
-
human carriers passive
carry one patient to another
-
convalescence human carrier
shedding during recovery(chicken pox)
-
chronic human carrier
never clear,but may be no signs(HCV,HBV,HIV<herpies...etc may lead to cancer
