allergy - ANSWERSreaction due to extreme sensitivity to certain foods, chemicals, or
other normally harmless substances
antiseptics - ANSWERSChemical germicides formulated for us on the skin; registered
and regulated by the FDA
aseptic procedures - ANSWERSa process of properly handling sterilized and
disinfected equipment and supplies to reduce contamination
asymptomatic - ANSWERSshowing no symptoms or signs of infection
autoclave - ANSWERSsterilizing device using steam under pressure
bacilli - ANSWERSshort rod-shaped bacteria. they are the most common bacteria and
produce diseases such as tetanus (lockjaw), typhoid fever, tuberculosis, and diphtheria
bacteria (singular: bacterium) - ANSWERSone-celled microorganisms that have both
plant and animal characteristics. some are harmful; some are harmless
bactericidal - ANSWERScapable of destroying bacteria
binary fission - ANSWERSThe division of bacteria cells into two new cells called
daughter cells.
bioburden - ANSWERSThe number of viable organisms in or on an object or surface or
the organic material on a surface or object before decontamination or sterilization.
bloodborne pathogens - ANSWERSDisease-causing microorganisms carried in the
body by blood or body fluids, such as hepatitis or HIV
, body substance isolation - ANSWERSAbbreviated BSI: a system of precautions

materials on an item's surface and the removal of visible debris or residue such as dust,

dermatophyes - ANSWERSA type of fungi that causes skin, hair, and nail infections.
diagnosis - ANSWERSdetermination of the presence of a disease based on an
evaluation of symptoms, signs, and test findings. Federal regulations prohibit salon
professionals from performing a diagnosis.
diplococci - ANSWERSSpherical bacteria that grow in pairs and cause diseases such
as pneumonia
direct transmission - ANSWERSTransmission of blood or body fluids through touching
(including shaking hands), kissing, coughing, sneezing, and talking.
