the environment
Normal defences against infection (3) - ANSWER 1. normal flora
2. inflammatory response
,3. body system defences
normal flora - ANSWER -can be found on the skin or the GI tract
-live on another living organism (human or animal) or inanimate object without causing
disease.
-important in fighting disease, when not enough Normal flora; body defences are
lowered and disease grows
what can reduce normal flora - ANSWER broad-spectrum antibiotics, when abused can
cause diarrhea or rash
defence of respiratory tract-ANSWER cilia in airways trap organisms and move them up
pharynx to be removed
defence of eyes-ANSWER tearing up and blinking
defence of GI tract-ANSWER acidity and gas destroys some organisms, also peristalsis
(contraction) removes some microorganisms
defence of inflammation-ANSWER cellular response to injury or infection, build-up of
WBC target harmful microorganisms
defense of skin - ANSWER sloughing of outer layer, fatty acids kill some bacteria
HAI - ANSWER Health care-associated infection
ARO - ANSWER antibiotic-resistant organism;
Can develop through spontaneous occurrence, mutation, acquisition of resistance
genes
, how can you determine an antibiotic is ARO - ANSWER -rise in disease
-development of multi-drug-resistant organisms
-use of other antimicrobials that are less effective and more toxic
-treatment failure is increased
-mortality is increased
MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus)-ANSWER an infection caused by
certain bacteria that have become resistant to much types of antibiotics
Staphylococcus aureus- ANSWER - normal skin
-acne and boils or pneumonia or blood infections
-no longer killed by the antibiotic methicillin
who would most likely have an MRSA infection and what would it look
like-ANSWER-most likely elderly or very sick
-the nose or skin of a healthy individual
can cause an open wound (bedsore) around the invasive device, blood, urine
How is MRSA transmitted? - ANSWER contact and droplet
What is VRE (Vancomycin-resistant enterococci)? - ANSWER enterococcus:
- bacteria commonly found in the GI tract/shed via stool
Vancomycin:
- antibiotic used to treat infections caused by most types of enterococcus
VRE:
- infection of the urinary tract, surgical wounds or bloodstream, challenging to treat and
potentially life-threatening
