Branches of Microbiology Correct answer-bacteriology
mycology
parasitology
virology
phycology
physiology
taxonomy
Taxonomy Correct answer-the orderly classification and grouping of organisms
Classification Correct answer-arrangement of organisms into groups
Nomenclature Correct answer-assigning names to various taxonomic rankings for each microbial
species
Identification Correct answer-discovering and recording the traits of organisms so they can be put
into the taxonomic scheme
Categories of Classification Correct answer-Genotype (genetic makeup) or Phenotype (media, gram
stain, morphology, biochemical characteristics, antimicrobial resistance patterns)
Hierarchical Classification Correct answer-Largest-Smallest
Domain
Kingdom
Phylum
Class
Order
Family
Genus
Species
Rules of Nomenclature Correct answer-1. Use binary names (genus and species)
2. Capitalize the genus but not the species
3. Italicize the if types or underline if handwritted
4. Abbreviate initial capital letter and follow by species
5. Lowercase and non-italic for common name
Public Health Correct answer-Focused on examining the health needs of entire populations with
the goal of preventing health problems.
Infection Correct answer-invasion and multiplication of microorganisms within a host
, Carrier Correct answer-person may harbor a pathogen that can be transmitted to others without
eliciting disease themselves
Colonization Correct answer-bacteria on our body surface that does not oleic an immune response
or disease
Normal Flora Correct answer-Organisms that exist in a symbiotic relationship with the host
Classification of Infectious Diseases Correct answer-1. Microbiological (pathogen or causative
agent)
2. Clinical (clinical manifestation - signs and symptoms)
3. Epidemiological (transmission and reservoir)
Chain of Infection Correct answer-pathogen, reservoir, portal of exit, mode of transmission, portal
of entry, susceptible host
Infectious Disease Periods Correct answer-1. Incubation (no signs or symptoms)
2. Prodromal (vague, general symptoms)
2. Illness (most severe signs and symptoms)
3. Decline (declining signs and symptoms)
4. Convalescence (no signs or symptoms)
Individual Disease Prevention Measures Correct answer-hand hygiene, food and water safety,
condom use
Community Disease Prevention Measures Correct answer-sanitation, water safety, blood-donor
screening, isolation and quarantine
Lab Safety Organizations Correct answer-OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration)
EPA (Environmental Protection Agency)
CDC (Center for Disease Control and Prevention)
JACHO (Joint Commission for Accred of Healthcare Orgs)
CLSI (Clinical Laboratory Standards Institute)
WHO (World Health Organization)
Exposure Control Plan Correct answer-OSHA designed to protect employees against exposure to
bloodborne pathogens - reviewed by employees annually
Standard Precautions Correct answer-A strict form of infection control that is based on the
assumption that all blood and other body fluids are infectious.
Droplet Precautions Correct answer-close respiratory contact or exposure of mucus
membranes/respiratory secretions
Airborne Precautions Correct answer-Infectious Agents that can remain airborne for long periods
of time and long distances
Contact Precautions Correct answer-direct or indirect contact with patient or environment
