With Solution
A localized collected of WBCs and cellular debris (pus) that appears swollen
and inflamed.
Abscess
Mononuclear cells that lack digestive enzymes
agranulocytes
Organisms requiring reduced oxygen for growth often associated with
serious infections
Anaerobes
Circulate in the bloodstream and interact with antigens they encounter; also
called immunoglobulins
Antibodies
Substances that provoke irritation or damage to the body tissues and induce
the formation of antibodies
antigens
presence of bacteria in blood
bacteremia
State in which microorganism is present but no immune reaction or tissue
, destruction occurs
colonization
Disease transmissible between hosts
communicable disease
The time frame during which a disease can be passed from one person to
another
communicable period
Series of proteins found in the bloodstream that enhances phagocytosis of
microbes, helps in lysis of bacterial cell walls, and encourages the
inflammatory response
Complement system
Potent substances released by bacteria into the blood that can cause shock.
Systemic
endotoxins
Enzymes that give bacteria immunity to both penicillin and cephalosporin
antibodies
extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs)
A term that encompasses infections contracted in all healthcare settings and
is now used in place of the older term, nosocomial infection, which refers
only to hospital-acquired infection
healthcare-associated infections
