DANB INFECTION CONTROL (ICE)
REVISION
Pathogens - answer-Microbes that cause disease
Most common oral diseases - answer-Dental caries (decay) and periodontal
disease.
Microbiology - answer-The study of microorganisms
Nonpathogenic - answer-Pertaining to microorganisms that do not produce disease
Endospores - answer-bacterial spore that can survive harsh conditions
Pasteurization - answer-Treating a substance with heat to kill or slow the growth of
pathogens
Prions - answer-infectious proteins
Bacteria - answer-When bacteria from one part of the body invade another part
opportunistic infection - answer-caused by a pathogen that does not normally
produce an illness in healthy humans
Streptococci - answer-bacteria that form a chain and cause infections like
pharyngitis(strep throat), tonsillitis, pneumonia, and endocarditis.
Staphylococcus - answer-Irregular Grape-like clusters causing boils, skin
infections, endocarditis, and pneumonia.
Bacilli - answer-Rod shaped bacteria that causes tuberculosis.
Spirochetes - answer-Spiral shaped bacteria that cause Lyme disease, and syphilis.
Aerobes - answer-Bacteria that require oxygen to grow
Anaerobes - answer-Bacteria that grow in the absence of oxygen and are destroyed
by oxygen
Virulent - answer-Capable of causing serious disease
Spores - answer-A tiny cell that is able to grow into a new organism
Viruses - answer-The smallest pathogens that can cause fatal disease.
,Specificity - answer-Viruses just have this for particular cell types to replicate.
(Pickiness)
Latent - answer-Virus that remains dormant in the body for years
provirus (prophage) - answer-Virus that becomes integrated into the nucleic acid of
the host cell.
Characteristics of a virus - answer-Can only be treated symptomatically, cannot be
destroyed by antibiotics, viruses produce different types of infection. Viruses can
mutate and change making it hard to develop a vaccine.
Hepatitis A - answer-Ends in a vowel, comes from the bowel(fecal-oral).
The leasts serious and a vaccine is available.
Hepatitis B (HBV) - answer-Blood - borne disease caused by the Hepatitis Virus
that can lead to serious liver disease, cirrhosis, and prolonged illness. There is a
preventive vaccine.
Hepatitis C (HCV) - answer-Transmitted through Blood transfusions, IV drug use,
or a cut in the skin. There is no vaccine or cure so it is a chronic disease.
Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) - answer-Caused by human
immunodeficiency virus, sexually transmitted disease.
Hepatitis D (HDV) - answer-A defective virus that cannot replicate itself without
the presence of HBV. Where there is Hep B there could be this. Greater risk for
death when infected with both. The vaccines for HBV also prevent HDV.
Hepatitis E (HEV) - answer-Ends in a vowel, comes from the bowel. Transmitted
by the fecal/oral route through contaminated food or water.
Herpes simplex virus type 1 - answer-the form of herpes that generates cold sores
or fever blisters around the mouth
Primary herpes - answer-Highly contagious oral herpes characterized by a slight
fever, pain in the mouth, increased salivation, bad breath, and feeling ill among
children.
Herpes simplex type 2 - answer-Common viral infection that is characterized by
localized blistering that secrete a syrup like fluid
Herpes zoster virus - answer-chickenpox and shingles
, H1N1 flu - answer-Swine flu, respiratory disease from pigs.
Tuberculosis - answer-Leading cause of death from infectious diseases worldwide.
Tetanus - answer-Lockjaw. Caused by the bacterium Clostridium tetani.
Syphilis - answer-Treponema pallidum spirochetes, contact with oral lesions can
cause a painless ulcerating sore( chancre) which is infectious on contact.
MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) - answer-affects the skin,
causing "boils" and abscesses
pandemic disease - answer-An epidemic disease that occurs worldwide
Infection control - answer-Policies and practices designed to prevent the spread of
infectious agents
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) - answer-A federal government
agency that issues guidelines to protect and improve health.
OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) - answer-The main
federal agency charged with regulating safety and health in the workplace.
Chain of infection - answer-Conditions that all must be present for infection to
occur.
Infectious agent - answer-Pathogen responsible for a specific infectious disease.
Reservoir - answer-A place where the pathogen grows and reproduces.
Portal of entry - answer-Route by which an infectious agent enters the host.
Susceptible host - answer-An individual who has little resistance to an infectious
agent.
Acute infection - answer-An infection of short duration that is often severe.
Chronic infection - answer-An infection of long duration that can have long term
effects.
Asymptomatic - answer-Showing no symptoms of disease for example an abscess
with no swelling or pain.
Latent infection - answer-Persistent infection with recurrent symptoms that "come
and go". Example being herpes zoster(shingles).
