homeostasis - -stability of the body Strep group A - -oropharynx, skin, perineal
area; causes strep throat, rhuematic fever,scarlet
fever, impetigo
aysmptomatic - -showing no symptoms of
disease
strep group b - -genitalia causes; urinary
tract infection, wound infection, endometritis
pathogenesis - -development of disease
mycobacterium - -lungs, cause tuberculosis
acute - -abrupt onset of more or less
severe symptoms that run a brief course (usually
less than six months) then resolves or results in Neisseria gonorrhoae - -genitourinary tract,
death rectum,mouth, eye; causes gonorrhea, pelvic
inflammation, infectious arthritis, conjunctivitis
chronic - -lasts longer than six months

predisposing factors (risk factors) - -makes
a person or group more vulnerable to disease
(age, gender, lifestyle, environment, heredity) Staph epidermidis - -skin; wound infection,
bacteremia
acute inflammation - -normal protective
response to injury/disease, accompanied with Hepatitis A virus - -infectious hepatits
redness, heat, swelling, pain, and loss of function
Hepatitis B - -serum hepatits
widespread inflammation - -marked by
fever, malaise, and loss of appetite
Hepatitis C - -liver disease
necrosis - -death of tissue
Herpes simplex - -cold sores; meingitis
