MMI 1: Principles of MicroBiology
heart disease
What is the leading cause of death in the arkansas?
colonization
presence of microbe on or in the body
infection
organism harmfully invades
infectious disease agent (Pathogen)
microbe that replicates either independently or with the hose AND is capable
of provoking an adverse response in the host
disease without colonization
Ingestion of pre-formed toxins
antibiotics
diseases without colonization are non-responsive to _________-
anti-toxin therapy
what is the recommended treatment for diseases without colonization
vectors
biting insects
aerosol
small particles that remain suspended in the air
droplet
, large droplet
droplet
respiratory secretions and splatter are examples of what
common vehicle transmission
transmission of microbial agents by a common, inanimate object
direct transmission
an infectious agent transmitted from a reservoir to susceptible host
indirect transmission
an infectious agent transmitted through contaminated object
direct
a handshake is an example of ________ transmission
indirect
touching a handrail after the reservoir is an example of _________
transmission
droplets
What particles will not last as long: droplets or aerosols?
aerosol
what is smaller: droplet or aerosol?
long-range
aerosol and indirect contact (fomite) is considered _________________
