Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome
A disease that breaks down the body's immune system. It is caused by the human
immunodeficiency virus (HIV)
Acquired Immunity

(such as flu vaccinations), or through exposure to natural allergens such as pollen,
cat dander, and ragweed.
, 3
Allergy
Reaction due to extremely sensitivity to certain foods, chemicals, or other normally
harmless substances.
Antiseptics
Chemical herbicides formulated for use on the skin; registered and regulated by the
Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Aseptic Procedure
A process of properly handling sterilized and disinfected equipment and supplies to
reduce contamination.
Asymptomatic
Showing no symptoms or signs of infection
Autoclave
A device for sterilization by steam under pressure.
Bacilli
Short, rod shaped bacteria. They are the most common bacteria and produce diseases
such as tetanus (lockjaw), typhoid fever, tuberculosis, and diphtheria.
Bacteria (singular;bacterium)
One-called microorganisms that have both plant and animal characteristics. Some
are harmful; some are harmless.
Bactericidal
Capable of destroying bacteria
Binary Fission
The division of bacteria cells into two new cells called daughter cells.
Bioburden
The number of viable organisms in or on an object or surface or the organic material
on a surface or object before decontamination or sterilization.
Bloodborne Pathogens
, 4
Disease-causing microorganisms carried in the body by blood or body fluids, such
as hepatitis or HIV.
Body Substance Isolation
A system of precautions developed by a Seattle hospital in 1987 to prevent contact
with bodily substances and fluids by using protective apparel to prevent the spread
of communicable disease.
Chelating Soaps
Detergents that break down stubborn films and remove the residue of products such
as scrubs, salts, and masks.
Clean
A mechanical process (scrubbing) using soap and water or detergent and water to
remove all visible dirt, debris, and many disease-causing germs. It also removes
invisible debris that interferes with disinfection.
Cocci
Round-shaped bacteria that appear singly (alone) or in groups. The three types of
this bacteria are staphylococci, steptococci, and diplocci.
Contagious Disease
Also known as communicable disease; a disease that is spread from one person to
another person. Some of the more types of this disease are the common cold,
ringworm, conjunctivitis (pinkeye), viral infections, and natural nail or toe and foot
infections.
Contamination
The presence, or reasonably anticipated presence, of blood or other potentially
infectious materials on an item's surface or visible debris or residues such as dust,
hair, and skin.
Cross-contamination
Contamination that occurs when you touch one object and then transfer the one to
of that object to another, such as touching skin, then touching a product without
washing your hands.
Decontamination
