Chapter 14 Infection, Infectious Diseases, and Epidemiology © 2012 Pearson Education Inc. Lecture prepared by Mindy Miller-Kittrell North Carolina State University Symbiotic Relationships Between Microbes and Their Hosts • Symbiosis means “to live together” • We have symbiotic relationships with countless microorganisms • Types of symbiosis – Mutualism – Commensalism – Parasitism, pathogen © 2012 Pearson Education Inc. Table 14.1 The Three Types of Symbiotic Relationships Figure 14.1 Which type of symbiotic relationship? Symbiotic Relationships Between Microbes and Their Hosts • Normal Microbiota in Hosts – Also termed normal flora and indigenous microbiota – Organisms that colonize the body’s surfaces without normally causing disease – Two types – Resident microbiota – Transient microbiota © 2012 Pearson Education Inc. Figure 14.2 Normal microbiota of the human nasal cavity Symbiotic Relationships Between Microbes and Their Hosts • Normal Microbiota in Hosts – Resident microbiota – Are a part of the normal microbiota throughout life – Are mostly commensal © 2012 Pearson Education Inc. Table 14.2 Some Resident Microbiota Symbiotic Relationships Between Microbes and Their Hosts • Normal Microbiota in Hosts – Transient microbiota – Remain in the body for short period – Found in the same regions as resident microbiota – Cannot persist in the body – Competition from other microorganisms – Elimination by the body’s defense cells – Chemical or physical changes in the body © 2012 Pearson Education Inc. Symbiotic Relationships Between Microbes and Their Hosts • Normal Microbiota in Hosts – Acquisition of normal microbiota – Development in womb free of microorganisms (axenic) – Microbiota begin to develop during birthing process – Much of one’s resident microbiota established during first months of life © 2012 Pearson Education Inc. Symbiotic Relationships Between Microbes and Their Hosts • How Normal Microbiota Become Opportunistic Pathogens – Opportunistic pathogens – Normal microbiota that cause disease under certain circumstances – Conditions that provide opportunities for pathogens – Introduction of normal microbiota into unusual site in body (ex. E. coli) – Immune suppression – Changes in the normal microbiota © 2012 Pearson Education Inc. Reservoirs of Infectious Diseases of Humans • Most pathogens cannot survive for long outside their host • Reservoirs of infection – Sites where pathogens are maintained as a source of infection • Three types of reservoirs – Animal reservoirs – Human carriers – Nonliving reservoirs © 2012 Pearson Education Inc. Reservoirs of Infectious Diseases of Humans • Animal Reservoirs – Zoonoses – Diseases naturally spread from animal host to humans – Acquire zoonoses through various routes – Direct contact with animal or its waste – Eating animals – Bloodsucking arthropods – Humans are usually dead-end host to zoonotic pathogens © 2012 Pearson Education Inc. Reservoirs of Infectious Diseases of Humans • Human Carriers – Infected individuals who are asymptomatic but infective to others – Some individuals eventually develop illness while others never get sick – Healthy carriers may have defensive systems that protect them – P. 416 A deadly carrier © 2012 Pearson Education Inc. Reservoirs of Infectious Diseases of Humans • Nonliving Reservoirs – Soil, water, and food can be reservoirs of infection – Presence of microorganisms often due to contamination by feces or urine © 2012 Pearson Education Inc. The Movement of Microbes into Hosts: Infection • Exposure to Microbes: Contamination and Infection – Contamination – The mere presence of microbes in or on the body – Infection – When organism evades body’s external defenses, multiplies, and becomes established in the body © 2012 Pearson Education Inc. The Movement of Microbes into Hosts: Infection • Portals of Entry – Sites through which pathogens enter the body – Four major pathways – Skin – Mucous membranes – Placenta – Parenteral route © 2012 Pearson Education Inc. Figure 14.3 Routes of entry for invading pathogens Ear Broken skin Insect bite Conjunctiva of eye Nose Mouth Placenta Vagina Anus In males: Penis Urethra The Movement of Microbes into Hosts: Infection • Portals of Entry – Skin – Outer layer of dead skin cells acts as a barrier to pathogens – Some pathogens can enter through openings or cuts – Others burrow into or digest outer layers of skin © 2012 Pearson Education Inc. Figure 14.4 A cross-section of skin Sebaceous (oil) gland Hair Pore of sweat duct Epidermis Blood capillaries Nerve fiber Dermis Nerve ending Vein Artery Sweat gland Fat cells Hair follicle The Movement of Microbes into Hosts: Infection • Portals of Entry – Mucous membranes – Line the body cavities that are open to the environment – Provide a moist, warm environment hospitable to pathogens – Respiratory tract is the most common site of entry – Entry is through the nose, mouth, or eyes – Gastrointestinal tract may be route of entry – Must survive the acidic pH of the stomach © 2012 Pearson Education Inc. The Movement of Microbes into Hosts: Infection • Portals of Entry – Placenta – Typically forms effective barrier to pathogens – Pathogens may cross the placenta and infect the fetus – Can cause spontaneous abortion, birth defects, premature birth © 2012 Pearson Education Inc. The Movement of Microbes into Hosts: Infection • Portals of Entry – Parenteral route – Not a true portal of entry – Means by which the portal of entry can be circumvented – Pathogens deposited directly into tissues beneath the skin or mucous membranes © 2012 Pearson Education Inc. The Movement of Microbes into Hosts: Infection • The Role of Adhesion in Infection – Process by which microorganisms attach themselves to cells – Required to successfully establish colonies within the host – Uses adhesion factors – Specialized structures – Attachment proteins © 2012 Pearson Education Inc. Figure 14.5 The adhesion of pathogens to host cells-overview The Movement of Microbes into Hosts: Infection • The Role of Adhesion in Infection – Attachment proteins help in adhesion – Found on viruses and many bacteria – Viral or bacterial ligands bind host cell receptors – Interaction can determine host cell specificity – Changing/blocking a ligand or its receptor can prevent infection – Inability to make attachment proteins or adhesins renders microorganisms avirulent – Some bacterial pathogens attach to each other to form a biofilm © 2012 Pearson Education Inc. Figure 14.6 Dental plaque The Nature of Infectious Disease • Infection is the invasion of the host by a pathogen • Disease results if the invading pathogen alters normal body functions • Disease is also referred to as morbidity © 2012 Pearson Education Inc. The Nature of Infectious Disease • Manifestations of Disease: Symptoms, Signs, and Syndromes – Symptoms – Subjective characteristics of disease felt only by the patient – Signs – Objective manifestations of disease observed or measured by others – Syndrome – Symptoms and signs that characterize a disease or abnormal condition – Asymptomatic, or subclinical, infections lack symptoms but may still have signs of infection © 2012 Pearson Education Inc. The Nature of Infectious Disease • Causation of Disease: Etiology – Study of the cause of disease – Germ theory of disease – Disease caused by infections of pathogenic microorganisms – Robert Koch developed a set of postulates to prove a particular pathogen causes a particular disease © 2012 Pearson Education Inc. Figure 14.7 Koch’s postulates Agent not typically found in healthy subjects The suspected agent must be present in every case of the disease. Diseased subjects Healthy subjects Petri plate Bacterial colonies The agent must be isolated and grown in pure culture. Streaked plates Injection The cultured agent must cause the disease when it is inoculated into a healthy, susceptible experimental host (animal or plant). The same agent must be reisolated from the diseased experimental host. The Nature of Infectious Disease • Causation of Disease: Etiology – Exceptions to Koch’s postulates – Some pathogens can’t be cultured in the laboratory – Diseases caused by a combination of pathogens and other cofactors – Pathogens that require a human host – Difficulties in satisfying Koch’s postulates – Diseases can be caused by more than one pathogen – Pathogens that are ignored as potential causes of disease © 2012 Pearson Education Inc. The Nature of Infectious Disease • Virulence Factors of Infectious Agents – Pathogenicity – Ability of a microorganism to cause disease – Virulence – Degree of pathogenicity – Virulence factors contribute to virulence – Adhesion factors – Biofilms – Extracellular enzymes – Toxins – Antiphagocytic factors © 2012 Pearson Education Inc. Figure 14.8 Relative virulence of some microbial pathogens More virulent Francisella tularensis (rabbit fever) Yersinia pestis (plague) Bordetella pertussis (whooping cough) Pseudomonas aeruginosa (infections of burns) Clostridium difficile (antibiotic-induced colitis) Candida albicans (vaginitis, thrush) Lactobacilli, diphtheroids Less virulent The Nature of Infectious Disease • Virulence Factors of Infectious Agents – Extracellular enzymes – Secreted by the pathogen – Dissolve structural chemicals in the body – Help pathogen maintain infection, invade, and avoid body defenses © 2012 Pearson Education Inc. Figure 14.9a Some virulence factors: Extracellular enzymes Hyaluronidase and collagenase Bacterium Coagulase and kinase Bacterium Hyaluronidase Coagulase Clot Clotting protein Epithelial cells Kinase Collagenase Collagen layer Invasive bacteria reach epithelial surface. Bacteria produce hyaluronidase and collagenase. Extracellular enzymes Bacteria invade deeper tissues. Bacteria produce coagulase. Clot forms. Bacteria later produce kinase, dissolving clot and releasing bacteria. The Nature of Infectious Disease • Virulence Factors of Infectious Agents – Toxins – Chemicals that harm tissues or trigger host immune responses that cause damage – Toxemia refers to toxins in the bloodstream that are carried beyond the site of infection – Two types – Exotoxins – Endotoxins © 2012 Pearson Education Inc. Figure 14.9b Some virulence factors: Toxins Exotoxin Bacterium Endotoxin Exotoxin Phagocyte Phagocytized Gram bacteria Exocytosis Endotoxin Dead Gram bacteria Blood vessel Bacteria secrete exotoxins, in this Cytotoxin kills host’s cells. case a cytotoxin. Toxins Dead Gram-negative bacteria release endotoxin (lipid A), which induces effects such as fever, inflammation, diaarrhea, shock, and blood coagulation.

The Nature of Infectious Disease • The Stages of Infectious Disease – The disease process occurs following infection – Many infectious diseases have five stages following infection – Incubation period – Prodromal period – Illness – Decline – Convalescence © 2012 Pearson Education Inc. Number of microorganisms or intensity of signs or symptoms Figure 14.10 The stages of infectious diseases Incubation Prodromal period period (vague, (no signs or general symptoms) symptoms) Illness (most severe signs and symptoms) Time Decline (declining signs and symptoms) Convalescence (no signs or symptoms) The Movement of Pathogens Out of Hosts: Portals of Exit • Pathogens leave host through portals of exit • Many portals of exit are the same as portals of entry • Pathogens often leave hosts in materials the body secretes or excretes © 2012 Pearson Education Inc. Figure 14.11 Portals of exit Eyes (tears) Ear (earwax) Nose (secretions) Broken skin (blood) Mouth (saliva, sputum) Skin (flakes) In females: Mammary glands (milk, secretions) Vagina (secretions, blood) Anus (feces) Seminal vesicles (semen and lubricating secretions) Urethra (urine) Modes of Infectious Disease Transmission • Transmission is from a reservoir or a portal of exit to another host’s portal of entry • Three groups of transmission – Contact transmission – Direct, indirect, or droplet – Vehicle transmission – Airborne, waterborne, or foodborne – Vector transmission – Biological or mechanical © 2012 Pearson Education Inc. Modes of Infectious Disease Transmission ANIMATION Epidemiology: Transmission of Disease © 2012 Pearson Education Inc.
