Infection Control Following Aseptic Concepts • Decrease transmission of disease • Reduce severity of disease • Might save a life Categories of Disease • Hereditary • Degenerative • Drug-induced • Communicative • Autoimmune • Infectious Chain of Infection • • • • • • Susceptible Host Causative agent Reservoir Portal of exit Mode of transmission Portal of entry Factors Affecting the Ability of a Pathogen to Cause Disease • Susceptibility • Virulence • Number • Environment Defense Mechanisms • Primary • Secondary Main Classifications of Microorganisms • Bacteria • Protozoa • Fungi • Rickettsia • Viruses Cocci Bacilli Protozoa Fungi Ringworm PCP Candida Albicans Yeast Rickettsia Tick Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever This micrograph reveals the presence of intracellular Rocky Mountain spotted fever bacteria, Rickettsia rickettsii. Spotted fever group rickettsiae can grow in the nucleus or in the cytoplasm of the host cell. Once inside the host the rickettsiae multiply, resulting in damage and death of these cells. Viruses Rhinovirus causes common cold Togavirus causes rubella Adenovirus causes respiratory infection Herpes virus Ebola virus Diseases Caused by Viruses • • • • • Common colds Measles Mumps Chicken Pox Herpes • • • • • Warts Influenza Polio HIV Hepatitis B Ways Microorganisms Cause Disease • Produces toxins • Produces an allergic reaction • Attack and destroy the living cells Levels of Aseptic Control • Antisepsis • Disinfection • Sterilization
