| Bactericidal | Capable of destroying bacteria. |
| Bloodborne Pathogens | Disease-causing microorganisms carried in the body by blood or body fluids. |
| Cilia | Slender, hair-like extensions that permit locomotion in certain bacteria; their whip-like motion moves bacteria in liquid. |
| Cocci | Round shaped bacteria that appear singly (alone) or in groups. |
| Contagious Disease | Diseases that can be easily spread to others by contact. |
| Diagnosis | Determiningthe nature of a disease or infection. |
| Diplococci | Spherical bacteria that grow in pairs and cause diseases such as pneumonia. |
| Disease | Abnormal condition of all or part of the body, organ, or mind that makes it incapable of carrying out normal function. |
| Disinfectable | An item that can be disinfected. |
| Ddisinfectants | Chemmical agents that destroy most bacteria, fungi and viruses, but not spores, on surfaces. |
| Disinfection | Process that eleminates most microorganisms, but is not effective against bacterial spores. |
| Efficacy | Effictiveness with which a disinfecting solution kills germs, when used according to the label. |
| Exposure Incident | Contact with non-intact skin, blood, body fluid or other potentially infectious materials that result from performance of an employees duties. |
| Flagella (singular: flagellum) | Slender, hair-like extensions that permit locomotion in certain bacteria; their whip-like motion moves bacteria in liquid. |
| Fungi (singular: fungus) | Microscopic plant parasites, including molds, mildews, and yeasts. |
| Fungicidal | Capable of destroying fungi. |
| Hepatitis | Bloodborne virus that causes disease affecting the liver. |
| HIV | Human immunonodeficiency virus; virus that can cause AIDS. |
| Immunity | Ability of the body to destroy and resist infection. |
| Infection | Invasion of body tissue by pathogenic bacteria. |
| Infectious | Infections that can be spread from one person to another person or from one infected body part to another. |
| Inflammation | Body's response to injury or infection with redness,heat,pain, and swelling. |
| Microorganism | Any organism of microscopic to submicroscopic size. |
| Mildews | Types of fungus that affects plants or grows on in animate objects but does not cause human infections in the salon setting. |
| Motility | Self-movement |
| Material Saftey Data Sheets (MSDS) | Material Saftey Data Sheet; safety information about products compiled by manufacturer. |
| Multi-use | items that can be cleaned, disinfected, and used on more than one person, even if the item is exposed to blood or body fluid. |
| Nonpathogenic | Not harmful; organisms that may perform useful functions. |
| Occupational Disease | Illness resulting from conditions associated with employment. |
| Parasites | Plant or animal organisms that derive nutrition from another organism. |
| Pathogenic | Causing disease; may cause harmful conditions or illnesses in humans. |
| Pediculosis Capitis | Skin disease caused by infestation of head lice. |
| Phenolics | Powerful tuberculocidal disinfectants. |
| Porous | Absorbant, having pores or openings. |
| Quaterny Ammonium Compounds | Type of disinfectent solution safe for all uses in the salon; commonly called quats. |
| Sanitation or Sanitizing | Cleaning to remove all visable residue and matter. |
| Scabies | Contagious skin disease that is caused by the itch mite, which burrows under the skin. |
| Single-use or Disposable | Disposable items that cannot be used more than once, either because they cannot be cleaned of all visable residue (such as pumice stones used for pedicures), or because cleaning and disinfecting damages them. |
| Sodium Hypochlorite | Common hoousehold bleach; disinfectent for salon use. |
| Spirilla | Spiral or corkscrew-shaped bacteria that can cause diseases such as syphillis and Lyme disease. |
| Staphylococci | Pus-forming bacteria that grow in clusters like bunches of grapes, can cause abscesses, pustules and boils. |
| Sterilization | Process that completely destroys all microbial life, including spores. |
| Streptococci | Pus-forming bacteria arranged in curved lines resembling a string of beads; they can cause infections such as strep throat and blood poisioning. |
| Tuberculocidal | Disinfectants that kill the bacteria that cause tuberculosis. |
| Universal Precautions | Set of guidelines published by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration that requires the employer and employee to assume that all human blood and body fluids contain pathogens and are thus infectus. |
| Virucidal | Capable of destroying viruses. |
| Virus | Microorganism that can invade plants and animals, including bacteria. |
