Infection Control
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| AIDS | a disease that breaks down the body's immune system. AIDS is caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) |
| acquired immunity | immunity that the body develops after overcoming a disease, through inoculation (such as flu vaccinations) or through exposure to natural allergens such as pollen, cat dander, and ragweed |
| allergy | reaction due to extreme sensitivity to certain foods, chemicals, or other normally harmless substances |
| antiseptics | chemical germicide formulated for use on skin; registered and regulated by the Food and Drug Administration |
| bacilli | singular:bacillus; short, rod-shaped bacteria. They are the most common bacteria and produce diseases such as tetanus(lockjaw), typhoid fever, tuberculosis, and diphtheria |
| bacteria | one-celled microorganisms that have both plant and animal characteristics. some are harmful, some are harmless |
| binary fission | the division of bacteria cells into two new cells called daughter cells |
| biofilms | colonies of bacteria that adhere together and adhere to environmental surfaces |
| bloodborne pathogens | disease-causing microorganisms carried in the body by blood or body fluids, such as hepatitis and HIV |
| chelating soaps | also known as chelating detergents, they break down stubborn films and remove the residue of pedicure products such as scrubs, salts, and masks |
| clean (cleaning) | a mechanical process (scrubbing) using soap and water or detergent and water to remove all visible dirt, debris, and many disease-causing germs. cleaning also removes invisible debris that interfere with disinfection. required BEFORE disinfecting |
| cocci | round-shaped bacteria that appear singularly, or in groups. the three types of cocci are staphylococci, streptococci, and diplococci |
| contagious disease | also known as communicable disease; disease that is spread from one person to another. Some of the more contagious diseases are the common cold, ringworm, conjunctivitis (pink eye), viral infections, and natural nail or toe infections |
| contamination | the presence, or the reasonably anticipated presence, of blood or other potentially infectious materials on an items surface or visible debris or residues such as dust, hair and skin |
| decontamination | the removal of blood and all other potentially infectious materials on an items surface, and the removal of visible debris or residue such as dust, hair, and skin |
| diagnosis | determination of the nature of a disease from its symptoms and/or diagnostic test. federal regulations prohibit salon professionals from performing a diagnosis |
| diplococci | spherical bacteria that grow in pairs and cause diseases such as pneumonia |
| direct transmission | transmission of blood or body fluids through touching (including shaking hands), kissing, coughing, sneezing and talking |
| disease | an abnormal condition of all or part of the body, or its systems or organs, which makes the body incapable of carrying on normal function |
| disinfectants | chemical products approved by the EPA designed to destroy most bacteria (excluding spores), fungi, and viruses on surfaces. |
| disinfection | a chemical process that destroys most, but not necessarily all, harmful organisms on environmental surfaces. the pathogens of concern in the cosmetology industry are effectively destroyed by the disinfection process, which is required in all states |
| efficacy | the ability to produce and effect |
| exposure incident | contact with non-intact (broken) skin, blood, body fluid, or other potentially infectious material that is the result of the performance of an employee's duties |
| flagella | slender, hair-like extensions used by bacilli and spirilla for locomotion (moving about). may also be referred to as cillia |
| folliculitis barbae | (tinea barbae) also known as barbers itch, inflammation of the hair follicles caused by a bacterial infection from ingrown hairs. the cause is typically from ingrown hairs due to shaving or other epilation methods |
| fungi | single celled organisms that grow in irregular masses that include molds, mildews, and yeasts; can produce contagious diseases such as ringworm |
| fungicidal | capable of destroying fungi |
| hepatitis | a bloodborne virus that causes disease and can damage the liver |
| hospital disinfectants | disinfectants that are effective for cleaning blood or body fluids |
| HIV | human immunodeficiency virus; virus that causes acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) |
| human papilloma virus | (HPV) a virus that causes warts in humans, but is also the cause of cervical cancer in women. when the virus infects the bottom of the foot and resembles small black dots, usually in clustered groups, it is also called plantar warts. |
| immunity | the ability of the body to destroy and resist infection. immunity against disease can be either natural or acquired, and is a sign of good health. |
| indirect transmission | transmission of blood or body fluids through contact with an intermediate contaminated object such as a razor, extractor, nipper, or an environmental surface |
| infection | the invasion of body tissues by disease-causing pathogens |
| infection control | are the methods used to eliminate or reduce the transmission of infectious organisms |
| infectious | caused by or capable of being transmitted by infection |
| infectious disease | disease caused by pathogenic (harmful) microorganisms that enter the body. an infectious disease may be spread from one person to another |
| inflammation | a condition in which the body reacts to injury, irritation, or infection; characterized by redness, heat, pain and swelling |
| local infection | an infection, such as a pimple or abscess, that is confined to a particular part of the body and appears as a lesion containing pus |
| Material Safety Data Sheets | (MSDS) information compiled by the manufacturer about product safety, including the names of hazardous ingredients, safe handling, and use procedures, precautions to reduce the risk of accidental harm or overexposure, and flammability warnings |
| methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aurerus | (MRSA) a type of infectious bacteria that is highly resistant to conventional treatments due to incorrect doses or choice of antibiotic |
| microorganism | any organism of microscopic or submicroscopic size |
| mildew | a type of fungus that affects plants or grows on inanimate objects, but does not cause human infections in the salon |
| motility | self-movement |
| multiuse items | also known as reusable items; items that can be cleaned, disinfected and used on more than one person, even if the item is accidentally exposed to blood or body fluid |
| mycobacterium fortuitum | a microscopic germ that normally exists in tap water in small numbers |
| natural immunity | immunity that is partly inherited and partly developed through healthy living |
| nonpathogenic | harmless microorganisms that may perform useful functions and are safe to come in contact with since they do not cause disease or harm |
| nonporous | an item that is made or constructed of a material that has no pores or openings and cannot absorb liquids |
| occupational disease | illness resulting from conditions associated with employment, such as prolonged and repeated overexposure to certain products or ingredients |
| parasites | organisms that grow, feed and shelter on or in another organism (referred to as the host), while contributing nothing to the survival of that organism. parasites must have a host to survive. |
| parasitic disease | disease caused by parasites, such as lice or mites |
| pathogenic | harmful microorganisms that can cause disease or infection in humans when they invade the body |
| pathogenic disease | disease produced by organisms, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites |
| phenolic disinfectants | powerful tuberculocidal disinfectants. they are a form of formaldehyde, has a very high pH, and can damage the skin and eyes |
| porous | made or constructed of a material that has pores or openings. Porous items are absorbant |
| pus | a fluid created by infection |
| quaternary ammonium comounds | (quats)products made of quaternary ammonium cations and are designed for disinfection on nonporous surfaces. they are appropriate for usein critical (non-invasive) envirnments and are effective against most pathogens or concern in the salon envirnment |
