Terms - Sanitation & Disinfection
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Acquired Immunity | Immunity developed when body overcomes disease/ through inoculation |
| AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome) | Disease caused by HIV virus; breaks down the body's immune system |
| Antiseptics | Chemical agent that kills, retard/ prevent bacteria growth; not disinfectant |
| Aseptic Procedure | Process of properly handling sterilized & disinfected implements & supplies so that they don't become contaminated by microogranism |
| Asymptomatic | shows no symptoms/ signs of infection |
| Autoclave | Apparatus fro sterilization by steam under pressure |
| Bacilli (singular: bacillus) | Short, rod-shaped; most common bacteria; cause diseases - tetanus, typhoid fever, tuberculosis & diphtheria |
| Bacteria | 1 celled microorganism w/both animal & plant characteristics; some harmful, some harmless |
| Bactericidal | capable of destroying bacteria |
| Bloodborne Pathogens | Disease-causing bacteria/ viruses that are carried through the body in the blood/body fluids |
| Cocci | round, appear alone/in groups; pathogenic bacteria |
| Contagious | communicable/transmittable by contact |
| Contaminants | Substances that can cause contamination |
| Contaminated | when an object/product has microorganisms in/on it |
| Cross-Contamination | contamination; occurs when you touch an object & then another object/product w/the same hand or utensil |
| Decontamination | removal of pathogens & other substances from tools & surfaces |
| Diplococci | Spherical bacteria; grows in pairs & cause diseases (ex: pneumonia) |
| Disinfectant | Chemical agent used to destroy most bacteria & some viruses & disinfect implements & surfaces |
| Disinfection | 2nd highest level of decontamination, does not kill bacteria spores; used on hard & nonporous surfaces |
| Efficacy | effectiveness |
| Fungi (singular: fungus) | vegetable parasites (molds, mildew & yeasts) |
| Fungicidal | Capable of destroying fungi |
| General Infection | Infection results when bloodstream carries bacteria/ viruses & their toxins to all parts of the body |
| Hepatitis | Disease; inflamation of the liver & caused by a bloodborne virus |
| HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) | cause AIDS |
| Immunity | ability of the body to destroy any bacteria that have gained entrance into the body & to resist infection |
| Infection | pathogenic microorganisms invaded the body tissue & have evidence of pus |
| Local Infection | infection that is confined to a particular part of the body & lesion containing pus |
| Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) | information compiled by the manufacturer about its product, ranging ingredient content to associated hazards to combustion levels & storage requirements |
| Microorganisms | microscopic plant/ animal cell |
| Natural Immunity | natural resistance to disease; partly inherited & partly developed through hygienic living |
| Nonpathogenic | harmless; not disease-producing |
| Parasite | organism that lives in/on another organism & draws its nourishment from that organism |
| Pathogenic | harmful; causing diseases |
| Phenol | disinfectant; carbolic acid; caustic poison; 5% dilute solution is used to sanitize metal implements |
| Pseudomonacidal | capable of destroying Pseudomonas bacteria |
| Pus | fluid product of inflammation; contains white blood cells, debris of dead cells, tissue elements & bacteria |
| Quaternary Ammonium Compounds (quats) | disinfectanat; nontoxic, odorless & fast-acting |
| Sanitation | 3rd level of decontamination; reducing the number of pathogens/disease-producing organisms found on surface |
| Scabies | contagiousskin disease caused by an itch mite burrowing under the skin |
| Spirilla | spiral/corkscrew-shaped bacteria; cause syphilis, Lyme disease & other diseases |
| Staphylococci | grows in cluster; pus-forming bacteria; cause abscesses, pustules & boils |
| Sterilization | highest level of decontamination; completely kills every organism on a nonporous surface |
| Streptococci | bacteria, arranged in curved lines resembling string of beads; cause infections, strep throat & blood poisoning |
| Tuberculocidal | capable of destroying bacteria that cause tuberculosis |
| Universal Precautions | Set of Guidelines & controls, published by Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC); requires employer & employee to assume that all human blood & specified body fluids are infectious for HIV, HBV & other bloodborne pathogens |
| Virucidal | capable of destroying virus |
| Virus | Submicroscopic structure, capable of infesting almost all plants & animals, bacteria; lives only by penetrating cells & become part of them |
