SP Mod 3
Infection Prevention & Microbiology
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Prions | infectious agents composed entirely of a protein material that can fold in multiple, structurally abstract ways + cause neurodegenerative diseases like creutzfeldt-jakob disease CJD |
| Biocidal | capable of killing living organisms ex: bleach |
| Pathogens | microorganisms that cause a disease within a host |
| Semi-restricted traffic control area | peripheral support areas to the operating room, most of SPD, surgical scrub attire, & hair covering required |
| Gram-Positive | Stains purple, bacteria with thick peptidoglycan cell walls |
| pH | measure of zalkalinity on a scale of 0 to 14, 7=neutral <7= acid >7= alkaline |
| Protozoa | single-celled microorganism eukaryotes, often parasitic + can cause diseases such as malaria |
| Gram-negative | stains pink/red, bacteria with thin peptidoglyocan cell walls |
| Binary Fission | asexual reproduction where a single organism divides into 2 parts after replicating its genetic material |
| Micron | 1/25,000 of an inch or 1/1,000 of a millimeter |
| Unrestricted traffic control area | general areas like corridors offices + public spaces street clothes are permitted |
| vegetative state | state of active growth of microorganisms |
| Parenteral | something put inside body not by swallowing ex: injection administered to muscles |
| Colonization | process that occurs when microorganisms live on or in host organism but do not invade tissue or cause damage |
| Aespsis | the absence of disease causing microorganisms techniques: medical- reduces spread, surgical- eliminates all microogranisms |
| Restricted Traffic Control Area | where surgical procedures happen + SPD decontamination area, all PPE required here |
| Sterile | absence of all living microorganisms |
| Anaerobic | organisms that do not require oxygen + could potentially be harmed by oxygen |
| Bacteria | single-celled microorganism that can be beneficial or pathogens to humans |
| Doffing | remove order: 1. shoe covers 2. gown + gloves 3. face shield 4. mask 5. head cover 6. wash hands |
| Endospores | a dormant call produced by certain bacteria. used as monitoring device of BI (biological control) resistant to enviro stresses (heat, UV, radiation) |
| Microbiology | study of microorganisms, the scientific study of nature, life, + action of microorganisms |
| Donning | put on order 1. gown 2. mask 3. face shield/goggles 4. shoe covers 5. gloves |
| Surgical Site Infection SSI | infection that occurs after surgery where the surgery took place on the body |
| Carrier | person infected with infectious disease but displays no symptoms |
| Fungi | microorganism including yeasts + molds, sometimes pathogenic |
| Fomite | inanimate object that can transmit bacteria |
| Viruses | a type of microorganism acellular entities that require a host to replicate + may cause diseases |
| Aerobic | organisms that require oxygen to survive |
| Gram Straining | method to classify bacteria based on properties of their cell walls |
| Chain of Infection | causative agent - pathogen reservoir- environment where pathogen lives (infected host) portal of exit- how pathogen leaves (respiratory tract, wounds, etc) |
| Chain of Infection pt 2 | mode of transportation - touch, fluids portal of entry- pathogen enters new host susceptible host- person vulnerable to infection |
