| Disease-causing microorganisms carried in the body by blood or body fluids | bloodborne pathogens |
| Slender, hair-like extensions that permit locomotion in certain bacteria; their whip-like motion moves bacteria in liquid. | cilia |
| Round-shaped bacteria that appear singly or in groups | cocci |
| Disease that can be easily spread to others | contagious disease |
| Determining the nature of a disease or infection | diagnosis |
| Spherical bacteria that grow in pairs and cause diseases such as pneumonia | diplococci |
| Abnormal condition of all or part of the body, organ, or mind that makes it incapable of carrying out normal function | disease |
| An item that can be disinfected | disinfectable |
| Chemical agents that destroy most bacteria, fungi, and viruses, but not spores, on surfaces | disinfectants |
| Process that eliminates most microorganisms, but is not effective against bacterial spores | disinfection |
| Effectiveness with which a disinfecting solution kills germs, when used according to their label | efficacy |
| Contact with non-intact skin, blood, body fluid, or other potentially infectious materials that results from performance of an employee's duties | exposure incident |
| Slender, hair-like extensions that permit locomotion in certain bacteria; their whip-like motion moves bacteria in liquid | flagella (flagellum) |
| Microscopic plant parasites, including molds, mildews, and yeasts | fungi (fungus) |
| Capable of destroying fungi | fungicidal |
| Bloodblorne virus that causes disease affecting the liver | hepatitis |
| Human immunodeficiency virus; virus that can cause AIDS | HIV |
| Ability of the body to destroy and resist infection | immunity |
| Invasion of body tissue by pathogenic bacteria | infection |
| Infection that can be spread from one person to another person or from one infected body part to another | infectious |
| Body's response to injury or infection with redness, pain, heat, and swelling | inflammation |
| Any organism of microscopic to submicroscopic size | microorganism |
| Type of fungas that affects plants or grows on animate objects but does not cause human infections in the salon setting | mildews |
| Self-movement | motility |
| Safety information about products compiled by manufacturer | MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) |
| Items that can be cleaned, disinfected, and used on more than one person, even if the item is exposed to blood or body fuild | mult-use |
| Not harmful; organisms that may perform useful functions | non-pathogenic |
| Illness resulting from conditions associated with employment | occupational disease |
| Plant or animal organisms that derive nutrition from another organism | parasites |
| Causing disease; may cause harmful conditions or illnesses in humans | pathogenic |
| Skin disease caused by infestation of head lice | pediculosis capitis |
| Powerful tuberculocidal disinfectants | phenols |
| Absorbent, having pores or openings | porous |
| Type of disinfectant solution safe for all uses in the salon; commonly called quats | quaternary ammonium compounds |
| Cleaning to remove all visible residue and matter | sanitation or sanitizing |
| Contagious skin disease that is caused by the itch mite, which burrows under the skin | scabies |
| Disposable items that cannot be used more than once, either because they cannot be cleaned of all visible residue, or because cleaning and disinfecting damages them | single-use/disposable |
| Common household bleach; disinfectant for salon use | sodium hypochlorite |
| Sprial or corkscrew-shaped bacteria that can cause diseases such as syphilis and Lyme disease | spirilla |
| Pus-forming bacteria that grow in clusters like bunches of grapes; can cause abscesses, pustules, and boils | staphylococci |
| Process that completely destroys all microbial life, including spores | sterilization |
| Pus-forming bacteria arranged in curved lines resembling a string of beads; they can cause infections such as strep throat and blood poisoning | streptococci |
| Disinfectants that kill the bacteria that cause tuberculosis | tuberculocidal |
| 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 infectious | Universal Precautions |
| Capable of destroying viruses | virucidal |
| Microorganisms that can invade plants and animals, including bacteria | virus |
