Question
Answer
The study of small living organisms is called microbes   Microbiology  
🗑
Germs or microbes   Bacteria  
🗑
Disease-producing bacteria   Pathogenic  
🗑
Nondisease-producing bacteria   Nonpathogenic  
🗑
Nonpathogenic bacteria that live on dead matter   Saprophytes  
🗑
The study of bacteria is called   Bacteriology  
🗑
Bacteria’s 3 basic shapes   1. Circular 2. Spiral 3. Rod-shaped  
🗑
Spherical or round shaped bacterial cells, which appear singularly or in groups   Cocci  
🗑
3 Groups of Cocci   1. Staphylococci 2. Streptococci 3. Diplococci  
🗑
Pus forming bacterial cells that form grape like bunches or clusters and are present in abscesses, pustules and boils   Staphylococci  
🗑
Pus forming bacterial cells, which form in long chains and can cause septicemia   Streptococci  
🗑
Bacterial cells that grow in pairs and are the cause of certain infections, including pneumonia   Diplococci  
🗑
Most common form of bacterial cells. Bar or rod shaped cells that produce a variety of diseases including tetanus, bacterial influenza, typhoid fever, tuberculosis and diphtheria   Bacilli  
🗑
Spiraled, coiled, corkscrew-shaped bacterial cells that cause highly contagious diseases such as syphilis and cholera   Spirilla  
🗑
During this stage, bacteria reproduce and grow rapidly   Active Stage  
🗑
In this stage, bacteria is inactive or cells die   Inactive Stage  
🗑
Bacilli and Spirilla move using hairlike projections called   Flagella or cilia  
🗑
Sub-microscopic infectious agent that replicates itself only within cells of living hosts and many are pathogenic   Virus  
🗑
Organisms that grow and feed on other living organisms which are referred to as hosts   External parasites  
🗑
2 parasitic animals   Pediculosis capitis (head lice) Scabies (itch mites)  
🗑
Growth of a parasitic organism with in the body   Infection  
🗑
Microorganisms are referred to as ________ and include viruses, bacteria, Protozoa and fungi   Pathogens  
🗑
Caused by pathogenic bacteria or viruses that enter the body and multiply to the point of interfering with the body’s normal state. Transmitted through casual contact or exchange of body fluids   Infectious Disease  
🗑
Infectious and can be communicable by casual contact but not always.   Contagious disease  
🗑
Term used to describe the efforts to prevent the spread of disease and kill microbes   Infection Control  
🗑
3 Levels of control which include:   Sanitation, lowest level Disinfection, second level Sterilization, highest level  
🗑
Prevention of the spread of infectious agents to you and your clients   Infection control  
🗑
Comprise the 3 levels of infection control   Sanitation Disinfection Sterilization  
🗑
Low-level destruction of surface bacteria   Sanitation  
🗑
Eliminates bacteria, viruses and most organisms on inanimate non-porous surfaces. Recommended for all esthetic implements and surfaces   Disinfection  
🗑
Eliminates all living organisms on non-porous surfaces, including bacterial spores that adhere to surgical instruments in medical treatment rooms   Sterilization  
🗑
Arrest or prevent the growth of microorganisms on the skin   Antiseptics  
🗑
Include hand washing, using personal protective equipment, such as gloves and safety glasses when necessary, an properly disinfecting all skin care implements and surfaces to prevent cross-contamination   Infection-control procedures  
🗑
A set of guidelines established by the center for disease control, means using the same infection control practices on all clients.   Universal Precautions  
🗑
Presents a risk for skin care professionals especially during facials, extractions and waxing   Exposure to blood  
🗑
Removes microorganisms by lifting them from the surface of the skin.   Handwashing  
🗑
Should be followed for all tools and implements that come in contact with blood or body fluids. High-level disinfection requires the use of EPA-registered hospital-level disinfectant and labeled as effective against HIV-1 and Hep B or Tuberculocidal   OSHA’s Bloodborne Pathogen Standard  
🗑
Which means the ability to produce results, or effectiveness   Efficacy  
🗑
Require sterilization since they come into contact with sterile tissue or the vascular system   Critical objects  
🗑
Items need categorized as non-curtail, meaning they make contact with intact skin, need to be sanitized   Sanitation  
🗑
Categorized as semi-critical, meaning they make make contact with mucous membranes or skin that is not intact (broken), need to be disinfected   Disinfection  
🗑
Categorized as critical, meaning they are intended to enter tissue or come into contact with vascular system, need to be sterilized   Sterilization  
🗑
