Cards

Term
conjunctiva: methods of transmission
Definition
contaminated fingers
towels
Term
conjunctiva: host defenses 3
Definition
lacrmial gland tears flush things
lysozyme antimicrobial in tears
eyelids wipe microbes away
Term
conjunctiva: microbe infection 3
Definition
need good attachment
interfere with lacrimal gland secetions
cause conjunctiva or eyelid damage
Term
skin: transmission 2
Definition
shedding: increased in physical activity, dressing, content of dust

direct contact
Term
skin: host defenses6
Definition
FA inactivate microbes not flora
peptides made by kertinocytes
sebacous glands: salts
materials made by flora
keratin layer
shedding
Term
skin: microbe infection
Definition
parasite rate of growth exceeds shedding
infect wound
travel on soil or water
Term
skin: infection examples 5
Definition
superficial and dermatophyte fungi
parasites: hookworm, strongyloides, protozoa
Term
respiratory: transmission 7
Definition
nasal secretions
cough
sneeze
touching conjunctiva
spread in a crowd
poor ventilation in humid room
dry air conditioning impairs mucoculluary activity
Term
respiratory: host defenses 3
Definition
mucous traps microbes in upper respiratory
cilia carries contaminants to throat to be swallowed
alveolar macrophages
Term
respiratory: microbe invasion 4
Definition
attach to mucocilliary surfaces with adhesins
inhibit ciliary activity (ciliostatic)
asbestous and dust damage macrophages causing susceptability
take advantage of opportunity: current infection, smoking, ventilator
Term
respiratory: examples of infections 5
Definition
rhinovirus, influenza, measles, S. pyogenes, meningitis
Term
GI: transmission 4
Definition
poor public health
poor hygiene
diarrhea
unclean waer
Term
GI: host defenses 11
Definition
peristalsis
diarrhea
vomiting
mucous
acids
bile
enzymes
IgA
IgG
normal flora
M cells deliver microbes to peyer's patches to make immune cells
Term
GI: microbe actions 8
Definition
use special attachment methods
counter act mucous
counter act bile and acid: genetics
release toxins: disrrhea increases protein absorption and distribution of toxins
utilize peyer;s patch to spread
take advantage of susceptability: increased pH, reduced peristalsis
establish surface mucous for infection and pathogenicity
enter body on larger scale and gaiin access through rectum
Term
how can a microbe counter act GI mucous 2
Definition
propellers to swim through to epithelium
passive transport through the layer
Term
how can a microbe attach to the GI wall 4
Definition
adhere to the mucous instead
brace against peristalsis
suckers and hooks
penetrate mucous and live in deep tissue (cyst)
Term
GI: microbe infection examples 2
Definition
S. typhi, shigella
Term
how are STIs spread 7
Definition
mucosal contact
discharge
mucosal sores
reduce in condom use
less monogomy
genito-oral-anal cross over
semen
Term
perinatal transmission: where does it infect 2, what microbes 8
Definition
conjunctiva, lungs

group B strep, E. coli. HSV, listeria, rubella, toxoplasmosa, T. pallidum, HIV
Term
vagina: host defenses 2
Definition
glycogen in reproductive ages is fermented by lactobacilli, streptococci, and diptheroids and make it a pH of 5 and prevent other microbes

secretions prevent attachment
Term
vagina: microbe invasion 3
Definition
enter of forigen objects: catheter, penis, tamopns

take advantage of injuries in sex to penetrate despite secretions

take advantage of imapired defenses: estrogen imbalance, aging
Term
vagina: microbe invasion examples 3
Definition
gohorrhea, HSV2, chlamydia
Term
urethra and bladder: transmission 3
Definition
urine in food, drink, and living spaces
Term
urethra and bladder: host defenses 7
Definition
lower urethra: flushing of urine, mucous layer, lysozyme

bladder: normally sterile, low pH, mucous layer, inflammatory response
Term
urethra and bladder: microbe invasion 6
Definition
invade from utethral oriface
attach so urine does not flush them
parasite directed endocytosis
live in moist area beneath foreskin
intestinal bacteria travel over
introduced through catheters
Term
urethra and bladder infection examples 3
Definition
schistosoma hematobium, leptospria, CMV
Term
oropharynx: transmission 5
Definition
saliva in caough, sneeze, fingers, objects, kissing
Term
oropharynx: host defenses 6
Definition
flushing of saliva
movement of chewing, tongue, cheeks lips
IgA
lysozyme in saliva
normal flora
leukocytes in saliva
Term
oropharynx: microbe actions 2
Definition
invade when susctible
attach to mucosa or tooth
Term
give an example of parasite directed endocytosis
Definition
bacterial pili attach to syndecan like proteoglycan on urethra cell and it invades the cell
Term
when are defenses down in the oropharynx 4
Definition
vit c deficiency allows gum infections
resident flora decreased after antibiotics
saliva flow decreased
dehydration
Term
how do microbes attach in oropharynx
Definition
lipoteichoic acid on pilli attach to buccal epithelium, tongue, teeth, pharynx
Term
what are the three things transmission depends on, why
Definition
number of microbes shed: many die on their way to a new host. certian number needed to infect

microbe stabilty in enivornment: resist drying, thermal inactivation, chemicals. make spores, cysts, go in arthropod, food, or water to help

genetics: ability to damage and cause disease helps transmission (cough, sneeze, secretions). most effective transmission is human to human
Term
milk transmission: how does it get infected
Definition
milk from cow, goat, sheep infected before or after collection.
human milk rarley infected
Term
blood transmission: what methods, examples 7
Definition
arthropds, needles, organ or tissue transplant, medical treatment without disposable synranges

HBV, HCV, rabies, prions, HIV, HepC, HepB
Term
define verticle transmission, give examples of vectors 4
Definition
between parent and offspring
sperm, ovum, placenta, milk, blood
Term
define horizontal transmission, what vectors, give examples
Definition
contact with people or respiratory secretions

fecal oral: enteric bacteria, protozoa, enterovirus

vector

infected food and water: toxoplasmosa gondii, helminths (trichinella, teneia)
Term
blood sucker transmission 2
Definition
insects: house flies, snad flies, mosquitoes, black flies, lice, fleas

acarids: ticks, mites
Term
passive carriage
Definition
bug transfers microbe on mouth parts, bodies, or within intestines

transfer is a result of feeding or defecation
Term
biological transmission
Definition
bug transfers microbe due to contaminated feces or regurgitated blood deposited at feeding
Term
intermediate host definition, 4 examples
Definition
transmit pathogens in our food

snails: nematode
oyste: muscle
lobster: termatode
filter feeders: HepA, cholerae
