A relationship between humans and microorganisms which BENEFITS the Human and DOES NOT HARM the microorganism
Symbiosis
1 of 23
Benefits Human AND Microorganism
Mutualism
2 of 23
BENEFITS Microorganism & DOES NOT HARM Human
Commensalism
3 of 23
BENEFIST Microorganism and HARMS the Human
Pathogenicity
4 of 23
Benign microorganism becomes PATHOGENIC due to decreased human host defences
Opportunism
5 of 23
The 1st stage of infection, microorganisms are transmitted into a susceptible host environment
Colonisation
6 of 23
The 2nd stage of infection, the infectious agent spreads to surrounding tissues
Invasion
7 of 23
The 3rd stage of infection, bacteria undergo rapid multiplication in a warm, nutrient rich environment
Multiplication
8 of 23
The 4th stage of infection, where the infection can remain localised or spread to other areas of the body
Spread
9 of 23
the 1st stage of the clinical infectious disease process; the interval between exposure to an infectious agent and the appearance of symptoms
Incubation Period
10 of 23
The 2nd stage of the Clinical Infectious Disease Process, the appearance of mild symptoms e.g. tiredness & discomfort
Prodromal Stage
11 of 23
The 3rd stage of Clinical Infectious Disease process; signs and symptoms of disease are most obvious and severe
Invasion Period
12 of 23
The 4th and final stage of Clinical Infection Disease process; the immune and inflammatory systems successfully remove infectious agent
Convalescence Period
13 of 23
Fever is a raised temperature above normal i.e. oral temp of 37.2c
Pyrexia
14 of 23
A circulating proteins that can cause fever
Pyrogens
15 of 23
Controls the body temperature regulations
Hypothalamus
16 of 23
Bacteria with no enclosed nucleus
Prokaryotic
17 of 23
Bacteria become resistant by changing antigens
Antigenic Variation
18 of 23
Bacteria being transported in the blood due to failure of body's defence systems
Bacteraemia
19 of 23
Infection with a fungus
Mycosis
20 of 23
Any living thing that lives in or on another living organism
Parasite
21 of 23
Single celled parasitic organisms
Protozoa
22 of 23
