53 Cards in this Set

  • Front
  • Back
antibiotic
CHEMICAL MADE BY MICROORGANISM which inhibits or kills another microorganism
antimicrobial agent
any CHEMICAL which can inhibit or kill another microorganism
drug
any chemical that has a physiological effect
bacteriocidal
KILLS bacteria
bacteriostatic
inhibits bacteria
What are some things a doctor considers before prescribing medicine?
Susceptibility test results, allergies, family medical history, pregnant/nursing, where infection is located, how antimicrobial agent can be delivered, age etc.
Kirby-Bauer test
Mueller-hinton agar. AKA Disk diffusion method. Disks containing an antimicrobial agent are placed on the surface of an agar plate that has been inoculated with the disease agent being tested, which will grow and fill the disk. The antimicrobial agent diffuses into the medium, killing some of the disease agent.
What is S I R
susceptible, intermediate (allergies) and resistant
MIC
minimal inhibitory concentration; the least amount of an antimicrobial agent that completely inhibits the growth of a microorganism
MBC
minimal bacteriocidal concentration; least amount of antimicrobial agent that kills a microorganism.
serum killing level
least amount of patients serum that kills patients organism
infectious disease
presence of microorganism, have ability to multiply, microorganisms must be harmful
first line of defense
physical+chemical ways body keeps microorganisms out:

skin, perspiration, cough, sneeze, urination, stomach acid, mucus membrane, tears, cilia, vomit, diarrhea
second line of defense
nonspecific ways body gets rid of what passed through 1st line:

phagocytosis, inflamation, fever, complement system
third line of defense
SPECIFIC ways immune system targets organisms that have gotten into the body
antigen
a SUBSTANCE usually a protein which STIMULATES BODY to make antibodies
antibody
a PROTEIN made by the body IN RESPONSE to a stimulus of an antigen. SPECIFIC TO ANTIGEN!!
immunoglobulins
antibodies, globulins in the immune system
atigen requires 5 globulins:
IgG, IgA, IgM, IgD, IgE

(GEDMA)
IgG
fixes complement, blood, crosses placenta, monomer
IgM
fixes complement, blood, pentamer
IgE
monomer, blood, allergic reactions
IgA
body fluids other than blood, dimer
IgD
attached to lymphocytes, monomer
agglutination
when ANTIBODY AND ANTIGEN CONNECT, monomers connect to diff antigens (grabs and holds antigens like glue)
antitoxin
an antibody with the ability to neutralize a specific toxin
Active immunity
your own body makes antibodies, natural, artificial or acquired, last year or lifetime
JOBS ANTIBODIES DO:
agglutination, precipitation, antitoxin, lysin, fix complement, neutralize
passive immunity
In passive immunity, individuals do not have the antibodies, but rather, are passed down to them naturally or through human intervention.
vaccines
part of an organism, whole dead organism, whole live attenuated organism, similar organism
B lymphocytes
memory cell, plasma cells bone marrow (blood) (particularly white blood cells) B lymphocytes can morph into plasma cell which makes antibodies
T lymphocytes
bone marrow to thymus to blood.

memory cell,

T helper cells (recognize combo of self antigen and foreign antigen and sends signal for more T &B lymph) then if proliferates and differentiate

supressor/regulator (says stop)

cytotoxic (T lymph lyses foreign cell)

natural killer ( lyse cells will attack any foreign cell)
Blood type A
anti B (agglut)
Blood type B
anti A (agglut)
blood type a+b
neither antibodies (aglut)
O
both a and b anti (no aglut)
+
Rh or D (agglut)
-
no Rh or D (no aglut)
MAJOR crossmatch
RBC of donor
+
plasma of recipient
no agglut=compatible
agglut= not agglut
Minor crossmatch
plasma of donor
+
RBC of recipient
Mycology
study of fungi
fungus:
a HETEROTROPHIC thallus plant with MYCELIUM THAT CANNOT PHOTOSYNTHESIZE
thallus plant
no stems roots or leaves
mycelium
vegetative part from one colony of a fungus
phylum (singular)/ sexual spores
Oomycota (water mold)
zygomycota
ascomycota
basidiomycota (mushrooms)

aka oospore, zygospore etc. ALL SEXUAL SPORES
deuteromycota
fungi no one has seen sexually reproduce (no spore)

ASEXUAL SPORES:
anthrospores, chlamydospores, blastospores, microspores, macrospores (two M's=hair, skin & nails)
sporangiospores
oomycota or zygomycota
conidiospores
asco mycota or basidiomycota
spore
conidium
spores
conidia
common fungal infections
athletes foot, yeast infection

fatal yeast= Cryptococcus
blastospores
yeasts
chlamydiospores
lasting through harsh conditions
