WHAT are bacteria that permanently colonize the host

Normal microbiota or normal flora

Normal microbiota WHAT the host, they occupy niches so that WHAT can't take up that space, and they produce WHAT and WHAT

Protect...pathogens...vitamins and bacteriocins

WHAT are microbes that may be present for relatively short periods of time, and are not necessarily WHAT

Transient microbiota...pathogenic

WHAT is where both organisms benefit. Like e.coli gives us vitamins and we give it nutrients and a stable environment

Mutualism

WHAT is where one organism benefits, and the other is unaffected. Like mycobacterium in the ear and genitals

Comensalism

WHAT is where one organism benefits at the expense of another, like pathogens

Parasitism

WHAT is the study of disease

Pathology

WHAT is the study of cause of something, diseases, in our case

Etiology

WHAT is the development of disease

Pathogenesis

WHAT is the colonization of the body by pathogens

Infection

WHAT is the abnormal state in the body in which the body is not functioning properly

Disease

WHAT are still used to demonstrate that a microbe causes an infectious disease

Koch's postulates

WHAT is a change in a body function that's felt or noticed by a patient as a result of a disease, can't be measured, like WHAT

Symptom...pain

WHAT is a change in a body that can be measured or observed as a result of a disease, such as WHAT or WHAT

Sign...fever...swelling

WHAT is a specific group of signs and symptoms that accompany a disease

Syndrome

WHAT is a disease that can be spread from host to host, example WHAT

Communicable ...chicken pox

WHAT disease is a disease that is easily spread from host to host, example the WHAT

Contagious...common cold

WHAT disease is a disease that's not spread from host to host. Example, WHAT

Noncommunicable...tetanus

WHAT is the fraction of a population that contracts a disease during a specific time frame. It indicates the spread of the disease cuz it shows the WHAT cases

Incidence...new

WHAT is the fraction of a population that has a disease at a specific time. This takes WHAT and WHAT cases into account

Prevalence ...old...new

WHAT disease occurs occasionally in a population, such as food poisoning/infection

Sporadic

WHAT is a disease that is constantly present, such as the common cold

Endemic

WHAT plus WHAT define the scope of the disease

Incidence...prevalence

WHAT disease is acquired by many people in a given area in a relatively short period of time. Such as WHAT and occasionally the flu

Epidemic ...STDs

WHAT is a worldwide epidemic. Like HIV and flu occasionally

Pandemic

In WHAT disease the symptoms develop rapidly, example the WHAT

Acute...flu

In WHAT disease it develops slowly, example is WHAT

Chronic...lymes disease

In WHAT disease the symptoms are between acute and chronic

Subacute

In WHAT disease there is a period of no symptoms when the causeitive agent is inactive, example WHAT

Latent...herpes

WHAT disease has no noticeable signs or symptoms, inapparent infection

Subclinical

WHAT is a toxic inflammatory condition arising from the spread of microbes, especially bacteria or their toxins, from a focus of infection

Sepsis

WHAT is bacteria in the blood aka blood poisoning

Bacteremia

WHAT is growth of bacteria in the blood, it's particularly dangerous

Septicemia

WHAT is toxins in the blood, example tetanus

Toxemia

WHAT is viruses in the blood, example is HIV

Viremia

Predisposing factors make the body more susceptible to disease. Factors like WHAT, or any type of chemical treatment. Pre- existing WHAT. WHAT traits, like the sickle cell gene. WHAT and WHAT. WHAT, WHAT and lifestyle

Chemotherapy....diseases....inherited...climate ...weather...fatigue...age

In every stage of a disease, the host is WHAT for the entire period

Contagious

Disease stages: WHAT is short in duration, early signs and symptoms

Prodromal

Disease stages:WHAT is most sever stage and where death can occur

Illness

Disease stages:WHAT is when the signs/symptoms reduce, and where secondary infections may occur

Decline

Disease stages: WHAT is the recovery period

Convalescence

WHAT is a continual source of infection. They vary with the WHAT

Reservoirs...disease

There can be WHAT reservoirs like soil or water

Nonliving

There can be WHAT reservoirs for HIV and STDS

Human

There can be WHAT reservoirs that are important for WHAT which are diseases present in the wild and passed to humans. Rabies, lymes

Animal...zoonoses

Disease can be spread by contact: WHAT contact requires close association between infected and susceptible host

Direct

Disease can be spread by contact: WHAT contact is spread by WHAT which are non living objects

Indirect...fomites

Disease can be spread by contact: WHAT airborne droplets

Droplet

Disease can be transmitted by: WHAT which is an inanimate reservoir, such as food, water, air, blood, IV fluids

Vehicle transmission

Disease can be transmitted by: WHAT which are arthropods, such as ticks, fleas, mosquitoes

Vectors

Vectors transmit by 2 general methods. WHAT transmission where the arthropod carries pathogen on feet. Or WHAT transmission where pathogen reproduces in vector

Mechanical...biological

WHAT is a hospital acquired infection that affects 5- 15% of all hospital patients

Nosocomial

WHAT is the study of where and when diseases occur

Epidemiology

WHAT is the number of people affected by a disease in a given period of time

Morbidity rate

WHAT is the number of deaths resulting from a disease in a population

Mortality rate

WHO instituted hand washing in a Vienna maternity clinic and reduced mortality to below 2%

Semmelweis

WHO was a British physician who tracked a cholera outbreak to a certain pump

John snow

WHO was a British statistatician who showed diseases, poor food, and conditions killed soldiers and was 1st woman in stat society

Florence nightingale

3 main branches of epidemiology recognized: WHAT, the collection and analysis of data, done by WHO

Descriptive ...john snow

3 main branches of epidemiology recognized: WHAT, the comparison of a diseased and healthy group, done by WHO

Analytical ...florence nightingale

3 main branches of epidemiology recognized: WHAT, controlled, scientific experiments, done by WHO
