what are cocci

round bacteria that appear alone or in groups

what are streptococci

pus forming bacteria arranged in curved lines like a string of beads, cause infections such as strep throat and blood poisoning

what is diplococci

spherical bacteria that grow in pairs and cause pneumonia

what is motility

self movement

what do bacteria consist of

an outer cell wall that contains liquid called protoplasm

what do bacteria do when they reach their largest size? what is this called

they divide into two new cells, called binary fission

what is inflammation

the body reacting to injury irritation or infection

what is a local infection + example

confined to a particular part of the body and appears as a pus-filled lesion, pimple or abscess

what is a systemic infection

what is a diagnosis

determination of the nature of a disease from its symptoms/diagnostic tests. federal regulations prohibit salon pros from diagnosing

give examples of organisms that produce pathogenic diseases

bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites

what are head lice

parasites, called pediculosis capitis

body's ability to destroy, resist, and recognize infection

brocess that destroys all microbial life

what is sterilization

brocess that destroys all microbial life

equipment that incorporates heat and pressure to sterilize

what is decontamination

the removal of blood + other infectious material on item surface, removal of visible debris/residue (dust hair skin)
