Where you can get an infectious disease:
Plane old infectious diseases that we get because someone sneezed on us. Flu, colds, etc. NOT from a medical setting. When infectious disease has been acquired from a medical treatment, advice, procedure e.g. catheter, IV surgery ID acquired in the hospital/treatment center e.g. wound infections, pneumonia, etc. |
Community
Iatrogenic Nosocomial |
|
Proteins, not living at all, but they can cause disease
|
prions
|
|
Disease transmission can be _____ or _____
Indirect involves _____. |
Indirect
Direct (involving person-to-person) Vectors |
|
What etiologies live in the soil
|
fungi
|
|
Indirect transmission (as opposed to direct person to person) involves _____ and _____ vectors.
|
non-animal and animal
|
|
Disease from an animal vector
|
Malaria & rabies
|
|
Etiology from the respiratory system
|
TB
|
|
What's in feces
|
E Coli
|
|
Enteric refers to
|
the GI tract
|
|
Understanding the _____ events for any organism is necessary so that prevention methods can be devised.
|
transmission
|
|
When viruses & bacteria enter blood
What's our body's response? |
viremia
bacteremia inflammation (acute & chronic) |
|
Natural History of Infections
|
Enter through a barrier
Multiply Spread locally Enter blood Disseminate EMS ED |
|
Outcomes of infectious diseases
|
Recovery
Complications Death |
|
_____ cancers are caused by viruses
|
cervical
|
|
S/S of microorganism etiologies
|
all of those of acute and/or chronic inflammation...white blood count included
|
|
Infectious Diseases cause cell/tissue damage by
_____-like a virus which gets in the cell and it just bursts _____-by toxins produced by microorganism (food poisoning) Trigger host response (_____) |
Direct injury of cells (viruses get in cells and they burst)
Indirect by toxins produced by microorganism Trigger Host Response (Inflammation ) |
|
Fungi usually live in
|
yeasts and molds
|
|
Superficial vs. Deep fungi
|
Superficial involve low morbility/sickness. Deep (lungs, heart, kidney) are the opposite and can result in death
|
|
Pathogenesis for Fungi
|
Inflammation (+/- granulomas)
|
|
Body's response to viral infections
Named viral infections |
Chronic Inflammation (humoral/cellular)
viral_____itis |
|
Fungal infections are seen especially in people who are _____ like _____, _____, and _____.
|
Immunocompromised
transplants AIDS chemotherapy |
|
Staphylococcus, Streptococcus are bacteria found on our _____ and _____. They're a problem when they get inside our body.
|
skin & oral cavity
|
|
Bacteria in our GI tract
|
E Coli
|
|
Antibiotic:
Difference between Broad spectrum and Specific/Selective |
A drug may be effective against many different bacteria vs only 1 or a few types of bacteria.
|
|
Antibiotic:
Difference between B. Bactericidal vs Bacteriostatic |
A drug may kill bacteria vs a drug may just limit the growth and proliferation of bacteria
|
|
Basic Mechanism of Antibacteria Drug Action
Inhibition of _____, _____, or _____. |
cell wall synthesis & function...Bactericidal (Penicillin)
protein synthesis...Bacteriostatic (Erythromycin) DNA/RNA function...Bactericidal and Bacteriostatic |
|
A given bacteria may develop either _____or _____ resistance
|
Single Multidrug
|
|
Why do we get vaccinations?
|
So that our bodies create protective IgGs and chronic inflammation can occur quicker next time
|
|

secreted by the bacteria
cholera/diarrhea bacteria cell wall inflammatory signals |
|
Pathogenesis of Bacteria
|
A/C Inflammation (especially humoral)
|
|
Bacteria evolve and become resistant by
|
Destroying the antibiotic
Modifying the site where the antibiotic binds to it Developing ways to keep the drug out of the interior |
|
What's the big problem we're concerned with
|

|
lifecycle
kill |
|
Important Steps in Viral Infection:
1. adsorption of virus onto host cell/_____ on the host cell. That might be the step that the antivirals choose to inhibit. 2. Penetration and _____ of the virus in the host cell. It sheds it outer layer so the raw DNA is available. 3. _____ of Viral particles in the host cell so that it can replicate. 4. Maturation and _____ of new viruses |
BINDING
uncoating Synthesis release |
|
Basic Mechanisms of Antiviral Drug Action
1. Block 1 or more of the steps of viral infection 2. These steps are _____ for each virus…so the drugs are specific for a virus. It’s going to be different for a liver cell or for a respiratory virus. For uncoating, the enzymes are going to vary from virus to virus. There’s so much individuality. Drugs have to be specific to a specific virus. 3. These generally have to be _____ as soon as the viral infection begins. Otherwise, you have too many baby virus cells out there. |
specific
started |
|
