|
Benefit to microbe, neither benefits or harms host. ie. on skin |
|
4 steps microbes cause disease
|
1. establish infection 2. breach anatomical barriers 3. avoid host defenses 4. damage to host |
|
Opportunist |
does not normally cause disease, but can if circumstances are right
|
|
Communicable |
spread host to host
|
|
Incubation period |
Time between acquisition of disease and appearance of symptoms
|
|
Acute |
Rapid onset, short length Problem: no chance for immune system to mobilize |
|
Chronic |
Slow onset, long lasting Problem: wears out immune system over time |
|
Latent |
Disease has periods of inactivity, but symptoms can reoccur

5 major modes of antibacterial action
|
1. inhibit cell wall synthesis 2. inhibit protein synthesis 3. inhibit nucleic acid synthesis 4. inhibit metabolic pathways. 5. disrupt cell membrane integrity. |
|
Inhibition of cell wall synthesis
|
Target peptidoglycan production. ie. -cillins unique to bacteria |
|
