Host microbe relationship

Terms to remember 



Host- any organism that harbors another organism Symbiosis- association between two or more species ( living together )   

Mutualism Commensalism Parasitism







Contamination- presence of microorganism Infection- refers to the multiplication of any parasitic organism within or on the host’s body. Infestation- refers to the presence of larger parasites in the body such as worms and arthropods







Disease- disturbance in the state of health wherein the body cannot carry out its normal function. Pathogenicity- capacity to produce disease Virulence- intensity of the disease produced by pathogen

Factor affecting virulence factors 

Animal passage- rapid transfer of pathogen through animals of a species susceptible to infection by that pathogen

Virulence can be decreased by 



Attenuation- weakening of the disease producing ability of the organism, can be achieved by repeated subculturing on laboratory media Transposal of virulence- pathogen is passed from its normal host to a new host species and then passed sequentially through many individual of the new host species.

Normal flora ( microflora ) 



Resident microflora- microbes that are always present on or in the human body Transient microflora- organism that can be present under certain condition in or any location where resident microflora are found



Opprtunist- takes advantage of particular opportunities to cause disease that includes: 





Failure of the host’s normal defense, AKA immunocompremised Introduction of the organism into unusually body site Disturbances in the normal microflora, or competition against another pathogen known as microbial antagonist.

Kinds of disease





Infectious disease- caused by infectious agent Non infectious disease- caused by any factor other than infectious disease

Classification of disease 



Inherited disease- caused by errors in genetic information, abnormalities in the distribution and number of chromosomes. Ex. Sickle cell anemia Congenital disease- structural and functional defects present at birth caused by drugs, xray or certain infections ex. Effect of German measles





Degenerative disease- disorders that develops in one or more body system as aging occurs ex. Emphysema leads to bacterial infection Nutritional deficiency disease- lower resistance to infectious disease and contribute to the severity of infections ex. Corynebacterium diptheriae





Endocrine diseases- due to excessive or deficiency in hormones ex. Viral infection linked to pancreatic damage that leads to IDDM Mental disease- caused by emotional, or psychogenic in nature or certain infections





Immunological disease- allergies, autoimmune disease and immunodeficiencies that is caused by malfunction of the immune system ex. AIDS. Neoplastic diseases- abnormal cell growth that leads to the formation of various types of generally harmless or cancerous growths or tumor. Ex. Papilloma virus





Iatrogenic disease- caused by medical procedure or treatment ex. Surgical error, drug reaction, and infections acquired from hospital treatment. Idiopathic disease- diseases whose cause is unknown.

Communicable/non Communicable disease

 

Communicable- contagious disease Non communicable- not spread from one host to the other. May result from  



Individual’s normal microflora Poisoning following ingestion of preformed toxin Infections caused by certain organism

Actions of bacteria 





Adherence- adhesins are protein or glycoprotein found on pili Colonization- growth of microorganism on epithelial surface such as skin or mucous surface Invasiveness- ability to invade and grow on host tissues

Virulence factor







Hyaluronidase- spreading factor, dissolves hyaluronic acid that holds cells and certain tissue together allowing bacteria to pass between cells. Coagulase- enzyme that accelerate the clotting of blood, keeps organism from spreading and wall off immune system Streptokinase- dissolves the clot to free themselves to spread from other tissue

Bacterial toxin 





Exotoxin- soluble substances secrete into host tissue Endotoxin- part of the cell wall and are released into the host tissue Hemolysins- lyze or rupture red blood cell   

Alpha Beta gamma

 





Leukocidin- exotoxin that destroys WBC Leukostatin- interferes with the ability of the WBC to engulf microorganism Neurotoxin- botulism and tetanus are exotoxin that acts on the nervous system to prevent muscle contraction. Enterotoxin- acts on tissue on GUT

Signs, Symptoms, and Syndrome







Sign- characteristic observed from the patient ex.swelling, redness, rashes, cough, pus formation, runny nose, fever Symptoms- characteristics observed or felt by the patient ex pain, shortness of breath, nausea sore throat Syndrome- combination of sign and syndrome



  



Sequelae- after effect of bacteria after recovery Acute- develops rapidly Chronic- develops slowly Subacute- intermediate between acute and chronic Latent infection- periods of inactivity either before signs and symptoms









Local infection- confined to a specific area of the body Focal infection- confined to a specific area but their toxin spreads to other area Systemic infection- affects most of the body Septicemia- blood poisoning, bacteria and multiplying









Bacteremia- presence of bacteria but not multiplying Viremia- presence of virus but not multiplying Primary infection- initial infection in a previously healthy person Secondary infection- follows primary infection







Superinfection- secondary infection that results from the destruction of normal microflora and often follows the use of broad spectrum antibiotics Mixed infection- caused by several species or organism Inapparent/subclinical infection- one that fails to produce the full range of signs and symptoms either because of few organism or host defenses are working effectively

Stages of infectious disease





Incubation period- time between infection and the appearance of signs and symptoms Prodomal phase- short period during which nonspecific, often mild, symptoms as malaise and headache appear



Invasive stage- period during which the individual experiences the typical signs and symptoms of the disease 



Acme- signs and symptoms reach their greatest intensity Fulminating- sudden and severe





Decline phase- the symptoms begins to subside Convalescence period- tissue is repaired, healing takes place, body regains strength

Control of Infectious Disease 

Drugs



Immunization



Sanitization



Future Challenges
