Is a multiplication of organism in the tissue of a host?
Infection is the invasion of a host organism’s bodily tissues by disease-causing organisms, their multiplication, and the host’s reaction to these organisms and the toxins they produce. Infections are caused by pathogens such as viruses, prions, bacteria, and viroids, and larger organisms like macroparasites and fungi.
When a pathogen invades the body multiplies and causes tissue damage this is referred to as?
Your immune system is a complex network of cells, tissues, and organs. Together they help the body fight infections and other diseases. When germs such as bacteria or viruses invade your body, they attack and multiply. This is called an infection.
Which type of infection involves microorganisms that are multiplying in the blood and present in large numbers?
The term toxemia describes the condition when toxins are found in the blood. If bacteria are both present and multiplying in the blood, this condition is called septicemia.
What is the term used to describe the physical removal of organic matter such as blood tissue and debris?
the physical removal of foreign material (e.g., dust, soil) and organic material (e.g., blood, secretions, excretions, microorganisms). Cleaning physically removes rather than kills microorganisms.
What is local pathogen multiplication?
Pathogens enter the body through portals of entry and leave through portals of exit. The stages of pathogenesis include exposure, adhesion, invasion, infection, and transmission.
What is the process of bacteria multiplying called?
Bacterial growth is proliferation of bacterium into two daughter cells, in a process called binary fission.
Is the term used to refer to the intentional or threatened use of microorganisms or toxins from living organisms to cause disease or death in humans?
Bioterrorism is defined by the intentional or threatened of microorganisms or toxins derived from living organisms to cause death or diseases in humans, animals or plants on which we depend.
What will happen if there will be invasion and multiplication of microorganisms that are pathogens?
A pathogen is a micro-organism that has the potential to cause disease. An infection is the invasion and multiplication of pathogenic microbes in an individual or population. Disease is when the infection causes damage to the individual’s vital functions or systems. An infection does not always result in disease!
What is meant by the term pathogens?
A pathogen is usually defined as a microorganism that causes, or can cause, disease. We have defined a pathogen as a microbe that can cause damage in a host.
What term is used to describe practice that help to keep an object or area clean and free from infection?
Aseptic technique – practices designed to render and maintain objects and areas free from microorganisms. Also called ‘sterile technique’. Clean technique – refers to practices that reduce the number of microorganisms and minimizes the risk of transmission from personnel or environment to the patient.
What is the use of physical or chemical means to remove?
According to OSHA, “the use of physical or chemical means to remove, inactivate, or destroy bloodborne pathogens on a surface or item to the point where they are no longer capable of transmitting infectious particles and the surface or item is rendered safe for handling, use, or disposal” [29 CFR 1910.1030].
What is Virema?
Viremia is a medical term for viruses present in the bloodstream. A virus is a tiny, microscopic organism made of genetic material inside a protein coating. Viruses depend on a living host, like a human or animal, for survival. They survive by invading cells and using those cells to multiply and produce other viruses.
