This document discusses the pathogenesis of bacterial infection. It defines key terms like pathogen, virulence, and toxigenicity. It describes how bacteria can cause disease by adhering to and invading host cells, producing toxins, and evading the immune system. It also discusses Koch's postulates for determining the cause of a specific disease. Overall, the document provides an overview of the mechanisms by which bacteria can cause infection and disease in the host.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
How to Make a Field invisible in Odoo 17Celine George
It is possible to hide or invisible some fields in odoo. Commonly using “invisible” attribute in the field definition to invisible the fields. This slide will show how to make a field invisible in odoo 17.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2. BASIC TERMS FREQUENTLY USED IN
DESCRIBING ASPECTS OF PATHOGENESIS:•PATHOGEN:
•A MICROORGANISM CAPABLE OF CAUSING DISEASE.
•NON-PATHOGEN:
•A MICROORGANISM THAT DOES NOT CAUSE DISEASE. IT MAY BE PART OF THE NORMAL
FLORA.
•OPPORTUNISTIC PATHOGEN:
•AN AGENT CAPABLE OF CAUSING DISEASE ONLY WHEN THE HOST´S RESISTANCE IS
IMPAIRED (E.G. THE PATIENT IS IMMUNOCOMPROMISED).
•AN AGENT CAPABLE OF CAUSING DISEASE ONLY WHEN SPREAD FROM THE SITE WITH
NORMAL BACTERIAL MICROFLORA TO THE STERILE TISSUE OR ORGAN.
3. •PATHOGENICITY:
•THE ABILITY OF AN INFECTIOUS AGENT TO CAUSE DISEASE.
•VIRULENCE:
•THE QUANTITATIVE ABILITY OF AN AGENT TO CAUSE DISEASE.
•VIRULENT AGENTS CAUSE DISEASE WHEN INTRODUCED INTO THE HOST
IN SMALL NUMBERS.
•VIRULENCE INVOLVES INVASIVENESS AND TOXIGENICITY.
4. •TOXIGENICITY:
•THE ABILITY OF A MICROORGANISM TO PRODUCE A
TOXIN THAT CONTRIBUTES TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF
DISEASE.
•INVASION:
•THE PROCESS WHEREBY BACTERIA, PARASITES, FUNGI
AND VIRUSES ENTER THE HOST CELLS OR TISSUES
AND SPREAD IN THE BODY.
5. •THE PATHOGENESIS OF BACTERIAL INFECTION INCLUDES THE INITIATION
OF THE INFECTIOUS PROCESS AND THE MECHANISMS LEADING TO THE
DEVELOPMENT OF SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF BACTERIAL DISEASE.
•THE OUTCOME OF THE INTERACTION BETWEEN BACTERIA AND HOST IS
DETERMINED BY CHARACTERISTICS THAT FAVOUR ESTABLISHMENT OF
THE BACTERIA WITHIN THE HOST AND THEIR ABILITY TO DAMAGE THE
HOST AS THEY ARE OPPOSED BY HOST DEFENSE MECHANISMS.
INTRODUCTION
6. •AMONG THE CHARACTERICS OF BACTERIA ARE
ADHERENCE TO HOST CELLS, INVASIVENESS,
TOXIGENITY, AND ABILITY TO EVADE THE
HOST´S IMMUNE SYSTEM.
•IF THE BACTERIA OR IMMUNOLOGICAL
REACTIONS INJURE THE HOST SUFFICIENTLY,
DISEASE BECOMES APPARENT.
7. •HUMANS AND ANIMALS HAVE ABUNDANT NORMAL MICROFLORA.
•MOST BACTERIA DO NOT PRODUCE DISEASE BUT ACHIEVE A
BALANCE WITH THE HOST THAT ENSURES THE SURVIVAL,
GROWTH, AND PROPAGATION OF BOTH THE BACTERIA AND THE
HOST.
•SOMETIMES BACTERIA THAT ARE CLEARLY PATHOGENS (E.G.
SALMONELLA TYPHI) ARE PRESENT, BUT INFECTION REMAINS
LATENT OR SUBCLINICAL AND THE HOST IS A "CARRIER" OF THE
BACTERIA.
8. IT CAN BE DIFFICULT TO SHOW THAT A SPECIFIC
BACTERIAL SPECIES IS THE CAUSE OF A PARTICULAR
DISEASE.
IN 1884, ROBERT KOCH PROPOSED A SERIES OF
POSTULATES IN HIS TREATISE ON MYCOBACTERIUM
TUBERCULOSIS AND TUBERCULOSIS.
THESE POSTULATES HAVE BEEN APPLIED MORE
BROADLY TO LINK MANY SPECIFIC BACTERIAL
SPECIES WITH PARTICULAR DISEASES.
9. KOCH´S POSTULATES ARE SUMMARIZED AS
FOLLOWS:•THE MICROORGANISM SHOULD BE FOUND IN ALL CASES OF THE DISEASE IN QUESTION, AND ITS
DISTRIBUTION IN THE BODY SHOULD BE IN ACCORDANCCE WITH THE LESIONS OBSERVED.
•THE MICROORGANISM SHOULD BE GROWN IN PURE CULTURE IN VITRO (OR OUTSITE THE BODY
OF THE HOST) FOR SEVERAL GENERATIONS.
•WHEN SUCH A PURE CULTURE IS INOCULATED INTO SUSCEPTIBLE ANIMAL SPECIES, THE
TYPICAL DISEASE MUST RESULT.
•THE MICROORGANISM MUST AGAIN BE ISOLATED FROM THE LESIONS OF SUCH
EXPERIMENTALLY PRODUCED DISEASE.
10. IN ANOTHER EXAMPLE, NEISSERIA GONORRHOEAE
(GONORRHEA), THERE IS NO ANIMAL MODEL OF INFECTION
EVEN THOUGH THE BACTERIA CAN READILY BE CULTIVATED IN
VITRO.
THE HOST´S IMMUNE RESPONSES SHOULD BE CONSIDERED
WHEN AN ORGANISM IS BEING INVESTIGATED AS THE
POSSIBLE CAUSE OF A DISEASE.
THUS, DEVELOPMENT OF A RISE IN SPECIFIC ANTIBODY
DURING RECOVERY FROM DISEASE IS AN IMPORTANT
ADJUNCT TO KOCH´S POSTULATES.
11. MODERN-DAY MICROBIAL GENETICS HAS OPENED
NEW FRONTIERS TO STUDY PATHOGENIC
BACTERIAAND DIFFERENTIATE THEM FROM NON-
PATHOGENS.
THE ABILITY TO STUDY GENES ASSOCIATED WITH
VIRULENCE HAS LED TO A PROPOSED OF KOCH´S
POSTULATES:
•THE PHENOTYPE, OR PROPERTY, UNDER INVESTIGATION SHOULD
BE ASSOCIATED WITH PATHOGENIC MEMBERS OF A GENUS OR
PATHOGENIC STRAINS OF A SPECIES.
•SPECIFIC INACTIVATION OF THE GENE(S) ASSOCIATED WITH THE
SUSPECTED VIRULENCE TRAIT SHOULD LEAD TO A MEASURABLE
LOSS IN PATHOGENICITY OR VIRULENCE.
•REVERSION OR ALLELIC REPLACEMENT OF THE MUTATED GENE
SHOULD LEAD TO RESTORATION OF PATHOGENICITY.
12. • ANALYSIS OF INFECTION AND DISEASE THROUGH THE APPLICATION OF PRINCIPLES SUCH AS KOCH´S
POSTULATES LEADS TO CLASSIFICATION OF BACTERIA AS PATHOGENIC OR NON-PATHOGENIC.
• SOME BACTERIAL SPECIES ARE ALWAYS CONSIDERED TO BE PATHOGENS, AND THEIR PRESENCE IS
ABNORMAL.
• EXAMPLES INCLUDE MYCOBACTERIUM TUBERCULOSIS (TUBERCULOSIS) AND YERSINIA PESTIS (PLAGUE).
• OTHER SPECIES ARE COMMONLY PART OF THE NORMAL FLORA OF HUMANS (AND ANIMALS) BUT CAN ALSO
FREQUENTLY CAUSE DISEASE. FOR EXAMPLE, ESCHERICHIA COLI IS PART OF THE GASTROINTESTINAL FLORA OF
NORMAL HUMANS, BUT IT IS ALSO A COMON CAUSE OF URINARY TRACT INFECTION, TRAVELLER´S DIARRHEA,
AND OTHER DISEASES.
14. THE INFECTIOUS PROCESS
•INFECTION INDICATES MULTIPLICATION OF MICROORGANISMS.
•PRIOR TO MULTIPLICATION, BACTERIA (IN CASE OF BACTERIAL
INFECTION) MUST ENTER AND ESTABLISH THEMSELVES WITHIN THE HOST.
•THE MOST FREQUENT PORTALS OF ENTRY ARE THE RESPIRATORY (MOUTH
AND NOSE), GASTROINTESTINAL, AND UROGENITAL TRACTS. ABNORMAL
AREAS OF MUCOUS MEMBRANES AND SKIN (E.G. CUTS, BURNS) ARE ALSO
FREQUENT SITES OF ENTRY.
15. •ONCE IN THE BODY, BACTERIA MUST ATTACH OR ADHERE TO HOST
CELLS, USUALLY EPITHELIAL CELLS.
•AFTER THE BACTERIA HAVE ESTABLISHED A PRIMARY SITE OF
INFECTION, THEY MULTIPLY AND SPREAD.
•INFECTION CAN SPREAD DIRECTLY THROUGH TISSUES OR VIA THE
LYMPHATIC SYSTEM TO BLOODSTREAM. BLOODSTREAM INFECTION
(BACTEREMIA) CAN BE TRANSIENT OR PERSISTENT. BACTEREMIA
ALLOWS BACTERIA TO SPREAD WIDELY IN THE BODY AND PERMITS
THEM TO REACH TISSUES PARTICULARLY SUITABLE FOR THEIR
MULTIPLICATION.
16. • AS AN EXAMPLE OF THE INFECTIOUS PROCESS, STREPTOCOCCUS PNEUMONIAE CAN BE
CULTURED FROM THE NASOPHARYNX OF 5-40% OF HEALTHY PEOPLE.
• OCCASIONALLY, STREPTOCOCCUS PNEUMONIAE STRAINS FROM THE NASOPHARYNX ARE
ASPIRATED INTO THE LUNGS. INFECTION DEVELOPS IN THE TERMINAL AIR SPACE OF THE
LUNGS IN PERSONS WHO DO NOT HAVE PROTECTIVE ANTIBODIES AGAINST THAT TYPE OF
STREPTOCOCCUS PNEUMONIAE. MULTIPLICATION OF STREPTOCOCCUS PNEUMONIAE
STRAINS AND RESULTANT INFLAMMATION LEAD TO PNEUMONIA. THE STRAINS THEN
ENTER THE LYMPHATICS OF THE LUNG AND MOVE TO THE BLOODSTREAM. BETWEEN 10%
AND 20% OF PERSONS WITH STREPTOCOCCUS PNEUMONIAE PNEUMONIA HAVE
BACTEREMIA AT THE TIME THE DIAGNOSIS OF PNEUMONIA IS MADE. ONCE BACTEREMIA
OCCURS, STREPTOCOCCUS PNEUMONIAE STRAINS CAN SPREAD TO THEIR PREFERRED
SECONDARY SITES OF INFECTION (E.G. CEREBROSPINAL FLUID, HEART VALVES, JOINT
SPACES). THE MAJOR RESULTING COMPLICATIONS OF STREPTOCOCCUS PNEUMONIAE
PNEUMONIA INCLUDE MENINGITIS, ENDOCARDITIS AND SEPTIC ARTHRITIS.
