Diseases can be caused by microorganisms and pathogens like bacteria, viruses, fungi and protists. Infectious diseases can be passed from organism to organism and are caused by pathogens, while non-infectious diseases cannot be transmitted. The immune system fights pathogens by distinguishing their type and reacting accordingly. When a pathogen enters the body, it can damage cells or entire body systems. Common infectious diseases include colds caused by respiratory viruses, flu caused by influenza virus, strep throat from bacteria, athlete's foot from fungi, and AIDS caused by the HIV virus.

Infection ppt deepa babin
Infection occurs when a microbe lodges and multiplies in the tissues of a host. Ranges of relationships between microbes and hosts include saprophytes, parasites, and commensals. Several factors predispose to microbial pathogenicity, including adhesion, invasiveness, and toxigenicity. Infections can be classified as acute or chronic, primary or secondary, localized or systemic, and clinical or subclinical. Six links must be present for an infection to spread: a portal of entry, a susceptible host, a causative agent, a reservoir, a portal of exit, and a mode of transmission. Microbes can be transmitted through various methods including direct or indirect contact, inhalation, ingestion
Chain of Infection
This document discusses the chain of infection, which consists of six links: an infectious agent, a reservoir, a mode of transmission, a portal of exit from the reservoir, a portal of entry into a susceptible host, and the susceptible host. It provides examples for each link, including human and animal reservoirs, different modes of transmission like direct contact or vectors, and portals of exit and entry like the respiratory tract. All six links must be connected for an infection to occur, as a break in any single link can prevent transmission.
Bacterial Pathogenesis
This document provides an overview of bacterial pathogenesis. It discusses Koch's postulates, virulence factors, types of infections, mechanisms of pathogenesis including transmission, adherence, invasion, inflammation and toxin production. Key points covered include the definition of a pathogen and virulence, examples of virulence factors for common bacteria, how bacteria adhere and invade host tissues, and the role of exotoxins and endotoxins in disease.
Types of infection
There are several types of infections described in the document. A localized infection occurs when bacteria invade a specific point in the body and remain there until eliminated. A disseminated infection occurs when microorganisms spread from the initial site of infection to other tissues throughout the body. A polymicrobial infection involves more than one pathogenic microorganism. A primary infection is the original outbreak of an illness against which the body has not yet developed antibodies. A secondary infection occurs when a primary infection makes a person susceptible to another disease. Infections can also be classified based on their duration as either long-term, lasting weeks or months, or short-term, lasting several days. Healthcare-associated infections are acquired in a medical facility. Z
Source and transmission of infection
This document discusses the sources and transmission of infection. It describes endogenous sources as those originating from within one's own body, like staphylococci and streptococci normally found on the skin. Exogenous sources come from outside the body, including other humans who are infected, asymptomatic carriers, or symptomless carriers. Animals, the environment, food, water, soil, air, dust and fomites can also be sources. Transmission occurs via contact, vehicles like food/water, airborne droplets, vectors like mosquitoes, sexual contact, and the fecal-oral route.

Chain of infection
This document discusses the chain of infection and its six links: agent, reservoir, exit portal, means of transmission, entry portal, and susceptible host. It provides examples for each link and explains how interrupting any single link can prevent disease transmission. The six links are agent (pathogen), reservoir (where the agent lives), exit portal (how it leaves the host), means of transmission, entry portal, and susceptible host. Each link must be connected for transmission to occur.
Chain of Infection
This document discusses the chain of infection and how diseases spread. It explains that for a disease to be transmitted, all six links in the chain of infection must be connected: a pathogen, a reservoir where it lives and grows, a means of exiting the reservoir, a mode of transmission to a new host, a way to enter the new host, and a susceptible host. The chain can be broken by killing the pathogen, preventing contact with the infected reservoir, preventing the pathogen's escape from the reservoir, blocking transmission between hosts, blocking the ports of entry into a new host, or strengthening a potential host's resistance.

11_EstablishmentofDiseaseandreplicationanddamagebymicrobes.pptx
This document discusses host-microbe relationships and microbial pathogenesis. It begins by defining key terms like pathogenicity, virulence, and toxigenicity. It then describes how most microbes do not cause harm, while a few contribute to health or pose threats. Pathogens can establish infections through various mechanisms like toxin production, tissue invasion, or evading host defenses. Toxins are categorized as exotoxins, endotoxins, or exoenzymes. Exotoxins like AB toxins directly damage tissues. Colonization, invasion, and evasion of host defenses allow pathogens to replicate and spread infection. Microbes cause disease through direct damage by toxins or indirect activation of the host immune response.
Infection ppt
Microorganisms can cause disease when they enter the body and find a favorable environment. An infection occurs through a chain of events - a pathogen must have a reservoir, exit the reservoir, be transmitted to a new host, enter through a portal, and find a susceptible host. Breaking any link in the chain can prevent transmission and infection. Common ways to do this include proper hygiene, sterilization, use of antiseptics, vaccination, and strengthening a host's defenses.
Immunity
A British woman visiting India was bitten by a dog but did not seek medical treatment. Seven weeks later back in Britain, she fell ill and doctors could not diagnose her mild symptoms.

- 1. DISEASE CAUSED BY MICROORGANISMS IN HUMANS
- 2. DISEASE •DOES NOT ALLOW THE BODY TO FUNCTION NORMALLY •CAN AFFECT INDIVIDUAL ORGANS OR AN ENTIRE BODY SYSTEM •DIVIDED INTO TWO GROUPS –INFECTIOUS AND NON-INFECTIOUS
- 3. INFECTIOUS DISEASE •A DISEASE THAT CAN BE PASSED FROM ORGANISM TO ORGANISM •CAUSED BY TINY ORGANISMS CALLED PATHOGENS
- 4. 4 KINDS OF PATHOGENS •BACTERIA •VIRUSES •FUNGI •PROTIST
- 5. PATHOGENS CAN COME FROM •ANOTHER PERSON
- 7. •ANIMAL BITE
- 8. •ENVIRONMENT
- 9. IMMUNE SYSTEM RESPONSIBLE FOR •DISTINGUISHING (TELLING THE DIFFERENCE) BETWEEN THE DIFFERENT KINDS OF PATHOGENS •REACTING TO EACH KIND ACCORDING TO ITS TYPE
- 10. WHEN A PATHOGEN ENTERS THE BODY •IT WORKS BY DAMAGING INDIVIDUAL CELLS WITHIN THE ORGANS •IN SOME CASES IT ATTACKS AN ENTIRE BODY SYSTEM
- 11. SOME INFECTIOUS DISEASES YOU SHOULD KNOW •COLDS •FLU •STREP THROAT •ATHLETE’S FOOT •AIDS
- 12. COLD •ILLNESS CAUSED BY A VIRAL INFECTION LOCATED IN THE RESPIRATORY SYSTEM •THE COLD VIRUS MULTIPLIES AND ATTACKS THE MUCOUS MEMBRANES OF THE NOSE AND THROAT CAUSING THE COMMON EFFECTS OF THE COLD (SORE THROAT, RUNNY NOSE, FEVER…) •COLD CAN NOT BE TREATED WITH AN ANTIBIOTIC BECAUSE IT IS CAUSED BY A VIRUS
