Bacteria
Beyond the Book
Bacteria are among the earliest forms of
life that appeared on Earth billions of
years ago.
Scientists think bacteria helped
shape and change Earth’s
environment.
The atmospheric oxygen created by the
bacteria enabled other, more complex life SFC
forms to develop.

Growth of Bacteria
Growth Cycle
Active Stage
Inactive Stage
•
•
Reproduce and
grow rapidly
• Require dark, damp,
• Form spores not harmed
dirty places with food
•
Divide into two new
cells (mitosis)
No growth occurs when
conditions are unfavorable
by disinfectants, cold
or heat
•
Become active when
conditions are favorable

Growth of Bacteria
Movement of Bacteria
Bacilli and spirilla use flagella
(cilia) to propel themselves
Chapter 2.1
Salon Ecology
Microbiology
Growth of Bacteria
Beyond the Book
Some bacteria with flagella can move 5060 times the length of their body per
second.
If a 6 foot tall person could move that fast,
they would be running about 100 meters
per second.
That is 9 times faster than the world record!
SFC
Viruses
•
Sub-microscopic particles; much smaller
than bacteria
•
Cause familiar diseases like the common
cold, measles, hepatitis, HIV
Chapter 2.1

Viruses
Human Hepatitis B (HBV)
•

Vaccine-preventable disease

Viruses
Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS)

Viruses
Beyond the Book
Chickenpox is a disease caused by the
varicella zoster virus.
Since the introduction of the chickenpox
vaccine, cases of chickenpox in children
have decreased almost 70-90%.
SFC
External Parasites
Organisms that live on or obtain nutrients
from another organism
• Parasitic fungi (molds and yeasts)
– Produce contagious diseases such as
ringworm, honeycomb ringworm and
nail fungus
– Produce noncontagious conditions such as
dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis
• Parasitic mites (insects)
– Produce contagious diseases such as itch
mites and head lice
Chapter 2.1

Microbiology
External Parasites
Professionals prevent the
spread of contagions
(fungi, bacteria and mites)
through proper
disinfection procedures
Chapter 2.1

Microbiology
External Parasites
Head Lice
• Transmitted directly from one person to
another or by contact with articles
that have come in contact with an
infested person
•
Accompanied by head scratching,
redness or small bite marks on the scalp
•
Controlled by pediculicide shampoo

SFC
Infection
Occurs when disease-producing (pathogenic) bacteria or
viruses enter the body and multiply to the point of
interfering with the body’s normal state.
• Contagious or communicable disease
– Can be transmitted from person to person
through touch or through the air

Bloodborne pathogens are disease-causing
bacteria or viruses that are carried through

Yo-yo diets resulting in drastic weight changes
can weaken your immune system.
Depending on the statistics, up to 85% of
individuals who lose a significant amount of

Infection Control
Sanitation
First level of infection control
• Removes dirt to aid in preventing growth
of microbes

but does not kill germs
Antiseptic
• Product that can be applied to

Sanitation
Hand Washing
1. Moisten hands with warm water and
antimicrobial liquid soap
2. Spend 15-20 seconds working up a good lather;
pay attention to fingers and fingernails
3. Rinse hands in warm water; position hands
downward so rinse progresses from
wrist to fingertips
4. Dry hands well; use single-use paper towels or
hands-free blow dryers

Germs only cause disease, right? But a
common bacterium, E. coli, found in the
intestine helps us digest green vegetables

These same bacteria also make Vitamin K,
which causes blood to clot. If we didn’t have
these germs we could bleed to death from a
small cut.
