Bacterial Reproduction – Illness
Binary fission
Endospores – genetic material resistant to
dessication
Endotoxin – causes life-threatening shock
Bacteria are able to adapt and survive in a
number of different environments.

Virus
Core genetic material (RNA or DNA)
enclosed in a capsid
Does not independently grow, metabolize
or reproduce
Carries out life processes by entering cells
and directing energy, materials and
organelles or by causing cells to lyse
Responsible for acute, and latent
infections

Fungi
Multicelled organisms
Contain polysaccharide – Chitin
Reproductive structures – spores
Cause disease by interfering with normal
organ structure and function or by
inflammation or allergy

Helminths
Roundworms, flatworms
Well developed reproductive systems
Complex lifecycle
Infections are called infestations

Roundworms
Round in cross section
Include: filarial (infect lymphatics), large
(infect the intestines)
Examples: Ascaris, Enerobius

Flatworms
Flattened bodies examples: Schistosoma
Taenia
Cause disease by using host nutrients or
by feeding on host blood causing anemia
and severe inflammatory responses

Arthropod Vectors
Ticks, mites, lice, flies, mosquitoes, and
fleas
Transmit pathogenic microorganisms to
humans
Example: plasmodium
Animals act as reservoirs – source of the
pathogen; example: rabies

Epidemiology
and Transmission
Epidemiology – study of transmission,
occurrence, distribution, and control of
disease
Horizontal transmission – infected human
to susceptible human
Vertical transmission – infection from one
generation to the next

Distribution and Frequency
Incidence – number of new cases
Prevalence – number of existing cases
Endemic – exists in low levels
Pandemic – infection spreads to large
numbers
Outbreak – sudden occurrence in
unexpected numbers within a limited area

Treatment
Antibacterials
Antivirals
Antifungals
Supportive care for inflammation, pain,
and fever
Treatment must be targeted and
specific to avoid antimicrobial
resistance

Antibiotics – Mechanism of Action
Target bacterial cell wall
Target cell membrane
Inhibit protein synthesis targets in bacterial
machinery
Interfere with bacterial metabolism, DNA,
and RNA synthesis

Antivirals
Nucleic acid analogues mimic correct DNA
or RNA bases.
Interfere with assembly of new virus
particles within the cell or interfere with the
attachment of viruses to host cells
Reduces the number of viruses reproduced

Antifungals
Target cell walls and membranes
Affect human cells, therefore may be toxic

Antiprotozoals
Interfere with protein synthesis and
metabolism
Sensitive to medications that paralyze
protozoal muscles or interfere with
carbohydrate metabolism
Resistant microorganisms evolve,
rendering existing treatments useless

Vaccination
The presentation of antigens from a
microorganism to provoke an immune
response
Contain dead bacterial, extracted
antigens, inactivated toxins, viral particles,
or genetically engineered proteins
Have been used to eliminate disease

Emerging Infectious Disease
Tuberculosis
Antibiotic resistance
Changes in climate, urbanization,
crowding, increased incidence of chronic
disease, fast world travel, disruption of
social government structure
