microorganisms
![Page 6: We are Not Alone Ms. Potter’s Principle of Health Science](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5681642c550346895dd5f116/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
What are microorganisms?
(also called microbes)
![Page 7: We are Not Alone Ms. Potter’s Principle of Health Science](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5681642c550346895dd5f116/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Microbes are small living plants or animals most of which are not visible to the naked eye.
Some microbes cause disease or infection.
Many microbes are “good” organisms that help keep balance in the environment and the body.
![Page 8: We are Not Alone Ms. Potter’s Principle of Health Science](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5681642c550346895dd5f116/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
What microbes lack in size, they make up in
number.
On the average human, there are about 100 trillion microbes.
![Page 9: We are Not Alone Ms. Potter’s Principle of Health Science](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5681642c550346895dd5f116/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Good vs. Bad Microorganisms:
Microorganisms that cause disease (germs) are referred to as pathogens.
Yeah, I’m bad.
![Page 10: We are Not Alone Ms. Potter’s Principle of Health Science](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5681642c550346895dd5f116/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Microorganisms that are harmless or beneficial are
called nonpathogens.
![Page 11: We are Not Alone Ms. Potter’s Principle of Health Science](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5681642c550346895dd5f116/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Most microbes are considered beneficial or harmless.
87%
beneficial organisms
10%
opportunistsPathogens 3%

The role of good microorganisms
Marine & freshwater microbes form the basis of the food chain
in oceans, lakes, and rivers.
![Page 13: We are Not Alone Ms. Potter’s Principle of Health Science](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5681642c550346895dd5f116/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Soil microbes help break down
wastes.

Humans and other animals depend on
bacteria in their intestines for digestion and
synthesis of vitamins including:
vitamin B (for metabolism) vitamin K (for blood clotting)
![Page 15: We are Not Alone Ms. Potter’s Principle of Health Science](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5681642c550346895dd5f116/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Microorganisms have many commercial applicationsThey are used in synthesis of chemical
products such as:
acetoneenzymes
alcohol
organic acids
many drugs
![Page 16: We are Not Alone Ms. Potter’s Principle of Health Science](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5681642c550346895dd5f116/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Microorganisms
Aerobic organisms:Anaerobic organisms:Most microorganisms prefer warm, dark environments
![Page 18: We are Not Alone Ms. Potter’s Principle of Health Science](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5681642c550346895dd5f116/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Main Classes of Pathogenic Organisms:
1)Bacteria • simple one-celled organisms• At home within “climate” of human
body• compose largest group of pathogens
2)Fungi: yeasts & molds • Plant-like organisms that live on
dead organic matter• Grow best in dark, damp places
![Page 19: We are Not Alone Ms. Potter’s Principle of Health Science](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5681642c550346895dd5f116/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
3) Viruses - smallest microbes• acellular particles (not a complete cell)
4) Protozoa• one-celled animals often found in decayed materials & contaminated water5) Helminths• parasitic worms • caused by larval & egg infestations

Three Major viruses that are of concern to healthcare workers are:
1. Hepatitis B2. Hepatitis C3. AIDS
![Page 66: We are Not Alone Ms. Potter’s Principle of Health Science](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5681642c550346895dd5f116/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
Hepatitis C
virus that is spread through blood, serum and other body secretions. It affects the liver.
![Page 67: We are Not Alone Ms. Potter’s Principle of Health Science](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5681642c550346895dd5f116/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
Hepatitis B
virus that is spread through blood. It affects the liver and can lead to destruction of the liver and eventually death. There is a 3 series vaccination that can help protect for getting the virus.
![Page 68: We are Not Alone Ms. Potter’s Principle of Health Science](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5681642c550346895dd5f116/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
AIDS
a virus that suppresses the immune system. People with AIDS cannot fight off infection that would not affect a healthy person. It is transmitted through blood and body secretions.
![Page 69: We are Not Alone Ms. Potter’s Principle of Health Science](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5681642c550346895dd5f116/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)
Protect Your Self!!!!!! It is very important as a
health care worker to take every precaution against contracted these viruses. Good hand washing, always wear gloves and other protective equipment, and use caution when drawing blood or giving injections, are just a few safety precautions
![Page 70: We are Not Alone Ms. Potter’s Principle of Health Science](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5681642c550346895dd5f116/html5/thumbnails/70.jpg)
Summary•Microbes are microscopic organisms
•About 100 trillion microbes live on the average human
• “Bad” microbes are pathogens•About 3% of microorganisms are pathogenic
•Main classes of pathogenic microbes include: bacteria, fungi, viruses, protoza, & helminths
![Page 71: We are Not Alone Ms. Potter’s Principle of Health Science](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5681642c550346895dd5f116/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)
In order for disease to occur and spread from one person to another, certain conditions must be met, first there must be
Causative agent: pathogen such as a bacteria or virus
Reservoir: place for the causative agent (virus) to live. Such as the human body
Fomites: objects that are contaminated with infectious material that contains pathogens (Examples: door knobs, bed pans, linens and specimen containers)
![Page 72: We are Not Alone Ms. Potter’s Principle of Health Science](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5681642c550346895dd5f116/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)
Portal of Endogenous
means the infection or the disease originates within the body (Examples: tumors, metabolic disorders, and congenital abnormalities
![Page 73: We are Not Alone Ms. Potter’s Principle of Health Science](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5681642c550346895dd5f116/html5/thumbnails/73.jpg)
Exogenous
means the infection or disease originated from outside the body (Examples: radiation, chemical agents, trauma, and temperature extremes
![Page 74: We are Not Alone Ms. Potter’s Principle of Health Science](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5681642c550346895dd5f116/html5/thumbnails/74.jpg)
Nosocomial: Infection that is acquired
by an individual in a health care facility such as a hospital or nursing facility. These infections are usually passed to the patient by the health care worker (Examples: staph infection, and pseudomonas)
