INFECTION AND HOST RESISTANCE

Group 3 Antiquea Archide Aposaga Auro Bontogon

Infection
Entry and multiplication of a pathogen on or within the body Infectious disease-any disease caused by a microorganism that follows colonization of the body by that microorganism

symptoms
Swelling (edema) Redness Heat Pain

Production of antibodies

Periods or phases in the development of an infectious disease or infection

Incubation period

Transmission of infection
Salmonella and Campylobacter
can be transmitted in food products to humans

 Yersinia pestis (plague)

Well established in rodents, rodent fleas, and transmission by the fleas to human are inadvertent

 Bacillus anthracis (anthrax)

Lives in the environment, occasionally infects animals, but can be transmitted to humans by products such as raw hair or drinking contaminated milk from infected animals

 Clostridium
Ubiquitoes in the environment and are transmitted to humans by ingestion Ex. Clostridium perfringes (gastroentiritis) and Clostridium butolinum (butolism) ; when wounds are contaminated by soil Ex. Clostridium perfringes (gas gangrenes) and Clostridium tetani, (tetanus)

 Vibrio cholerae
Cause voluminous diarrhea which may contaminate salt and fresh water

 Myobacterium tuberculosis
Produces respiratory disease with cough and production of aerosols

Bacteria transmitted from person to person

Staphylococcus aureus

HOST RESPONSE TO INFECTION

A. Nonspecific host mechanism B. Specific host mechanism

Nonspecific host mechanism

Host defense mechanism directed against all types of invading pathogens and other foreign substances

Innate or Inborn

3 lines of defense
First line defense Second line defense Third line defense
