CAUSES AND SPREAD OF INFECTION Outcome one:- The differences between bacteria, virus, fungus and parasites. Bacteria :- they are small single-celled life forms that reproduce quickly and are capable of causing disease. Antibiotics can be used to treat infections caused by bacteria although some can form a protective spore which can make them more resistant to heat and chemicals. The requirements for optimum growth are is a temperature of 37c, water, food, time, oxygen/ no oxygen. Virus:-These
Causes and spread of infection * The differences between bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites BACTERIA - A group of one-celled organism without a nucleus that reproduces by cell division. Their shapes vary, and doctors use these characteristics to separate them into groups. Bacteria exist everywhere, inside and on our bodies. Most of them are completely harmless and some of them are very useful. But some bacteria can cause diseases, either because they end up in the wrong place in the
NVQ Diploma Unit 10 Causes and Spread of Infection Introduction Health care associated infection (HCAI) affects over 33,000 patients every year. This competency document has been developed to help you develop best practice in infection prevention and control whether you are a new member of staff to the organisation having completed induction training, or an established employee wishing to consolidate or update their skills and knowledge. The work based programme is designed to enable
Causes and Spread of Infection The differences between Bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites are Bacteria are found everywhere ie, air, water, soil, animals, people and food. It is a single cell micro-organism that retrieves its nutrition from the environment. Bacteria can only be seen through a microscope. They are shaped like short rods, spheres or spirals. It is stated on www.biologyinfo.com that, “Not all bacteria are harmful. In fact, less than 1 percent cause disease, and some bacteria that
Understanding the causes and spread of infection The differences are that bacteria are an organism which produces toxins which grow and then divide. Virus - are smaller than a cell. It can't reproduce outside the cell unlike bacteria, so they invade the cells and inject the genes into the nucleus and creates copies of itself Fungi - causes disease by absorbing nutrients, and producing toxins Bacteria, fungi and viruses are all separate entities and are completely different from
Causes and spread of infection Understand the causes of infection Outcome 1 Identify the differences between bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites All 4 are different types of pathogens Bacteria is a single celled organism that multiply by themselves. They live within and on most living and non-living things. The majority of bacteria are harmless and beneficial to the human body but some can cause infectious diseases. A bacterium usually affects one part of the body and doesn’t
Understanding the Causes of Infection 1.1 Identify the differences between bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites. Bacteria are a living cell organism that can survive inside our body and other non living objects as well. There are both good and bad bacteria’s and the good bacteria is known to helps fight against the bad bacteria that makes its way into our bodies. According to www.righthealth.com, less than 1% of bacteria are actually harmful to us. In fact, we couldn’t survive without
CU254 Causes and Spread of Infection Understand the causes of infection 1.1 Bacteria are living things that are neither plants nor animals, but belong to a group all by themselves. They are very small—individually not more than one single cell however there are normally millions of them together, for they can multiply really fast. Bacteria are prokaryotes (single cells that do not contain a nucleus). Every species has a great ability to produce offspring and its population expands until it runs
