What is infection презентация

the reaction of host-tissues to the infectious agents and the toxins they produce. Infectious disease, also known as transmissible disease or communicable disease, is illness resulting from an infection.
Hosts can fight infections using their immune system. Mammalian hosts react to infections with an innate response, often involving inflammation, followed by an adaptive response.

cause a specific infectious process under favorable conditions. On this basis, all states of microbes are subdivided into pathogenic, opportunistic and saprophytes. Pathogenicity and virulence are different concepts. A microorganism is considered virulent if it, when introduced into the animal's organism, even in small doses, causes the development of an infectious process.

this is an individual characteristic. Virulence is a quantity that is measured (e.g., minimum lethal dose DLM, median lethal dose LD50).

of plague causes plague, cholera - cholera, etc. Infections (for example, purulent-inflammatory processes) caused by various microbes are known. On the other hand, one causative agent (for example, streptococcus) is capable of causing various lesions.

most suitable for their biochemical properties for life support of this type of microorganism.

of the body, for example, intestinal epithelium should attach to them. It was found that a large number of host cell molecules, in particular, and the receptors of bacteria (proteins of the outer bacterial membrane) are involved in this process.

or stimulate phagocytosis of host cells. These virulence factors allow bacteria to enter the host's body through the layers of cells that come in contact with the pathogen, whether they are cells of the outer covers of plants or animals or layers of epithelium of internal organs.

the site of adhesion. Colonization provides the accumulation of microorganisms to such a critical concentration that can cause a pathological effect.

that inhibit the body's immune system. For example, bacteria secrete proteins that attach to host antibodies. Another type of substance that inhibits the immune response is the polysaccharide capsule surrounding the cell. These polysaccharides complicate phagocytosis of bacteria by specialized cells of the immune system (macrophages) and lymphocytes.

and then secretes into the environment and which causes damage to the host tissues. For example, with food poisoning it is the toxins that cause the symptoms of the disease.

of pathogen toxins in the test material and on the detection of the causative agent. Methods include infecting laboratory animals with the test material, followed by isolation of a pure pathogen culture or establishing the presence of a microbial toxin and its nature. The method is highly sensitive, can be used in the early stages of the disease, but is not always available, expensive, long-lasting, unsafe.

capsular bacteria and is based on the fact that the capsule does not perceive the dyes. The capsule is detected by negative contrasting backgrounds over the Burry. For this, black mascara is mixed into culture and dried. After that, for fixation in the flame of the burner, stain the bodies of microbial cells according to Hins – aqueous fuchsine for 1 minute and rinse with water for 5-10 seconds.

NB! As a result, a colorless capsule and red microbial bodies are clearly visible on a dark background.

haemolysis is the rupturing (lysis) of the red blood cells (erythrocytes) and the release of their contents (cytoplasm) into the surrounding fluid (e.g. blood plasma). Hemolysis may occur in vivo or in vitro (inside or outside the body).
Hemolysins damage the host cytoplasmic membrane, causing cell lysis and death. The activity of these toxins is most easily observed with assays involving the lysis of the red blood cells (erythrocytes).

properties of staphylococci are due to the ability to produce exotoxins and enzymes of aggression. They cause lysis of erythrocytes, have a lethal and necrotic effect. The most studied hemolytic properties of toxins, so they are often called hemolysins. The hemolytic ability of staphylococci can be determined by inoculation on blood agar, in which 18-24 hours around the staphylococcus colony, the hemolysis zone is visible.

Plasma-coagulant activity of the culture is checked by inoculation in tubes with 0.5 ml of citrated rabbit plasma at a dilution of 1: 4. Pathogenic staphylococci coagulate the plasma for 2-24 h under the conditions of a thermostat. Accounting is performed after 24 hours by the formation of a small jelly-like clot on the bottom of the tube.
