Question

match the definition below with the correct vocabulary term.

1. bacteria capable of producing a protective coating that allows them to withstand very harsh environments, and shed the coating when conditions become more favorable
2. the amount of visibly moist time required to be effective against pathogens listed on product label
3. common household bleach; an effective disinfectant for the salon
4. an infection, such as a pimple or abscess, that is confined to a particular part of the body and appears as a lesion containing pus
5. the ability to produce an effect
6. infectious microorganisms in human blood that can cause disease in humans, include hepatitis b (hbv), hepatitis c (hcv) and human immunodeficiency virus (hiv)
7. also known as reusable items; items that can be cleaned, disinfected, and used on more than one person, even if the item is accidentally exposed to blood or body fluid
8. a virus that causes warts in humans, but is also the cause of cervical cancer in women
9. the process that completely destroys all microbial life, including spores
10. immunity that is partly inherited and partly developed through healthy living
11. the removal of blood and all other potentially infectious materials on an item’s surface, and the removal of visible debris or residue such as dust, hair, and skin
12. an inflammation or infection of the transparent membrane (conjunctiva) that lines your eyelid and covers the white part of your eyeball, also called \pink eye\
13. a chemical process for reducing the number of disease - causing germs on cleaned surfaces to a safe level
14. a microscopic germ that normally exists in tap water in small numbers

Explanation:

1. Spore - forming bacteria can produce protective coatings (spores) to withstand harsh conditions and shed them when conditions improve.
2. Contact time is the amount of visibly moist time required for a disinfectant to be effective against pathogens.
3. Sodium hypochlorite is common household bleach and an effective disinfectant for salons.
4. A localized infection like a pimple or abscess with pus - filled lesion is a localized infection.
5. Efficacy refers to the ability to produce an effect.
6. Blood - borne pathogens are infectious microorganisms in human blood that can cause disease, such as HBV, HCV, and HIV.
7. Reusable items can be cleaned, disinfected, and used on more than one person.
8. Human papillomavirus (HPV) causes warts and is linked to cervical cancer in women.
9. Sterilization is the process that completely destroys all microbial life, including spores.
10. Natural immunity is partly inherited and partly developed through healthy living.
11. Cleaning is the removal of blood and other potentially infectious debris or residue.
12. Conjunctivitis is an inflammation or infection of the conjunctiva, also called pink - eye.
13. Disinfection is a chemical process for reducing the number of disease - causing germs on cleaned surfaces to a safe level.
14. Bacteria such as Legionella can exist in small numbers in tap water.
