Disinfection is complex of measures that are directed to prevention spread of microorganisms which can be agent of disease. Disinfection, refers to the use of a physical process or a chemical agent (a disinfectant) to destroy vegetative pathogens but not bacterial endospores. It is important to note that disinfectants are normally used only on inanimate objects because, in the concentration required to be effective, they can be toxic to human and other animal tissue.
Aseptic techniques commonly practiced in health care range from sterile methods that exclude all microbes to antisepsis.
In antisepsis, chemical agents called antiseptics are applied directly to exposed body surfaces (skin and mucous membrane), wounds, and surgical incisions to destroy or inhibit vegetative pathogens. Examples of antisepsis include preparing the skin before surgical incision with iodine compounds
Antimicrobial agents used to control microbial growth and prevent infections. A disinfectant is a chemical used for disinfection of inanimate objects, whereas an antiseptics is a disinfectant that is nontoxic enough to be used on human tissue. Washing hands with soap for prevention of microorganisms penetration into organism. Applying antiseptic to wound for prevention of sepsis. To clean skin surfaces with ethanol before giving injections to prevent infection through breaks in the skin Sanitization. Может ли в норме содержать ( contain) питьевая вода мо ?
A germicide can be used on inanimate (nonliving) materials or on living tissue, but it ordinarily cannot kill resistant microbial cells.
Surface-active agents (detergents) like soap reduce the surface tension of liquids. They act against many vegetative bacteria by attacking the cytoplasmic membrane.
As a characteristic of the quality of medicinal preparation, Paul Ehrlich introduced the chemotherapeutic index which is the ratio of the maximal tolerated dose to the minimal therapeutic (curative) dose. The chemotherapeutic index should not be less than 3.
Paul Ehrlich have provided principled of chemotherapy.
Whenever complex mixtures of organisms associate, they develop various dynamic interrelationships based on nutrition and shared habitant. Community interactions that have beneficial, harmful, or neutral effects. When mutualism two members required each other for survival. In contrast, commensalism is one-side and independent. It second microorganism take benefit, first microorganism receives no profit. Parasitism is an intimate relationship whereby a parasite derives its nutrients and habitant or kill susceptible species sharing its habitat. In synergism , two organisms that are usually independent cooperate to break down a nutrient neither one could have metabolized alone. A predator is a form of consumer that actively seeks out and ingests live prey (protozoa that prey on algae and bacteria).
Antagonism occurs when one population produces a substance inhibitory to another population. The production of antibiotics, for example, can give the antibiotic-producing population an advantage over a sensitive strain when competing for the same nutrient resources.
Antibiotics are substances produced by the natural metabolic processes of some microorganisms that can inhibit or destroy other microorganisms. Other antimicrobial substances, termed synthetic drugs, are derived in the laboratory from dyes or other organic compounds. Although separation into these 2 categories has bee traditional, they tend to overlap, because many antibiotics are now chemically altered in the laboratory. There are semisynthetic antibiotics.
Peptidoglican (murein) Drugs such as penicillins and cephalospirins reach with one or more of the enzymes required to complete process of peptidoglycan synthesize, causing the cell to develop weak points at growth sites and to become osmotically fragile. Most of these antibiotics are active only in young, actively growing cells, because old, inactive cells do not synthesize murein.
Chloramphenicol can be either bactericidal or bacteriostatic, depending on the organism
After passing through the cell wall of gram-negative bacteria, polymyxin binds to the cell membrane and disrupts its structure.
In general, a microorganism loses its sensitivity to a drug by expressing genes that stop the action of the drug. Gene expression takes the form of:…….. beta-lactamases hydrolyze the beta-lactam ring structure of some penicillins and cephalosporins. The resistance of some bacteria can be due to a mechanism that prevents the drug from entering the cell and acting on its target. For example, the outer membrane of the cell wall of certain gram-negative bacteria is a natural blockade for some of the penicillin drugs. Resistance to the tetracyclines can arise from plasmid-encoded proteins that pump the drug out of the cell. Because most drugs act on a specific target such as protein, RNA, DNA, or membrane structure, microbes can circumvent drugs by altering the nature of this target. Erythromycin and clindamycin resistance is associated with an alteration on the 5OS ribosomal binding site. The action of antimetabolites can be circumvented if a microbe develops an alternative metabolic pathway or enzyme Some bacteria can become resistant indirectly by lapsing into dormancy, or, in the case of penicillin, by converting to a cell-wall-deficient form (L-form) that penicillin cannot affect.
Natural resistance depends on absence of target for antibiotic. For ins. Mycoplasma is not sensitive to penicillin because do not have cell wall with murein. Mutation, recombination and plasmid- and transponos-mediated resistance are based on changes in genetic material and can be transferred from one bacterium to another. Chromosomal resistance is due to a mutation is the gene that codes for either the target of the drug or the transport system in the membrane that controls the uptake of the drug. The frequency of spontaneous mutations usually is one mutational cell among to billion of intact cells. It is much lower than the frequency of plasmid-mediated resistance. Therefore, chromosomal resistance is less of a clinical problem than is plasmid-mediated resistance.
Any large population of microbes is likely to contain a few individual cells that are already drug-resistant because of prior mutations or transfer of plasmids ( a). As long as the drug is not present in the habitat, the numbers of these resistant forms will remain low because they have no particular growth advantage. But if the population is subsequently exposed to this drug ( b), sensitive individuals are inhibited or destroyed, and resistant forms survive and proliferate. During subsequent population growth, all offspring of these resistant microbes will inherit this drug resistance. In time, the population will become completely resistant (figure c). In ecological terms, the environmental factor (in this case, the drug) has put selection pressure on the population, allowing the more "fit" microbe (the drug-resistant one) to survive, and the population has evolved to a condition of drug resistance. Natural selection for drug-resistant forms is apparently a common phenomenon. It takes place most frequently in various natural habitats, laboratories, and medical environments, but it occasionally occurs within the bodies of humans and animals during drug therapy
Most normal, healthy body surfaces, such as the skin, large intestine, oral cavity provide numerous habitats for a virtual "garden" of microorganisms. These normal colonists or residents, called the flora* or microflora, consist mostly of harmless or beneficial bacteria, but some can be potential pathogens. If a broad-spectrum antimicrobic is introduced into the host to treat infection, it will destroy microbes regardless of their roles in the ecological balance, affecting not only the targeted infectious agent but also many others in sites far removed from the original infection. In some cases, the result of this therapy is the destruction of beneficial resident species and the subsequent survival and overgrowth of opportunistic residents or contaminants that can be agent of disease.
The Kirby-Bauer technique is an agar diffusion test that provides useful semiquantitative data on antimicrobic susceptibility. In this test, the surface of a plate of special medium is covered completely with the test bacterium, and small discs containing a antimicrobic are dispensed onto the bacterial lawn. After 18 to 24 hours of incubation at 37°C, the zone of inhibition surrounding the discs is measured and compared with a standard for each drug . The profile of antimicrobic sensitivity, or antibiogram, provides data for drug selection. An advantage of the Kirby-Bauer procedure is that many drugs can be tested simultaneously in a single plate.
More sensitive and quantitative results can be obtained with tube dilution tests. First the antimicrobic is diluted serially in containers of broth, and then each tube is inoculated with a small uniform sample of pure culture. After incubation for 18-24 hours, the tubes are examined for growth. The smallest concentration of drug that visibly inhibits growth is called the minimum inhibitory concentration, or MIC.
