9 I NFECTIOUS DISEASE, MISC. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xxd63o7Usg http://www.google.org/flutrends/about/how.html
10
10 F ACTORS FOR I NFECTION Communicability Ability to spread from one individual to others and cause disease: measles and pertussis spread very easily, HIV is of lower communicability Immunogenicity Ability of pathogens to induce an immune response
11
11 F ACTORS FOR I NFECTION ( CONT ’ D ) Infectivity Ability of pathogen to invade and multiply in the host Involves attachment to cell surface, release of enzymes, escape phagocytes, spread through lymph and blood to tissues Pathogenicity Ability of an agent to produce disease Success depends on communicability, infectivity, extent of tissue damage, and virulence
12
12 F ACTORS FOR I NFECTION ( CONT ’ D ) Mechanism of action How the microorganism damages tissue Portal of entry Route by which a pathogenic microorganism infects the host Direct contact Inhalation Ingestion Bites of an animal or insect
13
13
14
14 F ACTORS FOR I NFECTION ( CONT ’ D ) Toxigenicity Ability to produce soluble toxins or endotoxins, factors that greatly influence the pathogen’s degree of virulence Virulence Capacity of a pathogen to cause severe disease; for example, measles virus is of low virulence; while rabies virus is highly virulent
15
15 C LASSES OF I NFECTIOUS M ICROORGANISMS AND EXAMPLES Virus (poliomyelitis, influenza) Bacteria (Staph, Cholera, Strep pneumonia, TB) Fungi (tinea pedis, candidiasis) Protozoa (giardiasis, sleeping sickness) Chlamydia (Urethritis) Rickettsia (Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever) Mycoplasma (Atypical pneumonia) Helminths (Filariasis)
16
16 P ATHOGEN D EFENSE M ECHANISMS Bacteria Produce surface coats that inhibit phagocytosis and toxins Viruses Many can mutate within cells where they are not available to immune and inflammatory mechanisms Not available to antibodies in circulation Antigenic variations: Antigenic drift Antigenic shifts http://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/viruses/change.htm

18
18 B ACTERIAL V IRULENCE AND I NFECTIVITY Toxin production Exotoxins (cytotoxins, neurotoxins, pneumotoxins, enterotoxins, hemolysins) Enzymes released during growth, causing specific responses Immunogenic Antitoxin production Ex. Tetanus, diptheria, pertussis, group A streptococci (flesh eating bacteria) Endotoxins Lipopolysaccharides contained in the cell walls of gram- negative organisms released during cell destruction Pyrogenic effects
19

20
20 B ACTERIAL V IRULENCE AND I NFECTIVITY ( CONT ’ D ) Bacteremia (presence) or septicemia (growth) A result of a failure of the body’s defense mechanisms Usually caused by gram-negative bacteria Toxins released in the blood cause the release of vasoactive peptides and cytokines that produce widespread vasodilation leading to septic (endotoxic) shock https://depts.washington.edu/idhmc/guidelines/hospital /hmc_sepsis.html (UW Sepsis protocol) https://depts.washington.edu/idhmc/guidelines/hospital /hmc_sepsis.html
