BACTERIA
Bacteria: one-celled micro-organisms
Non-disease producing bacteria
Disease-producing bacteria
CHAPTER 2 SALON ECOLOGY | MICROBIOLOGY | BACTERIA

NONPATHOGENIC BACTERIA
• Do not produce disease
• Can be very beneficial
Saprophytes are nonpathogenic bacteria that live on dead matter and do not produce disease.
Approximately 70% of all bacteria are nonpathogenic and many live on the surface of the skin.
CHAPTER 2 SALON ECOLOGY | MICROBIOLOGY | BACTERIA

PATHOGENIC BACTERIA
• Cause infection and disease
• Have distinct shapes
• Some produce toxins
• Spread easily
• Live everywhere
CHAPTER 2 SALON ECOLOGY | MICROBIOLOGY | BACTERIA

PATHOGENIC BACTERIA
1.
Cocci
• Staphylococci
• Streptococci
• Diplococci
2.
Bacilli
3.
Spirilla
Round Appear in groups or singularly
Bunches Found in boils
Pus-forming
Long chains Cause strep throat
Pus-forming
Pairs Cause pneumonia
Rod
Spiral
Most common form of bacterial cells
Cause syphilis, lyme disease, cholera
CHAPTER 2 SALON ECOLOGY | MICROBIOLOGY | BACTERIA

GROWTH OF BACTERIA
ACTIVE STAGE
• Reproduce and grow rapidly
• Require dark, damp, dirty places with food
• Divide into two new cells
INACTIVE STAGE
• No growth occurs when conditions unfavorable
• Spores not harmed by disinfectants, cold or heat
• Become active when conditions are favorable
CHAPTER 2 SALON ECOLOGY | MICROBIOLOGY | GROWTH OF BACTERIA

MOVEMENT OF BACTERIA
Bacilli and spirilla use flagella (cilia) to propel themselves.
CHAPTER 2 SALON ECOLOGY | MICROBIOLOGY | GROWTH OF BACTERIA

VIRUSES
• Sub-microscopic particles; much smaller than bacteria
• Cause familiar diseases like the common cold, measles,
HBV, HIV
CHAPTER 2 SALON ECOLOGY | MICROBIOLOGY | VIRUSES

HUMAN HEPATITIS B (HBV)
• Highly infectious disease that infects liver
• Vaccine-preventable disease
• Personal service workers are often vaccinated
ACQUIRED IMMUNODEFICIENCY SYNDROME (AIDS)
• Caused by HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus)
• Affects the body’s natural immune system
• Spread by body fluids entering blood stream of uninfected individual
CHAPTER 2 SALON ECOLOGY | MICROBIOLOGY | VIRUSES

EXTERNAL PARASITES
External Parasites: Organisms that live on or obtain nutrients from another organism
Parasitic Fungi
• Include molds and yeasts
• Produce contagious diseases such as ringworm, comb ringworm and nail fungus
• Produce non-contagious conditions such as dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis
Parasitic Mites
• Include insects that produce contagious diseases such as itch mites and head lice
CHAPTER 2 SALON ECOLOGY | MICROBIOLOGY | EXTERNAL PARASITES

Prevent spread of contagions (fungi, bacteria and mites) through proper disinfection procedures.
CHAPTER 2 SALON ECOLOGY | MICROBIOLOGY | EXTERNAL PARASITES

HEAD LICE
• Transmitted from one person to another
• Accompanied by scratching, redness or small bite marks
• Controlled by pediculicide shampoo
CHAPTER 2 SALON ECOLOGY | MICROBIOLOGY | EXTERNAL PARASITES

INFECTION
Infection: disease-producing (pathogenic) bacteria or viruses enter body and multiply to point of interfering with body’s normal state
Contagious Infection (Communicable Disease): can be transmitted from one person to another
Bloodborne Pathogens: disease-causing bacteria or viruses that are carried through blood or body fluids
CHAPTER 2 SALON ECOLOGY | MICROBIOLOGY | INFECTION

COMMON WAYS OF SPREADING INFECTION IN THE SALON:
• Open sores
• Unclean hands and implements
• Coughing or sneezing
• Use of same implements on infected areas and noninfected areas
CHAPTER 2 SALON ECOLOGY | MICROBIOLOGY | INFECTION

2 CLASSES OF INFECTION
Local
• Small, confined area
• Pus-filled boil, pimple or inflamed area
General
• All parts of the body (systemic)
• Circulatory system carries bacteria and toxins
A person carrying disease-producing bacteria or viruses with no recognizable symptoms is called an asymptomatic carrier.
CHAPTER 2 SALON ECOLOGY | MICROBIOLOGY | INFECTION

IMMUNITY
Active Immunity
• Antibodies produced after exposure to disease
• Disease exposure through infection or vaccination
• Long-lasting or lifelong
• Antibodies given directly
• Antibodies given through blood products or via placenta to newborn
• Lasts only a few weeks or months
Passive Immunity
Universal Precautions: practice of using the same infection control procedures with all clients
