The body has its own bacteria which help build immune systems this demonstrates we need these good bacteria to live and it can be made into vaccinations which will better able the body to fight the virus off if it were to return. Viruses are microorganisms that are non living organisms that can be found everywhere in the air and on inanimate objects‚ the viruses are not harmful until they gain access to a living cell‚ evolving them into genetic parasites they need to do this in order to live and

1.1 & 1.2 To start this unit I will be discussing about the differences between bacteria‚ viruses‚ fungi and parasites. Bacteria: These are tiny microorganisms‚ they cannot be seen with the naked eye. They exist on virtually every living thing or object in the environment i.e. dirt‚ water‚ caves‚ trees‚ dead animals‚ and within everybody living on earth. Its nutrition is from its surroundings. We carry bacteria in the body‚ mainly in the intestines‚ on the genitalia or on the skin. Bacteria can

Staphylococcus epidermidis is one of the most prevalent microorganisms found on the human skin and in the mucous membranes‚ however‚ it is a typically overlooked bacterium because there is very little that is known about it. Though it is not as aggressive as its cousin Staphylococcus aureus‚ Staphylococcus epidermidis is the most frequent cause for nosocomial pathogens‚ especially among newborns‚ the elderly‚ and anyone who has a compromised immune system. These infections are usually associated

An infection is defined as “an invasion of body tissues by microorganisms that use the body’s environment to multiply” (Lynch‚ Elmore‚ & Morgan‚ 2012). During

the respiratory system. This natural opening is a long‚ convoluted passage covered by mucous membranes that trap airborne particles and prevent most of them from reaching the lungs. Other anatomical barriers are the skull and vertebral column‚ which protect the central nervous system- few pathogens are able to penetrate bone. The skin also is a major anatomical barrier to microorganisms. The surface layer of dead‚ hardened cells is relatively dry‚ and skin secretions make the surface somewhat acidic

Propose how would you minimise the occurrence of hospital acquired infection and monitor degree of success of these measures. INTRODUCTION The occurrence and undesirable complications from hospital acquired infections (HAIs) have been well recognized for the last several decades. The occurrence of HAIs continues to escalate at an alarming rate. HAIs originally referred to those infections associated with admission in an acute-care hospital (formerly called a nosocomial infection). These unanticipated
