. Understanding the causes of infection 1.1 Identify the differences between bacteria‚ viruses‚ fungi and parasites. Bacterial and fungi infections are easy to cure with the use of antibiotics‚ where as viruses can be hard to cure or vaccinate against‚ such as the common cold. Bacteria can be found everywhere and anywhere Soil‚ Water‚ Plants‚ Animals‚ material and even deep in the earth’s crust. Bacteria feed themselves by making there food with the use of sunlight and water. We would not

The AIDS outbreak in the United States in the late 1980’s prompted education on the prevention of the spread of AIDS by the use of condoms. The AIDS Education and Training Center (AETC) Program was established in 1987 by the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). A similarity between Thailand and the US is that both countries were concerned and had been for many years regarding the AIDS epidemic. Mechai’s work inThailand focused on prevention

Unit 008; Causes and spread of infections. Outcome 1. Understand the cause of infection: 1) Identify the differences between bacteria‚ viruses‚ fungi and parasites. Bacteria – bacteria are extremely small singular organisms which are found almost everywhere. Viruses – it is a coated genetic material that invades cells and uses the cells apparatus for reproduction. Fungi – it is a multi-celled living organism. Parasites – they are types of living plants and animals that derive benefit

Potential Energy Potential Energy is a type of energy that does not involve motion. It is the energy that is stored up. The more work done to change an object’s position or shape‚ the more potential energy it has. For example‚ a person on a ladder has more potential energy than a person on the ground because they have done more work to get up there. Kinetic Energy Kinetic Energy is the energy of motion. The more work an object has done‚ the more kinetic energy it has. the amount of kinetic

NOSOCOMIAL INFECTIONS Nosocomial Infection is an infection that occurs in a hospital of hospital-like setting. Approximately 10% of American hospital patients contract this infection. There are three factors as to why nosocomial infection exists: 1. A high prevalence of pathogens. 2. A high prevalence of compromised hosts. 3. Efficient mechanisms of transmission from patient to patient. These three factors alone lead not just to a higher chance of transmission

examples of work done=force x distance What is work? Work in physics is the transfer of energy; work is done on an object when an applied force moves it through a distance. The link between work and energy is work done equals energy transferred. The units for the two are also the same (joules). E.g. 500J of work = 500J of kinetic energy. Work is calculated with the formula: work done=force x distance moved For example‚ if a force of 10 newton (F = 10 N) acts along point that travels 2 meters

ICO2: Causes and spread of infection 1.1 Bactetria are: Bacteria are organisms made up of just one cell. They are capable of multiplying by themselves‚ as they have the power to divide into different shapes. Their shapes vary‚ and that’s how they are used to separate them into groups. Usually a few micrometres in length. Bacteria are present in most surroundings on the planet‚ growing in soil‚ acidic hot springs‚ radioactive waste‚ water‚ and deep in the Earth’s crust‚ as well as in organic
