Bacterial infections are normally treated with a cause of antibiotics Viruses are made up of genes and proteins that spread throughout the body by invading the body’s own cells so they can reproduce and multiply in the body. They use the body’s cells as a host because they are unable to multiply on their own. They are normally spread directly from human

A bacteria is a living things that are neither plants nor animals‚ but belong to a group all by themselves. They are very small--individually not more than one single cell--however there are normally millions of them together‚ for they can multiply really fast.

Causes and spread of infection Identify the differences between bacteria‚ viruses‚ fungi‚ parasites? -Viruses aren’t living. They’re only made of complex proteins and nucleic acids. Bacteria‚ Fungi and Parasites are living organisms. - Bacteria are unicellular microorganisms. Fungi and Parasites are multicellular. - Fungi have cell walls made of chitin and they aren’t animals. Parasites and bacteria are animals. Bacteria come in 3 main shapes; spherical which are known as cocci‚ rod shaped

MICRO-ORGANISMS BACTERIA – Bacteria are forms of spores that can multiply‚ some bacteria’s are difficult to destroy and are able to survive for long periods. Bacteria cells come in a variety of shapes and sizes‚ however all bacteria’s have the same basic structure‚ below is a image of bacteria cell with labels identifying what a bacteria cell consists of: VIRUSES – viruses are smaller than bacteria and can only be seen under a microscope‚ they can only multiply in living cells.

Aims Causes and Spread of Infection This unit is to enable the learner to understand the causes of infection and common illnesses that may result as a consequence. To understand the difference between both infection and colonisation and pathogenic and non pathogenic organisms‚ the areas of infection and the types caused by different organisms. In addition‚ the learner will understand the methods of transmission‚ the conditions needed for organisms to grow‚ the ways infection enter the body and

Infection control The different routes‚ through which infection can get into the body‚ are: * You can get an infection through the respiratory tract and into the lung‚ by a cough‚ cold‚ influenza and any other common airborne infections that are contracted in this fashion. * You could get it through a cut or wound that has broken the skin‚ one of the main functions of the skin is to act as a barrier against any infection. Anything that penetrates the skin or for that matter the mucous membrane
