1 There is a PATHOGEN in the room! Please protect yourselves immediately. Put on your gloves and aprons, and clear your desks completely.

2 Let’s Find out who is PATIENT ONE… Only make a contact when it is called. Write down your contacts.

3 GOAL 8: Pathology Pathology- study of disease Pathogens- disease-causing “agents” (bacteria, viruses, fungi, worms…)

4

5 GOAL 8 (con’t.) Bacteria produce disease by: 1.Producing EXOTOXINS- made of protein; secreted into the environment 2.Producing ENDOTOXINS- made of lipids and carbohydrates; released when bacteria die 3.Destroying body tissues

6 GOAL 9: Bacteria resist antibiotics (Antibiotics- drugs that destroy bacteria) 1. The most susceptible die first. 2. Those that do not die, live and reproduce, passing on their resistant genes to new bacteria (offspring). 3. This can occur if a patient does not finish a full prescription, or if antibiotics are overused.

7 GOAL 10: How are bacteria helpful?

8 GOAL 11: How are bacteria spread?
