Infection01:20

Infection

9.0K
When a pathogen enters the body and reproduces, it can cause an infection, damage body cells, and cause illness symptoms that eventually lead to disease. Therefore, its prevention requires breaking the chain of infection.
The chain begins with pathogens: bacteria, viruses, fungi, prions, or parasites such as protozoa helminths. These can be present on the skin as transient or resident flora, or they can be acquired from the environment. Identifying and treating the type of infection and...

Principles of Disease Surveillance01:26

Principles of Disease Surveillance

219
Disease surveillance is the systematic collection, analysis, and interpretation of health data essential to the planning, implementation, and evaluation of public health practice. This process integrates data dissemination to entities responsible for preventing and controlling disease, injury, and disability. Surveillance systems provide crucial information for action, helping public health authorities make informed decisions to manage and prevent outbreaks, ensure public safety, optimize...

Healthcare Associated Infections II: Preventive Measures

3.1K
Essential infection prevention measures are based on the knowledge of the infection chain, the modes of transmission in healthcare settings, and the use of the best practices in all healthcare settings. Compulsory public reporting of healthcare-associated infection rates is needed to allow individuals and the community to make informed choices regarding selecting a healthcare facility.
The best practices for preventing healthcare-associated infections include hand hygiene, patient risk...

Biological Methods for Microbial Control01:28

Biological Methods for Microbial Control

305
Biological agents offer an effective means of controlling microbial growth by leveraging natural processes like predation, competition, and the secretion of antimicrobial substances.Predatory bacteria such as Bdellovibrio species target and kill pathogens like Salmonella and E. coli. They are widely used in poultry farms to control infections. Myxococcus species help combat plant-pathogenic fungi. These naturally occurring predators serve as eco-friendly alternatives to chemical pesticides and...

Key Techniques in Microbiology01:29

Key Techniques in Microbiology

721
Aseptic techniques prevent contamination, ensure experimental accuracy, and protect researchers and microbial cultures. These techniques are essential in clinical, industrial, and research settings where sterility is required.Maintaining Sterility in Laboratory PracticesScientists maintain sterility by sterilizing tools with heat or chemicals, disinfecting work surfaces, and handling cultures in controlled environments. Working near an open flame or within a laminar flow hood reduces the risk...

Area of Science:

  • Agricultural Science
  • Public Health
  • Risk Management

Background:

  • The term biosecurity originated from managing biological weapons and bioterrorism.
  • It was adopted by the agricultural sector in the 1980s, defined as risk management against biological threats.
  • Multiple definitions and interpretations of biosecurity exist due to its adoption by various organizations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the historical origins and evolution of the biosecurity concept.

  • To explore future perspectives of biosecurity, particularly concerning the One Health Approach and environmental changes.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of strategic documents and organizational publications.
  • Historical analysis of the term 'biosecurity'.
  • Conceptual discussion on the integration of biosecurity with One Health.

Main Results:

  • The term 'biosecurity' has a complex history, originating in defense and expanding into agriculture.
  • A lack of a unified definition hinders consistent application and understanding.
  • The evolving environmental landscape necessitates a re-evaluation of biosecurity strategies.

Conclusions:

  • Biosecurity's definition and application have broadened significantly since its inception.
  • Future biosecurity strategies must integrate with the One Health Approach for comprehensive risk management.
