• Every disease is a race between a pathogen trying to gain a foothold and the host defenses trying to prevent the pathogen from doing so.

DiseaseDisease
• Is a Process
• Is a State of Being Not In Good Health
• Involves Many Factors
- Age
- Nutrition
- Gender
- Race

• We tend to equate one pathogen with one disease, but it is more complicated than that.

• It is actually much more complicated than that.

of the body is not properly adjusted or is incapable of performing normal functions often because of infection by pathogens.

Relationships Between Relationships Between Microorganisms and ManMicroorganisms and Man
David Vetter the “Bubble Boy”
Usually germ-free in utero
Microorganisms begin colonization in and on the surface of the body during and after birth
We require these organisms
Germ-free organisms are less healthy than organisms with normal microbiota

Normal Flora Are Found MostlyNormal Flora Are Found Mostly
– on the skin – in the eyes – in the nose – in the mouth – in the upper throat – in the lower urethra – in the lower intestine – especially in the large intestine
• Note that this list basically includes all of the body surfaces exposed to the external environment.

Microbial AntagonismMicrobial Antagonism• Normal Microbiota establish permanent colonies
inside or on the body without producing disease• Symbiosis• Three Types
1. Commensalism
2. Mutualism
3. Parasitism• Transient microbiota are members of the normal flora
that are not always present or are present for only a few days, weeks, or months before disappearing.

• The upper respiratory tract consists of the nostrils, nasal cavities and throat. It contains a number of commensalistic inhabitants including: Staphylococcus epidermidis.
Out of all types of symbiotic bacteria, commemsalists are the least studied. The reason for this is simple; if a bacteria is not causing harm or benefit to a host there is simply not much reasons to studying it.
![Page 21: Principles of Disease](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022013115/56812b1a550346895d8f0bf6/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Microbial AntagonismMicrobial AntagonismMicrobial Antagonism or Colonization inhibition: A process by which pathogenic microorganisms are inhibited by normal florafrom colonizing healthy organisms (a form of symbiosis)
Antagonism between the fungus Paraconyothyrium variabile and Fusarium oxysporum
![Page 22: Principles of Disease](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022013115/56812b1a550346895d8f0bf6/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
• Mechanisms by which this inhibition occurs includes: 1. competing with pathogenic microorganisms
for nutrients
2. competing with pathogenic microorganisms for space
3. producing toxins that are harmful to some pathogenic microorganisms
![Page 23: Principles of Disease](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022013115/56812b1a550346895d8f0bf6/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Remember!Remember!
• Categorizing symbiotic relationships is convenient, but keep in mind that under certain circumstances the relationship can change.
![Page 24: Principles of Disease](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022013115/56812b1a550346895d8f0bf6/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

Cooperation Among Cooperation Among MicroorganismsMicroorganisms
• One of the organizing principles of life on Earth is that cells cooperate.
• This is evident in the case of multicellular organisms, from nematodes to humans, but it also appears to apply widely among single-celled organisms such as bacteria, fungi, and amoeba.
![Page 39: Principles of Disease](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022013115/56812b1a550346895d8f0bf6/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
• A well-studied example of intraspecies cooperation concerns the cyanobacterium Anabaena, which grows in long chains, in which approximately one cell out of ten differentiates into a heterocyst that provides fixed nitrogen for the neighboring cells

Question?
• Assume a classroom of 50 students exposed to a new strain of three-day influenza.
• Before exposure, the prevalence and incidence in this population are both zero.
• If within one week, 5 out of the 50 students contract the flu, what is the incidence?
• What is the prevalence for that one week period?
![Page 61: Principles of Disease](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022013115/56812b1a550346895d8f0bf6/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)

• If after one more week, 5 more students become infected, what is the point prevalence?
• What is the overall prevalence?
• What is the incidence?

Trends
• Changes in incidence and prevalence are usually followed over a seasonal, yearly, and long-term basis and are helpful in predicting trends.
• Statistics of concern to epidemiologists are the rates of disease with regard to sex, race, and geographic region.

The way herd immunity works is by isolating potential hosts and reducing virus’ opportunities to be passed on. For herd immunity to be effective I need to vaccinate at least 90% of the susceptible population.
![Page 71: Principles of Disease](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022013115/56812b1a550346895d8f0bf6/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)
If I drop below a 90% vaccination rate, the chances of passing infection increase and I get small clusters of disease occurring.

Could a copper door handle help to beat MRSA (2009 Study)?
• Doorknobs, bath taps, toilet handles and 'grab rails' will be ripped out and replaced with copper versions at Birmingham's Selly Oak hospital in a bid to beat MRSA
• MRSA has proven resistant to even the most powerful antibiotics. But hospital superbugs may finally have met their match - in copper door handles.
• Copper, used in medicines for 4,000 years, has been shown to be highly effective in killing off pathogens such as MRSA.
• In the trial study, copper grew 95% less bacteria.

Experimental EpidemiologyExperimental Epidemiology• Use of controlled experiments designed to test
hypotheses are performed in experimental epidemiology.
• Example: In these studies normal guinea pigs were exposed to tuberculosis cage mates in two different degrees of crowding, some in ordinary cages, where the food became contaminated with the excreta, laden with tubercle bacilli, of the inoculated animals, and some in special cages with wire-mesh floors, where these excreta were largely excluded as a source of contagion.
