Key Topics in Microbiology Nursing

Bacteria & Bacterial Infections

Quick Fact: Bacteria are single-celled microbes causing infections like pneumonia and TB.

Complete Coverage:

• Definition: Prokaryotes; classified as Gram-positive (e.g., Staphylococcus) or Gram-negative (e.g., E. coli).
• Structure: Cell wall, capsule, flagella; spores in some (e.g., Clostridium).
• Infections: Pneumonia (Streptococcus pneumoniae), TB (Mycobacterium tuberculosis), UTI (E. coli).
• Diagnosis: Culture, Gram staining, PCR for specific pathogens.
• Treatment: Antibiotics (e.g., amoxicillin, ciprofloxacin); resistance is a concern.
• Nursing Role: Collect samples (swab, blood), monitor antibiotic therapy, ensure isolation precautions.
• Complications: Sepsis, antibiotic resistance, organ failure.

Sterilization & Disinfection

Quick Fact: Sterilization eliminates all microbes; disinfection reduces pathogens.

Complete Coverage:

• Sterilization: Autoclaving (121°C, 15 psi, 15 min), dry heat, radiation for surgical tools.
• Disinfection: Chemical agents (alcohol, chlorine) for surfaces, non-critical items.
• Methods: Boiling, UV radiation, pasteurization; not effective for spores.
• Nursing Role: Ensure sterile equipment, follow infection control protocols, educate staff.
• Applications: OT sterilization, wound care, catheter maintenance.
• Complications: Improper sterilization leads to nosocomial infections.
• RRB Focus: Know autoclave parameters (121°C, 15 min).

Viruses & Viral Infections

Quick Fact: Viruses are acellular pathogens causing infections like hepatitis, measles.

Complete Coverage:

• Definition: Obligate intracellular parasites; DNA or RNA core with protein coat.
• Infections: Hepatitis (HAV, HBV), measles, influenza, HIV/AIDS.
• Transmission: Droplet (influenza), blood (HBV), fecal-oral (HAV).
• Diagnosis: PCR, serology (ELISA for HIV), antigen tests.
• Treatment: Antivirals (e.g., acyclovir for herpes), supportive care.
• Nursing Role: Administer antivirals, enforce isolation (airborne for measles), educate on prevention.
• Complications: Chronic infections (HBV), immunosuppression (HIV).

Fungi & Parasites

Quick Fact: Fungi and parasites cause infections like candidiasis and malaria.

Complete Coverage:

• Fungi: Candida (thrush), Aspergillus (lung infections); thrive in moist environments.
• Parasites: Plasmodium (malaria), Entamoeba histolytica (amoebiasis).
• Transmission: Fungi (inhalation, skin contact), parasites (mosquito bites, contaminated water).
• Diagnosis: Microscopy (malaria smear), culture (fungal infections).
• Treatment: Antifungals (fluconazole), antiparasitics (artemisinin for malaria).
• Nursing Role: Monitor for fever, administer drugs, educate on hygiene.
• Complications: Systemic fungal infections, severe anemia (malaria).

Immunity & Vaccines

Quick Fact: Immunity protects against infections; vaccines enhance immunity.

Complete Coverage:

• Types: Innate (skin, phagocytes), adaptive (T/B cells, antibodies).
• Vaccines: BCG (TB), OPV (polio), DPT (diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus), MMR (measles, mumps, rubella).
• Schedule: India’s UIP: BCG at birth, DPT at 6, 10, 14 weeks, MMR at 9 months.
• Nursing Role: Administer vaccines, monitor adverse effects (fever, rash), educate parents.
• Mechanism: Stimulate antibody production, provide herd immunity.
• Complications: Anaphylaxis, vaccine failure (rare).
• JIPMER Focus: Know UIP schedule (e.g., DPT boosters at 16–24 months).
