Milady Cosmetology State Board Review
1. Bacteria: One-celled microorganisms having both plant and animal characteris- tics some
are harmful and some are harmless.
2. Direct Transmission: Transmission of blood or body fluids through touching (including
shaking hands),kissing,coughing, sneezing, and talking.
3. Indirect transmission: Transmission of blood or body fluids through contact with an
intermediate contaminated object, such as a razor, extractor,nipper, or an environmental
surface.
4. Infection: Invasion of body tissues by disease-causing pathogens.
5. Germs: Nonscientific synonym for disease-producing organs
6. Microorganism: Any organism of microscopic to submicroscopic size.
7. Parasites: Organisms that grow,feed, and shelter on or in another organism (referred to as
the host),while contributing nothing to the survival of that organism. Parasites must have a
host to survive.
8. Toxins: Various poisonous substance produced by some microorganisms (bac- teria and

viruses).
9. Virus: A parasitic submicroscopic particle that infects and resides in cells of biological
organisms. A virus is capable of replication only though taking over the host cell's
reproductive function.
10. Cocci: Round shaped, alone
11. Staphylococci: Clusters like bunches of grapes, may not cause infection in healthy
humans. Causes pustules, and boils.
12. Streptococci: Pus-forming arranged in curved lines like string of beads.Causes strep throat
and blood poisoning.
13. Diplococci: Spherical bacteria that grow in pairs. Causes pneumonia.
14. Bacilli: Short rod shaped. Causes tetanus, lockjaw,tuberculosis, and diphthe- ria.Moves
using flagella.
15. Spirilla: Spiral or corkscrew shaped bacteria. Causes sexually transmitted dis- ease, and
syphilis.
Moves using flagella.
16. Active Stage of bacteria: Bacteria grow and reproduce in warm, damp or dirty places.
17. Inactive or spore forming stage: During this stage bacteria coat themselves with wax like
outer shells.This helps them withstand famine, dryness, and unsuitable temperatures.
