• Animal care Description
This course will be available On Demand: September 6, 2012
When the skin is healthy and intact only a few species of bacteria can commonly invade it. This is not surprising in view of the anatomical, physiological and immune-biochemical barriers it presents. The normal flora on the skin can become dangers when the skin is compromised and/or when the overall immunity of the individual is weakened. In addition, many types of microbes can infect the unbroken surface of the skin itself. Moreover, normal flora that resides on the skin have developed strategies to invade it and infect internal organs and the circulation. It is thought that hospital acquired infections (nosocomial) affects approximately 10% of all in-patients and causes delays in discharge and elevated costs. While the normal flora acts as a protective barrier it is important to understand the balance between its protective effect and the danger it presents when the homeostasis in the innate immunity and the skin barrier is shifted.
This 90-minute accredited online training course will describe the skin barrier, key aspects in its innate immunity and normal skin flora. It will further portray the different strategies for bacterial invasion, the danger of nosocomial infections and susceptible population.
