This document provides information about operating room personnel (ORPs) and various microorganisms. It defines ORPs as operating room technicians and explains their role in providing a controlled environment for surgery. It then lists and describes several major types of microorganisms that include protozoa, fungi, algae, viruses, and bacteria. The document provides some examples of diseases caused by different protozoan and fungal microorganisms. It notes that while most fungi have a symbiotic relationship with hosts, some fungi can cause infections in humans like candidiasis, oral thrush, athlete's foot, and aspergillosis.

• 6 Feb 2012 Protozoa, their very name meaning “firs animals”, are
found on every continent as they are swept along by tides and
currents of oceans and streams.
• Protozoan parasites are rather well distributed throughout the
animal kingdom.
• Protozoa are solitary cells or colonial and nearly all microscopic.
• Protozoa are not found in large masses.
• A few are large enough to be seen with a hand lens, some even
with the naked eye.

The protozoan diseases vary from mild to life threatening.
 Almost all human beings have protozoa in their body at some in
their lifetime. Acquired human Immune Deficiency Syndrome
(AIDS), certain protozoa that once caused mild or no diseases
have become life threatening.
 Malaria - an infective disease caused by (Plasmodium) protozoan
 Diarrhea – an infective disease caused by (Entamoeba) protozoan
 HIV- an infective disease caused by (Trichomoniasis vaginalis)
protozoa
 Infection is caused by eating contaminated meat, (Toxoplasmosis)
protozoa
 Sleeping Sickness-an infective disease caused by (Trypanosome
brucei)

Most species of fungi exist in asymbiotic relationship with a host.
While mycorrhizal fungi cooperate with a live host and saprophytic
fungi live off the remnants of deceased host,
