Answer 25

Chain of infection Micro. That causes infectious disease Bacteria, vines, fungus, Protozoa or prion

Question 26

Reservoir

Answer 26

Chain of infection Place where micro. Can survive. Carrier. Organism infected but no symptoms displayed can still transmit tocthers

Answer 29

Chain of infection Path used by infect. Agent to enter most Rest, genitourinary, gi, skin and mmb, transplacental Parenteral= something put inside body but not swallowed (ex. injection)

Answer 30

Chain of infection Person or animal that lacks ability to resist infection by agent Colonization= when micro. Live on or in host and do not harm or damage

Question 31

Chain of infection

Answer 31

Causative agents → reservoir→ portal of exit → mode of transmission → portal of entry → susceptible most

Question 32

Characteristics that make micro. Capable of causing disease

Answer 32

- Invasiveness: ability to invade and cause damage - Pathogenicity: to gain entry and cause dz. - Virulence: degree of pathogenicity - infectious dose: quant ay of micro. Required - Viability in a free state: a bitty to survive outside host - ability to develop resistance to antimicrobial agents

Interrupting chain

Answer 33

Use aseptic technique to avoid cross contamination, physically removing contaminated substances, use effective disinfection and sterilization
