Q

Describe the epidemiology, spread and damage cause. Identify the common symptoms generalize straph infection and oral abscesses.

A

Person a person spread through direct contact or exposure to contaminated fomites. Most infections are with the patient own organism. The organism are ubiquitous so there are no ubiquitous so there are no geographic or seasonal limitation

Q

Describe the epidemiology, spread and damage cause. Identify the common symptoms generalize straph infection and oral abscesses.

A

Entry
Don’t usually penetrate deep issues unless the skin or mucous membranes are damaged or cut.
Poor hygiene or prolonged moisture of the skin- permits the growth of large numbers of organisms
