(from the point of view of microorganism) 1. Colonization 2. Invasion 3. Multiplication 4. Spread 1 of 9 What are 3 ways in which an infection is transmitted? Transmission via direct contact, indirect transmission via vectors (insects), and direct exposure, e.g. faecal oral transmission through food/water 2 of 9 What are 2 ways that infection can be spread from human-to-human? Transmission by aerosolized microorganisms in droplets, and through physical contact 3 of 9 True or false? Developed mechanisms penetrate tissues & avoid host’s nonspecific and specific defences (inflammation & immunity) True 4 of 9 Within what kind of environment do infectious microorganisms multiply rapidly? Warm, nutrient filled host environment 5 of 9 What type of pathogens replicate in macrophages & other cells? Bacterial pathogens 6 of 9 What type of pathogens replicate within infected cells? Viral pathogens 7 of 9 If the host has an intact immune system, how will the microorganism likely spread? The spread of microorganism likely remains localized 8 of 9 If the host has a compromised immune or inflammatory system, how will the infection likely spread? The infection may rapidly spread 9 of 9
