hazard communication
- When immunity is present at birth, it is referred to as what? - -Inherited

defend against pathogens normally found in the environment is an what? - -
An opportunistic infection
- A disease that can be transmitted in some way from the host to another is
an what? - -An infectious disease, a communicable disease, and a
contagious disease
- The transmission of a disease to a susceptible person by handling
contaminated instruments or by touching contaminated surfaces is referred
to as what? - -Indirect transmission
, - What is considered to be the best method for determining whether there is
proper sterilization function of a sterilizer? - -A biological spore test through
a monitoring system

droplet spatter? - -Droplet infection
