chain of infection how bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites, and prions move from place to place.
These are contact, droplet, and airborne.
infectious agent something that contains a bacterium, fungus, virus, parasite, or prion.
EX: a flora moving and bringing the agent else where and creating an infection.
it is destroyed by disinfecting, sterilizing, and cleaning through antimicrobial
treatments.
Reservoir habitat of the infectious agent- where it lives, grows, reproduces, and replicates
itself.
inanimate- soil, water, food
animate- insects, birds, animals
use proper hand hygiene

Hand hygiene and proper barrier
portal of entry Any body orfice (ears, nose, mouth, or skin) that provides a place for an
infectious agent to replicate or for a toxin to act.
invasive lines and devices provide a entry into the body

-underlying diseases (HIV/AIDS) malignancy,
-transplants,
-medications (immunosuppressants, antirejection meds, antineoplastics,
corticosteroids, gastric suppressant)
-surgical procedures
-radiation therapy
-indwelling devices
droplet transmission droplets from the respiratory tract (coughing, singing, sneezing) into the air and
mucosa of a host
Ex: influenza and pertussis.
Throw away any material touched by droplet transmission agents.
contact trasmission object or person
airborne transmission when small particulates move into airspace of another person
The patient would need to placed in a negative air pressure room
Ex: TB, rubeola
