ANSWERS LATEST UPDATE
Normal flora bacteria will cause which type of infection
endogenous
Pathogens obtained in contaminated food are a form of
indirect transmission
Produced or arising from within a cell or organism
endogenous
An infection which is caused by organisms already present in the body is best
described as
endogenous
What term refers to the invasion of the body by macroscopic parasites?
infestation
A highly communicable disease which is easily spread directly from person to
person is considered:
contagious
Weakening or diluting the virulence of a pathogenic organism is
attenuation
True or False: Exogenous infections are infections by organisms not present in
the body
True
A bacterium which has a high degree of pathogenicity is said to be very
virulent
What term is defined as the invasion of the body by living microorganisms with
subsequent multiplication and disease production?
infection
Infections transmitted in utero or during birth are
congenitally transmitted
Dilution or weakening of the virulence of a microorganism, reducing or abolishing
pathogenicity.
attenuation
What is a mode of direct disease transmission
droplet spray
originating outside an organ or part
exogenous infections
A communicable disease that occurs in a community only as an occasional case
is termed
sporadic
disease that occurs continuously in a particular region, but has low mortality. a
disease that is continuously present in a community
endemic
