The disease that caused by microbial infection will be spreading rapidly. The mode of disease transmission differs from type to type. Diseases like flu and anthrax spread through airborne. Cholera and typhoid spread through contaminated water. AIDS and HPV spread through blood transfusion and physical contact. Disease spreads through nonliving objects are termed as fomites.

- If a cut or scrape becomes infected, Staphylococcus aureus is probably the culprit (right). These bacteria often live on the skin and they can cause a problem if they get into a wound. Most staph infections can be cured with the antibiotic methicillin. Unfortunately, methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) is on the rise. Previously, antibiotic-resistant staph infections occurred mainly in hospitals and nursing homes. Now they are breaking out in schools and health clubs. The bacteria are transmitted by contact with an infected person or something that person has touched, as by sharing towels and razors. The gene conferring methicillin resistance is on a plasmid. Explain why a gene that is on a plasmid can spread more quickly than one on the bacterial chromosome.arrow_forwardA lesion which is a raised collection of pus is called ___. empyema a pustule genera wet gangrenearrow_forwardA disease labeled as infectious is known to be ___. a secondary or opportunistic infection caused by a microbe caused by nutritional deficiency incurablearrow_forward
