Answer 10

opportunistic pathogens

Question 11

Answer 11

Exogenous

Question 12

_______ acquired infections are caused by pathogens or potential pathogens in or on the body.

Answer 12

Endogenously

Question 13

________ acquired infections results from encounters with pathogens in the environment.

_______ acquired infections are caused by pathogens or potential pathogens in or on the body.

Answer 13

Exogenously acquired infections results from encounters with pathogens in the environment.

Endogenously acquired infections are caused by pathogens or potential pathogens in or on the body.

Question 14

Infection types are based on transmission of the microbe from the environment.

If an infection is _______, it means that the disease is spread from animals to humans; disease is caused by animal pathogens.

Answer 14

If an infection is zoonotic, it means that the disease is spread from animals to humans; disease is caused by animal pathogens.

Zoonotic = Animals ⇒ Humans
