Quiz Please

We live in a world of bacteria and viruses. 
  • So why is it sometimes we get sick?
  • We know three things are necessary for an infectious disease to develop.
    • A susceptible host.
    • The agent of the disease.
    • Proper environmental factors.
  • So, if the bugs are on our skin, in our GI tracts and up our noses, what constitutes an infection?
A reasonable working definition might be this:
  • An infection results when a microbial agent causes disease or injury in the course of its growth, cellular metabolism or reproduction .
  

 
I think I can deal with this, bring it on.
