Discuss the notion of infection in terms of microbiological populations and host conditions. 3-5 paragraphs minimum.
The microbial population is an individual microorganism form a
population. microbes enter into the human body by tissues through
mucosal surfaces within the body or outside of the body in the
epithelial surface. It can be direct or indirect. microorganisms
cause infection. it includes bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and
fungi. Infection develops in the body when the organism colonized a
host by entering the host's body, growing, and multiplying.
bacteria produce a special protein that colonies parts of the host
body. when uncontrolled growth of harmful microorganisms in the
host that cause infection.
Microorganisms enter into the host through mucosa through the oral
cavity, nose, eyes, genitals, and open wound. few microbes grow at
the initial site of entry and cause systemic infection. some
microbes grow in the host cells and others grow on body fluids. the
route of entry of pathogens and access to host regions and
particular organism and load of the initial inoculant, the immune
surface of the host being colonized. adhesions are bacterial
adherence to other cells as a type of virulence factor. that cause
infection that needs colonizing a new cost.
Individuals when they are weak, sick, poorly nourished with the
chronic disease they have more susceptibility to chronic infection.
any infection that causes disease when the host immune system us
weak or impaired. the risk of infection depends on the number of
endogenous sources. skin damage from the skin breakdown increases
the patient risk for infection, children, older age, and the
immune-compromised population they are more prone for getting an
infection. infection is an acquisition of a microbe by a host and
its multiplication in a host, thus some single organism that does
not replicate in the host.
