Impact of Infectious Diseases Infection control and prevention Resistant microorganisms Bloodborne pathogen transmission Increased immunosuppressed populations
Impact of Infectious Diseases Global access Effect infectious diseases have on lifestyles
The Process of Infection Caused by pathogenic microorganisms capable of causing disease Normal flora Similar steps occur in all infectious diseases Apply theory of disease growth and transmission
