Infection Control

4. An object such as a book, clothing and can harbor pathogens and serve as a transmission agent
12. Microbial community found on or in a healthy person
15. Originating in hospital infection not present before admittance develops 72 hrs after
17. Resulting from the activities of physicians
18. Health Care Associated Infection, infection acquired while being treated for another health issue
20. Disease producing microorganisms
21. Animal carrier transfers infective agent from host to host
22. Host that harbors pathogenic organism without injury to itself
24. Disease-causing microorganisms that may be present in human blood
25. Treatment of disease by chemical agents
26. Microscopic organisms of medical interest bacteria, virus, fungi, protozoa
27. Organisms whose cells have a true nucleus
29. Security against a particular disease
30. An animal or plant that harbors or nourishes another organism

1. Invasion of microorganisms in body tissue
2. Sterile technique to prevent contamination
3. Complete destruction of microorganisms
5. Chemicals used to free the environment from pathogenic organisms
6. Prokaryotic ubiquitous single-cell organisms
7. Killed microorganisms administered for the prevention
8. Cellular organisms that lack a true nucleus
9. Reduction in number of infectious agents decreases probability of infection
10. Simple unicellular organisms parasitic
11. Deviation from the normal function of the body exhibited by symptoms cause and prognosis
12. Group of eukaryotic protists, including mushrooms, yeasts, rust, molds, smuts
13. Freedom from infection
14. Occurring in two distinct forms
16. Prevents transmission of disease by body fluids
19. Complete viral particle capable of surviving in crystalform
23. Minute infectious agents must have host to survive
28. Stage in the life cycle of certain parasites during which they are enclosed in a protective wall
