Across
- 2. A type of infection that is part of the normal flora of the human GI system transmitted by direct and indirect contact. This infection is also naturally resistant to many types of antibiotics and are typically treated with vancomycin.
- 3. A type of bacterial infection that is transmitted primarily via respiratory (droplets), are part of the normal flora of the mouth, skin, intestine and upper respiratory tract of humans that secretes toxins that destroy cells. A common infection type is cellulitis.
- 5. Disease This disorder is the most prevalent vector-borne infectious disease and manifests as erythema migrans often bull's-eye in shape.
- 7. A type of bacterial infection that is transmitted via contact with colonized surfaces including skin, mucous membranes, open wounds, and clothing, bedding or other surfaces
- 10. An infection of the blood; pathogens proliferating and spreading through the circulation (can be fatal for even healthy individuals)
- 11. Transmission of infection where a small microorganisms can be propelled by sneeze or cough
- 13. Bacteria, viruses, mycoplasmas, rickettsiae, chlamydiae, fungi, protozoa, and prions are examples of
- 15. Transmission of infection through an insect/animal
- 16. disease Frequent cause of hospital admission and significant cause of death in the young and elderly
Down
- 1. A type of infection that is transmitted by direct or indirect contact, thrives in moist environments, and can manifest as pneumonia.
- 4. A type of infection that is characterized by inflammation of dermis related to acute infection that does not involve the fascia or muscles and is not necrotizing. Most commonly caused by infection with Staphylococcus aureus after local skin injury.
- 6. Acquired Infection The majority of these infections spread via catheterization and injection into the bloodstream
- 8. Difficile A type of bacterial infection that causes GI dysfunction, inflammation, and is the #1 hospital acquired infection. This infection is characterized by heat-resistant spores that can persist in the environment for several months to years.
- 9. This virus is opportunist in nature and primary infection (exposure) is followed by a latent infection. Transmission depends on family of the virus. It can be transmitted by direct contact with body fluids/skin, respiratory droplet (face to face) or direct contact through saliva/blood.
- 12. There are 5 different strains identified with this virus. It is a bloodborne pathogen and one strain is considered a sexually transmitted disease. Long-term infections are a major cause of cirrhosis, liver failure, and death.
- 14. An infectious inflammatory disease that affects primarily the lungs and is transmitted by respiratory airborne transmission but can also be transmitted from mother to fetus. This also remains latent/dormant in the leukocytes (WBC).
