Through microbes you breath in then the microbes settle and grow into fungus
Let us be correct and call these bacteria and/or virus or microbes. They each can be transmitted through direct contact, indirect contact or through the air. Direct contact includes touching with bare skin. Indirect contact is by leaving the microbes on a surface for someone else to pick up.
Puss is made of small microbes found in the upper layers of your skin. These microbes cause various forms of skin cancer if not treated. Puss, which can usually found in acne, can be a sign of an early death related to cancerous skin cells.
Microbes are mostly transporter through the air. They can be aerosolized into bioaerosols and carried to and deposited into different environments.
through multiplying in your tissue
Not all microbes are harmful. Some are quite helpful. As humans, we actually have microbes in our bodies and on our skin that work to keep us from getting certain diseases.
Soap microbiology would focus on both the efficiency of particular soaps to remove microbes from the skin or other surfaces and the prevention of growth of microbes within soap.
