Infective agents can be transmitted to people through various routes, including direct contact with infected individuals, airborne transmission via respiratory droplets, and vector-borne spread through insects like mosquitoes. They can also be transmitted through contaminated food and water, as well as through surfaces or objects that harbor pathogens. Additionally, sexual contact and blood transfusions are other potential means of transmission. Understanding these pathways is crucial for preventing the spread of infections.

How do infective agents be transmitted to a person?
Infective agents can be transferred to people through inhalation, absorption or injection. Infections are often spread through droplet transmission as found in a sneeze. They are also transferred through touch as germs are plentiful on the skin. Injection or medical procedures can also spread disease.
Explain how infective agents can be transmitted to a person?
Infective agents can be transmitted to a person through various routes, including direct contact with an infected individual, such as through skin-to-skin contact or respiratory droplets from coughing or sneezing. They can also spread indirectly via contaminated surfaces or objects, known as fomites, when a person touches these surfaces and then their face. Additionally, some agents are transmitted through vectors like insects, or through contaminated food and water, leading to infection. Lastly, sexual contact can also serve as a mode of transmission for certain pathogens.
Is saliva clean?
NO it can contain many infective agents.

How infective agents might enter the body?
An infective agent can enter the body through any opening. The mouth, nose, eyes, ears, and any sort of cut in the skin are all prime areas.

Can asepsi s be transmitted?
Sepsis cannot be transmitted because it is not contagious. However, there are some agents that are known to cause sepsis that can be transmitted from one person to another.

How are bacteria transmitted to organisms?
Transmission may involve fluid exchange or exposure to vectors contaminated by the infective agent. Vectors can be insects or other animals including humans.
What is infective endocarditis?
Infective endocarditis is an infection and inflammation of the inner layer, or membrane, of heart tissue (endocardium). Most people with a healthy, normal heart are not at significant risk
What age does infective endocarditis occur at?
Most cases of infective endocarditis occur in people between the ages of 15 and 60, with a median age at onset of about 50 years
