what is the 4th link in the chain of infection?
483411
The fourth link is the means of transmission. The pathogen can be transmitted either directly or indirectly. Direct transmission requires close association with the infected host, but not necessarily physical contact. Indirect transmission requires a vector, such as an animal or insect.

Multiplicity of infection (moi) = Plaque forming units (pfu) of virus used for infection / number of cells. For example, if 2x106 cells is infected by 50 ml of virus with a titer of 108 pfu/ml. The moi will be 0.05*108/2*106 = 2.5.

You can get the infection from: eating food prepared by someone with the infection who has not washed their hands properly or washed them in water contaminated with sewage. drinking contaminated water, including ice cubes. eating raw or undercooked shellfish from contaminated water.

The means of transmission is the weakest link in the chain of infection, and it is the only link we can hope to eliminate entirely. Most infection control efforts are aimed at preventing the transport of germs from the reservoir to the susceptible host.

DNA contains only four bases, called A, T, C and G. The sequence of the nucleotides along the backbone encodes genetic information. The four roles DNA plays are replication, encoding information, mutation/recombination and gene expression.

An illness begins with the chain of infection. The first step in this chain is a pathogen (such as a virus or bacterium) that lives in a reservoir. The reservoir may be a human, an animal, or part of the environment. The pathogen exits its reservoir and is transmitted toward the new host.

For a bloodborne pathogen to be spread, the bodily fluids of an infected person must enter into the bloodstream of another person. The most common cause of transmission in the workplace is when an infected person's blood enters another person's bloodstream through an open wound.

There are many different germs and infections inside and outside of the healthcare setting. Despite the variety of viruses and bacteria, germs spread from person to person through a common series of events. Therefore, to prevent germs from infecting more people, we must break the chain of infection.

Three things are necessary for an infection to occur: Source: Places where infectious agents (germs) live (e.g., sinks, surfaces, human skin) Susceptible Person with a way for germs to enter the body. Transmission: a way germs are moved to the susceptible persont.

The Chain of Infection A series of events has to happen to enable germs (when we speak of germs in this section, this refers to bacteria, fungi and viruses) to cause infections in a person. We call this the 'Chain of Infection'. We can think of each part of the process as a separate 'link' in the chain.
