Contact Transmission most common mode of transmission (4 pts) y Direct Contact- person to person transfer of organism y Indirect contact when the susceptible person comes in contact with a contaminated object y Droplet Spread is a transmission through contact with respiratory secretions when infected person coughs, sneezes or talks. The organism is not suspended in the air but settles on a surface Ex. Hepatitis A, B, C, HIV/AIDS, Herpes simplex, Shigella, Staphylococcus, Pseudomonas, measles, Amoebiasis, Anthrax, Influenza, STDs, scarlet fever, whooping cough, Mononucleosis, Rabies (2 pts) b. Air-borne Transmission occurs when fine microbial particles or dust particles containing microbes remain suspended in the air for a prolonged period. The infectious disease is spread by air current and is inhaled by a susceptible host (2 pts) Ex. Anthrax, Tuberculosis, Varicella zoster (chickenpox), Legionellosis, Meningococcal disease, Pneumococcal infections, Meningitis, Mumps, small pox, Shingles (2pts) c.
