microbiology; emerging infectious diseases

nosocomial infections/healthcare-associated infections

acquired while in a healthcare facility, results from microbes in environments, weakens host status, or chain of transmission

emerging infectious disease contributing factors

genetic recombination, evolution of new strains, widespread use of antibiotics, changes in weather patterns, modern transportation, ecological disaster, animal control measures, public health failure

compromised host

disease, therapy, burns

genetic recombination

e. coli and avian influenza

evolutions of new strains

SARS-Cov2, Vibrio cholerae

widespread use of antitbiotics

antibiotic-resistant strains

changes in weather patterns

mosquito vector pathogens

modern transportation

SARS-Cov2, Chikungunya & West, Nile viruses

ecological disaster war, and expanding human settlement

cholera, coccidioidomycosis, Acinetobacter, Hantavirus

animal control measures

SARS-Cov2, Lyme disease, rabies

public health failure
