what three things can break the chain of infection?
9785
No matter the germ, there are six points at which the chain can be broken and a germ can be stopped from infecting another person. The six links include: the infectious agent, reservoir, portal of exit, mode of transmission, portal of entry, and susceptible host.
422365
The link can be broken through hand washing, safe sex practices, or avoiding contact with infected individuals. Link number five is the portal of entry. Entry of the pathogen can take place in one of three ways: penetration, inhalation, or ingestion.

The pathogen The first link in the chain of infection is the infectious agent or pathogen which can take the form of: Viruses - such as Influenza A, shingles and Hepatitis. Bacteria - including Lyme disease and Leptospirosis. Fungi - for example Candidiasis and Aspergillosis.

The six links include: the infectious agent, reservoir, portal of exit, mode of transmission, portal of entry, and susceptible host. The way to stop germs from spreading is by interrupting this chain at any link.

Peptides (protein fragments) can punch holes in bacterial membranes or cross the membranes to disrupt bacterial processes. T-cells can kill cells infected by intracellular bacteria (ones that take up residence within cells).
