PBS - Unit 3.1

immunity that is present only after exposure and is highly specific.

the body produces its own antibodies against disease-causing antigens.

block pathogens from entering cells, prevent bacteria from ingesting nutrients, binding toxins

stimulates an immune response

vaccine

a disease in which the immune system attacks the organism's own cells

produce antibodies

rod shaped

infectious agent, reservoir, portal of exit, mode of transmission, portal of entry, susceptible host

round

UTI, pneumonia, gastrointestinal infections, bloodstream infections, skin and soft tissue infections

receive call, gather initial info, invited to site, gather data on site, analyze info, provide recommendations, facility implements control measures, review and make necessary adjustments

immunity in most of a population

organism on which another organism lives

inhaling particles, touching infected object, bitten by infected insect
