Concepts in infectious disease (Outline)

Determinants

Agent	* Biofilm Germ theory of disease Infectivity Infectious dose Pathogenicity Attack rate Quorum sensing Virulence Endotoxin Exotoxin Case fatality rate factors Antimicrobial resistance Drug resistance Horizontal gene transfer Multidrug-resistant bacteria Host tropism
Host	* Burn Comorbidity Diabetes Host–pathogen interaction Immune response Immunodeficiency Immunosuppression Microbiome health Opportunistic infection Risk of infection Susceptible individual Age Gender Nutrition status Vaccination status Genetic predisposition Behavioral/lifestyle factors Smoking Pregnancy Stress levels
Environment	* Access to water, sanitation and hygiene Air quality Biodiversity loss Climate change Climate zones El Niño Tropical diseases Commerce Deforestation Ecology Humidity Injection drug use Natural disaster Flood Poultry and livestock Poverty Travel Urbanization Vector control War and conflict

Basic
concepts

* Asymptomatic carrier

Modes

Endogenous

* Endogenous overgrowth

Normal flora overgrowth
Endogenous reactivation
Microbial translocation
Endogenous seeding
Biofilm formation

Exogenous

* Spillover infection

Human-to-human
/Cross-infection

* Contagious disease
