Nosocomial Infections Candidiasis remains the most common type of nosocomial fungal infection, particularly in the immunocompromised. Risk factors for fungal infections include antibiotic treatments, chemotherapy, intravascular catheters, neutropenia, hemodialysis, or prior fungal infection.

Zoonosis Major modern diseases such as Ebola virus disease and influenza are zoonoses. Zoonoses can be caused by a range of disease pathogens such as viruses, bacteria, fungi and parasites; of 1,415 pathogens known to infect humans, 61% were zoonotic.n direct zoonosis the disease is directly transmitted from animals to humans through media such as air (influenza) or through bites and saliva (Rabies). In contrast, transmission can also occur via an intermediate species (referred to as a vector), which carry the disease pathogen without getting infected.

Brief communicationNosocomial infections caused by Elizabethkingia meningoseptica: an emergent pathogen All infections caused by this pathogen were nosocomial, or healthcare associated infections, in hemodialysis settings whereas none was associated with hospital outbreaks. An increase of uncommon Gram-negative bacilli has occurred in the last decade in the nosocomial environment. E. meningoseptica is resistant to multiple antibiotics and has been previously described as a pathogen of neonatal meningitis and sepsis, 2 as well as a cause of infection among immunocompromised patients. 3 It causes significant morbidity and mortality rates may be as high as 50%. 2.

Clinical studyDeaths from nosocomial infections: Experience in a university hospital and a community hospital â COMMENTS Deaths due to nosocomial infections have not received much attention in the past [4,5]. At the first international conference on nosocomial infections held in 1970, the epidemiology of the infections was described in detail but little attention was paid to deaths associated with these infections [4].

Overview Disease Transmission Overview. Infectious diseases are those that are transmitted from person to person by direct or indirect contact. Viruses, bacteria, parasites, and fungi all cause infectious disease.Malaria, measles, and respiratory illnesses are examples of infectious diseases.nfectious diseases are most commonly transmitted through direct person-to-person contact. Transmission occurs when an infected person touches or exchanges body fluids with someone else. This can happen before a person is aware that they are ill.

Pathogens Types and Examples and How They Spread 1 Some of the most common examples of pathogens that spread through body fluids are hepatitis and HIV viruses.  Vectors: It's an animal that spreads disease-causing pathogens from one host to another. Common examples of vectors are houseflies that cause dysentery and mosquitoes that cause malaria.

Nosocomial Infections Nosocomial infections are common with estimates at about 10% of American hospital patients, or more than 2 million cases annually in the USA. Death rates may be 20,000 annually in the USA although some estimates are as high as 88,000 deaths. Cost estimates are as much as $4.5 billion in 1995.

- Several species, including Escherichia coli, are common causes of food–borne disease. Vibrio cholerae —the bacteria responsible for cholera—is a waterborne pathogen. Gram-negative bacteria can also cause respiratory infections, such as certain types of pneumonia, and sexually transmitted diseases, including gonorrhea.
