Any organism of microscopic size.
Pathogen

- Very small living
organisms made of only
one cell. They are present
almost everywhere. While
some can cause diseases,
others are very helpful to
humans, like the bacteria
in the intestine that help
digestion and bacteria that
make yoghurt.

6. Cleaning
A method used to
reduce or eliminate dirt
from a surface, by using
detergent and water.
Using friction while
scrubbing will help
eliminate most germs,
as well as the dirt itself.

7. Routine Practices
– Steps an individual takes
to decrease their risk of
exposure to blood and body
fluids of others. Adhering to
Routine Practices protects
you and others from
spreading Bacteria/germs
from one person to another

8. A method used to
destroy micro-organisms
or pathogens by
cleansing.
reduces disease
causing bacteria on
surfaces or objects.
Sanitize

9. microorganism
smaller than bacteria,
which cannot grow or
reproduce on its own.
A virus invades a
living cell and uses it
to keep itself alive and
to reproduce. Viruses
cause many
infections,
Virus:

10. Communicable
diseases
can spread any place
where people interact,
particularly in public
service facilities. The best
way to control the spread
of disease is through
good health practices and
apply infection control
practices .

with Learning how to prevent
this mode of transmission we
have to educate people to
