Microbial transmission refers to the process by which microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi, are spread from one individual or environment to another. This can occur through direct contact, such as person-to-person transmission through bodily fluids or respiratory droplets, or indirectly through contaminated surfaces or objects. Understanding microbial transmission is crucial in preventing the spread of infectious diseases and designing effective interventions to control outbreaks. Research in this area often focuses on identifying the sources of transmission, the mechanisms by which microorganisms are spread, and developing strategies to break the chain of transmission.
