- The colonization of a host by microbial species is called infection.
- An infecting microbe seeks to colonize and multiply within the host, causing harm to the host.
- For an organism to cause infection, it must be able to adhere to and invade host cells, avoid host defenses, and multiply within the host.
- Colonization of a host by microbial species is called infection.
- Bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites can cause infections.
