Study Notes
Portals of Entry and Exit for Pathogens
- Skin and wound infections serve as portals of exit for pathogens.
- Examples of skin infections that transmit pathogens include yaws, impetigo, ringworm, herpes simplex, and warts.
Portals of Entry for Pathogens
- The skin is a portal of entry for pathogens.
- Mucous membranes are a portal of entry for pathogens.
- The parenteral route, which involves direct deposition beneath the skin or membranes, is a portal of entry for pathogens.
- Openings in the skin, such as hair follicles and sweat gland ducts, provide access to the body for some microbes.
