infection of GI, GU and resp tract are usaully caused by organisms that are what compared to skin infections

A

GI, GU, Resp tract infections are more virulent infections

47
Q

Transduction in bacteria genetic exchange

A

utilizing bacteriophages
virulent = general transduction (incorporating bact DNA)
