Cellular immunity
Inc WBC goes after foreign protein
25
Normal Flora
Body's Bacteria - aids in gi, limits growth of bad bacteria, synthesize vit k, b12, thiamine, and riboflavin
26
Factors that increase risk
``` Developmental stage Breaks in defense smoking substance abuse illness/injury environment medications procedures multi sex partners ```
27
different reservoirs
non-living- soil/water/food/surface living - animals/insects/humans carrier
