Give the reason WHY INFECTION DOES NOT ALWAYS RESULT TO DISEASE?
* The microbe may land at an anatomical site where it is unable to multiply.
• If microbes land at a site where specific receptor sites are absent, they are unable to cause disease.
• Antibacterial factors may be present.
• The indigenous microbiota of that site may inhibit growth of the foreign microbes.
• The individual's nutritional and overall health status often influences the outcome of the pathogen-host encounter.
• The person may be immune to that particular pathogen.
• WBCs may engulf or destroy the pathogen.
