To cause disease, pathogenic bacteria must gain access into the body. The range of access routes for bacteria includes:
Cuts
Contaminated food or water
Close contact with an infected person
Contact with the faeces of an infected person
Breathing in the exhaled droplets when an infected person coughs or sneezes
Indirectly, by touching contaminated surfaces – such as taps, toilet handles, toys and nappies.
Viruses are spread from one person to another by:
Coughs
Sneezes
Vomits
Bites from infected animals or insects
Exposure to infected bodily fluids through activities such as sexual intercourse or sharing hypodermic needles.
Forgetting to wash your hands after handling pets and animals is another way for germs to be taken in by mouth.
