Infectious Disease (ID): Illness caused by pathogens such as viruses, bacteria, fungi, protozoa, parasites, or infectious proteins (prions). Transmitted via contact, ingestion, airborne droplets, or vectors.
Pathogen: Microorganism capable of causing disease; includes bacteria, viruses, fungi, protozoa, parasites, and prions.
Contagious (Communicable) Disease: Infectious diseases transmitted directly from person to person through contact, droplets, or vectors.
Empiric Therapy: Initial broad-spectrum antimicrobial treatment started before pathogen identification, guided by clinical judgment and local resistance patterns.
Antibiogram: A chart summarizing antimicrobial susceptibility data from isolates over a specific period, guiding empiric antibiotic selection.
Antibiotic Resistance: The ability of bacteria to grow in the presence of antibiotics that would normally inhibit or kill them, caused by intrinsic resistance, selection pressure, acquired resistance genes, or enzymatic degradation.
