If someone is contaminated with a bacterium from the environment, are they guaranteed to develop a disease? O Yes, contamination precedes disease and only one microbe is needed for disease development. Yes, a contamination implies that the patient will develop an illness. O No, contamination is just the mere presence of microbes in or on the body. No, only non-living surfaces may be contaminated.
