Summary Introduction

Infection may take place when microbes enter a host and compete for nutritional resources. Microbes need a suitable environment to live in. Whether it can be outside or inside the host cells, depends on the pathogenic organism. Microorganisms are classified into two types, extracellular or intracellular pathogens, based on their presence whether inside or outside the host.
