In this case, the patient has to be moved into an isolated room or into a private room. Vancomycin resistant-enterococci are said to develop a resistance against vancomycin. Enterococci normally live in our skins and intestines as normal flora, therefore it does not cause any problems. In patients who are immunocompromised, they are more likely to be affected by these organisms which commonly infect the intestines, urinary tract infection and wounds. These bacteria are said the be difficult to treat with since there are lesser antibiotics who have greater strength compared to vancomycin.

Infection occurs when the host is exposed to pathogens. what type of pathogen uses the cell's metabolism, and replicates itself
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer: Infection occurs when the host is exposed to pathogens. virus uses the cell's metabolism, and replicates itself while destroying the cell or changing the cell's genetic makeup.

Explanation:

  • A virus is a miniscule pocket of protein that contains genetic material.
  • Viruses pose a considerable challenge to the body’s immune system because they hide inside cells.
  • This makes it difficult for antibodies to reach them. Some special immune system cells, called T-lymphocytes, can recognise and kill cells containing viruses, since the surface of infected cells is changed when the virus begins to multiply.
  • Many viruses, when released from infected cells, will be effectively knocked out by antibodies that have been produced in response to infection or previous immunisation.
  • Antibiotics are useless against viral infections.  So antiviral drugs work differently to antibiotics, by interfering with the viral enzymes instead.

Hence virus are the pathogen that use the cell's metabolism. And replicate itself while destroying the cell or changing the cell's genetic makeup. viruses are so simple that they use their host cells to perform their activities for them
