Do you think that it is correct that the blood has no microbiota?
YOU CAN MAKE A CASE EITHER WAY. This is a question where I just want you to think and make an
argument for or against the statement in the book that the blood has no microbes.
My professor instructed me to make presentation on this topic "Periodontal microbes interaction with FISH". I have to make 4 power point slides regarding this topic. Can you give some information about the topic which i can use in the slides? Also provide some necessary relevant diagram or image regarding the topic. Please answer at your own easy words. If you do so i will rate you positive, Thank you.

What can hospital personnel do to reduce the spread of these pathogens? My answer was this one: To reduce the spread of these pathogens an infection control protocol should be followed. Some ways in which this could be reduced is by using desinfectants, sterilization, hand washing, and disposing techniques. In addition, I currently work as a dental assistant at Jackson Main and the protocol we use is hand washing our hands for at least 20 seconds before and after seeing every patient. We use CaviWipes to disinfect every surface and autoclave every single instrument after every use.
