The chain of infection refers to the interactive process by which infections are transmitted from a source to a susceptible host. It involves six key components: the infectious agent, reservoir, portal of exit, mode of transmission, portal of entry, and susceptible host. Understanding and interrupting the chain of infection is critical in preventing the spread of infection.
