a. person-to-person contact.
b. exposure to contaminated water.
c. inhalation of contaminated air.
d. close contact with animals.


D
The diversity of the habitats of the organisms in Chapter 24 is reflected in the various ways they are transmitted. Transmission of environmental isolates such as Achromobacter denitrificans frequently involves exposure of patients who are debilitated to contaminated fluids or medical solutions. In contrast, B. bronchiseptica transmission primarily occurs by close contact with an-imals.
