The following information is about Infection.
Infection Defined
Invasion by and multiplication of microorganisms in body tissue resulting in disease. Infection is not synonymous with infectious disease; the result may be inapparent (see Inapparent infection) or manifest (see Infectious disease). The presence of living infectious agents on exterior surfaces of the body, or on articles of apparel or soiled articles, is not infection, but represents contamination of such surfaces and articles. (See Infestation and Contamination).
This definition is in context to Microbiology. See more contextual defintions for Infection.
Flu-fighting efforts focus
Published October 10, 2008, 10:29 pm, Santa Fe New Mexican

By all accounts, this year's influenza vaccine should be more successful than last year's only partly effective one. And it's too early to tell whether the flu this season will be especially widespread.
