Viruses: much smaller than bacteria and although they may survive outside the body for a time they can only grow inside cells of the body.

models of HPV 16 can be applied to other HPV groups as well.17 The principal route of transmission for HPV is skin to skin contact. Epidemiologic evidence shows that sexual behavior greatly influences the incidence and prevalence of HPV infections.18 To develop infection‚ infectious particles must find their way to cells in the basal layer of skin. Usually this access is provided through breaks in the stratified epithelium as a result of micro-abrasions or micro-traumas.

members of the genus Vibrio are Gram-negative‚ motile and most of the members have a single polar flagellum‚ when grown in liquid medium (Kaysner & DePaola‚ 2004).
