![]() ![]() inhalation of aerosols dispersed from water sources 3 and.Modes of transmission for waterborne infections include Under favorable environmental circumstances (e.g., warm temperature and the presence of a source of nutrition), many bacterial and some protozoal microorganisms can either proliferate in active growth or remain for long periods in highly stable, environmentally resistant (yet infectious) forms. Moist environments and aqueous solutions in health-care settings have the potential to serve as reservoirs for waterborne microorganisms.
