35. Gastro Intestinal / Fecal Oral Route Transmission by the fecal-oral route is the second most important mode of transmission after the respiratory tract excreted by the feces transmitted to the oral portal of entry through contaminated food contaminated water, milk, drinks hands flies Viruses with envelopes do not survive exposure to hydrochloric acid in the stomach, bile acids in the duodenum, salts and enzymes of the gut. Small enterovirus without envelope (Norwalk agent, rotavirus, polio and coxsackie are able to resist. HepatitisA and E are also transmitted by the fecal oral route.
60. Isolation requires special media (chocolate agar or Bordet-Gengou medium). The organism requires both the X and V factors for growth especially for initial isolation. B.pertussis Bordet-Gengou medium
