Solution

“The infection of tissue or organs depends on the entry point of microbes”. This statement signifies:

  1. The infection depends on the entry of microbes or pathogens since that determines which organs or tissues are the target point of infection.
  2. For instance, in fungal infections, the fungi enter through the skin tissue and grow on and below the epidermis causing skin rashes.
  3. In some instances like typhoid, the bacterial pathogens enter through the mouth, travel through the gut, and affect the intestine.

Thus, the entry points and the areas that the infectious microbes come in contact with are the ones that are affected.
