Autogenous Infection Notes:
The meaning of prefix "auto" is self or within. This indicates that the infection is transmitted only within one's body and not from one person to another. An organism present in one part of the body may cause no harm to the body or remains "nonpathogenic" but when it is introduced in another part of the body, it can become pathogenic.
