Which of the following is an example of an airborne pathogen?
- ARotavirus輪狀病毒
- BInfluenza virus流感病毒
- CStaphylococcus aureus金黃色葡萄球菌
- DMycobacterium tuberculosis✓ 正解結核分枝桿菌
— Explanation · 中文詳解 —
結核分枝桿菌（M. tuberculosis）以飛沫核的形式懸浮於空氣中，顆粒極小，能傳播至遠處並停留數小時。因此，肺結核病患需安置於空氣隔離病房。流感為飛沫傳播，葡萄球菌多為接觸傳播，輪狀病毒多為糞口傳播。
Mycobacterium tuberculosis is transmitted via airborne particles called droplet nuclei, which can remain suspended in the air for extended periods and travel long distances. This distinguishes it from influenza (droplet transmission), Staphylococcus aureus (contact transmission), and rotavirus (fecal-oral transmission), requiring specific airborne precautions for infection control.
