Cohorting
practice of grouping patients who are colonized or infected with the same
infectious agent together to confine their care to one area and prevent contact
with susceptible patients (cohorting patients). During outbreaks, healthcare
personnel may be assigned to a cohort of patients to further limit opportunities
for transmission (cohorting staff).

A small drop, such as a particle of moisture discharged from the mouth during
coughing, sneezing, or speaking; these may transmit infections while airborne
to others. Respiratory droplets carrying infectious pathogens transmit infection
when they travel directly from the respiratory tract of the infectious individual
to susceptible mucosal surfaces of the recipient, generally over short
distances.
