Hello and thank you for your question. We do not really understand why some people get this infection and other do not. It is transmittable through saliva. I do not think your animals can get it but you can protect your family by good good hand washing, dish washing and not exposing them to saliva or other body fluids until you are treated. The Mayo Clinic has very good information about this infection. Here is a link:
