The "Patient Zero" in this case is a crazy psion who is most likely killing people then raising their corpses in various forms. Nobody's been bitten then turned, the zombies just showed up and forced the survivors to hole up somewhere. There's no evidence that people can turn into a zombie without dying first. Also, we've seen that at least one zombie is controlled by the psion, which implies that the others are indirectly controlled at the very least.
So. No contagion, no galaxy-rending outbreak. Calling this a threat to the galaxy would be ridiculous even if it WAS spread by bites or whatever, because any trained military squad would be able to easily take on these zombies. They are vulnerable to bullets and aren't even faster or stronger than normal. The only galaxy-threatening zombie plagues would be airborne and produce smart zombies that aren't immediately obvious as zombies so they can infiltrate security and further spread the plague. They'd have to be physically superior in some way just to turn a profit off of killing people, too.
Oh, and don't bring up necromorphs, they aren't zombies.
