Bacterial infections occur when harmful bacteria multiply inside or on the body, overwhelming the immune system and causing illness or tissue damage.
Transmission can occur through direct contact (e.g., touching an infected person), indirect contact (e.g., contaminated surfaces), airborne droplets, contaminated food/water, or insect bites.
Symptoms vary widely depending on the infection's location and type of bacteria, but often include fever, pain, inflammation, fatigue, and specific signs related to the affected body part.
Bacterial infections are primarily treated with antibiotics, which kill or inhibit the growth of bacteria. The specific antibiotic choice depends on the type of bacteria and the infection's severity.
