Infectious Diseases

Bacteria are minuscule, unicellular organisms that live almost everywhere. Bacteria live in every climate and site on earth. Some are airborne while others sleep in water or soil. A bacterial infection may be a proliferation of a harmful strain of bacteria on or inside the body. Bacteria can infect any area of the body. Pneumonia, meningitis, and gastrointestinal disorder are just a couple of illnesses which will be caused by harmful bacteria. Bacteria can also be classified as gram-positive or gram-negative. Gram-positive bacteria have a thick cell membrane while gram-negative bacteria don't. Gram staining, bacterial culture with antibiotic sensitivity determination, and other tests like genetic analysis are wont to identify bacterial strains and help determine the acceptable course of treatment. The symptoms of a bacterial infection depend on the area of the body that is affected. Some of the bacterial diseases include:
