Some of the most common bacterial infections include:
Salmonella is a type of infection often described as food poisoning. It causes severe stomach upset, diarrhea, and vomiting. Salmonella is caused by a non-typhoidal salmonellae bacteria found in the intestinal tracts of humans and other animals, and the most recognized method of infection is through undercooked poultry.
Escherichia coli (E. coli) causes gastrointestinal (GI) distress. The infection usually resolves on its own, but it can be severe or even fatal. E. Coli bacteria is commonly spread through contaminated food, including uncooked vegetables.
Tuberculosis is a highly contagious disease caused by the Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacteria. It most commonly causes a lung infection, and it rarely affects the brain.
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is an antibiotic-resistant bacteria that can be deadly, particularly in people who have compromised immune systems.
Clostridium difficile (C. diff) is a bacteria normally found in the intestine. It can cause GI illness when it overgrows due to antibiotic use or an impaired immune system.Bacterial pneumonia is a lung infection that can be caused by an array of different bacteria, including Streptococcus pneumoniae, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and others. These infections are typically spread through air particles from coughing or sneezing.
Bacterial vaginosis is an infection of the va**na which can cause itchiness, discharge, and painful urination. It is caused by an imbalance in the normal bacterial flora of the va**na.
