Glossary Bacterial Infections

harmful bacteria invade and multiply, causing illness

Bacterial infections occur when harmful bacteria invade the body, multiply, and cause illness. These infections can affect various parts of the body, including the skin, lungs, and urinary tract, and can range from mild to severe. Common examples include strep throat, urinary tract infections, and bacterial pneumonia. Treatment typically involves antibiotics, which target and kill the bacteria causing the infection.
