A bacterial infection is a proliferation of a harmful strain of bacteria on or inside the body. Bacteria can infect any area of the body. Pneumonia, meningitis, and food poisoning are just a few illnesses that may be caused by harmful bacteria. Bacteria come in three basic shapes: rod-shape...
Prevention is the better way to avoid the infection because of the generation of antibiotic-resistant strains.\n## 2 Bacterial infections and mechanism of pathogenesis\nBacterial infection refers to the invasion of bacteria into the body, which multiply and cause harm to the host. Pathogenicity ...
The toxin spreads radially from the point of infection and results in the formation of the chlorotic halo, which consists of a zone of cells free of bacteria surrounding the bacteria-containing spot. Variants of the bacterium that do not produce tabtoxin produce a similar disease without halos,...
SummaryTwo types of bacteria with common morphological properties and related antigenic structure have been isolated from aborted cow fetuses and placentas and from the uterus of cows with endometritis or sterility. One was related to members of the Mima group and the other was considered to be a...

Prosthetic joint infection is a severe complication of arthroplasties, requiring effective prevention and osteoinduction strategies. Here, a bilayer coating system with antibiotics for infection prevention and dipyridamole for osteointegration showed significant infection reduction and enhanced bone mineralization. ...
If you have a bacterial infection, it will probably clear up in a week or two with antibiotic treatment. It's important to take all of your medication even if you start to feel better, otherwise, the bacteria might come back. How long a viral infection lasts depends on what type of vir...
What is an anaerobic bacterial infection? Bacteria: Bacteria are the most free-living organisms and were among the first form of life to form and exist on earth. The organism contains one cell and has very few micrometers in length. There are several types of bacteria, including spherical, ...
Pyelonephritis, an inflammation of the kidney, can be caused by bacteria that have spread from other parts of the urinary tract (such as the bladder). In addition,pyelonephritiscan develop from bacteria that travel through the bloodstream to the kidney. When the infection spreads from the lower ...
Different types of bacteria spread in different ways; the exact cause of spread is dependent on the type of bacteria.7 Sexually Transmitted Bacterial Infections Unhealthy bacteria thrive in warm, moist environments, which is why the genitals, eyes, mouth, and anus are so commonly prone to infect...
