Infectious Diseases, Prevention and Control

Infectious Diseases Caused by Bacteria

Bacterial Disease is a bacterial-caused sickness. The most common cause of mortality among the elderly is bacterial pneumonia. Enhanced sanitation, vaccinations, and medicines have all reduced bacterial infection death rates, while antibiotic-resistant strains have allowed some diseases to resurface. Tuberculosis is caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Several strains had evolved resistance to one or more of the most commonly used antibiotics.

Examples of Bacterial Infections:

1. Bacterial Meningitis
2. Pneumonia
3. Tuberculosis
4. Upper Respiratory Tract Infection
5. Gastritis and Urinary Tract Infections
6. Food Poisoning
7. Eye Infections
