Disease/Condition Glossary
Bacterial infection: It is a condition in which harmful bacteria grow and infect the body. It can attack any part of the body and multiply rapidly. Bacteria are classified into three types based on their shape: spherical, rod-shaped, and spiral-shaped. Bacteria can be gram-positive (with thick cell walls) or gram-negative (with thin cell walls) (do not have cell walls). Appropriate tests are performed to identify bacterial strains, and appropriate medication is prescribed based on the results. Cough, fever, and tiredness are common bacterial infection symptoms.
