What Is a Bacterial Infection?
6. Types of Bacterial infections
The different types of bacterial infections are normally distinguished according to the part of the body they affect. As you would expect, bacterial skin infections affect the skin. From boils to impetigo, the symptoms can often be seen in the negative changes to the skin, such as swellings, blisters, and discoloration.
Intestinal bacterial infections are usually foodborne. This means the food and drink that is ingested is how harmful bacteria arrive at the gut. Abdominal pain, diarrhea, and vomiting are common symptoms. However, no matter the type of bacterial infection, there will almost always be the presence of generalized symptoms of fever, chills, and fatigue.
