A bacterial infection is a condition in which harmful bacteria grows in the body and causes infection. It can target any part of the body and multiple very quickly. Bacteria come in three basic shapes namely spherical, rod, or spiral-shaped. Bacteria may be gram-positive (have thick cell wall) or gram-negative (do not have cell wall). Appropriate tests are done to identify bacterial strains and based on the results, proper medication is prescribed. Some common symptoms of bacterial infection include cough, fever, and tiredness.
