Antibiotics and Antibiotic Resistance

Infectious Diseases

Infectious diseases are illnesses caused by pathogenic microorganisms such as viruses, bacteria, parasites, or fungi that can be transmitted from one person to another either directly or indirectly (vector-borne). The invasion of disease-causing pathogens into an organism's body tissues, their growth, and the host tissues' response to the infectious agents and the toxins they produce are all considered to be infections. A condition brought on by an infection is referred to as an infectious disease, often known as a transmissible or communicable sickness. There are many different pathogens that can cause infections, but bacteria and viruses are the most prevalent ones. Hosts' immune systems can aid in their ability to combat disease. The medical specialty that deals with infections is referred to as infectious disease.
