What exactly is a bacterial infection? What are the risks?

13:00 , Peony Hirwani

A bacterial infection is a disease caused by microorganisms that invade tissue. Oftentimes, these dangerous bacteria are introduced into a body’s system through the consumption of contaminated food or drink. They can also enter through the nose, eyes, or cuts on the skin.

If left untreated, bacterial infections can put people at risk of developing sepsis, a life-threatening complication in which chemicals are released into the bloodstream to fight serious infections. It can rapidly lead to tissue damage, organ failure and death.
