What’s the difference between bacterial and viral infections?

Many infections in humans are primarily caused by either bacteria or viruses. Microorganisms with a single cell, bacteria are thought to be connected to plants by some scientists. Being among the most successful life forms on Earth, they live in a range of environments, from icy slopes to deserts. Certain bacteria are beneficial to our digestive system; they help break down food properly, for example, but other bacteria can lead to a range of diseases. These bacteria are known as pathogenic bacteria since they are the ones that cause sickness. Learn more about viral infections and bacterial diseases at IMC Hospital.
