细菌感染对公众健康有很大影响。疾病可以发生在身体的任何部位，并且可以由生物体本身或身体对其存在的反应引起。细菌通过空气、水、食物或活媒介传播给人类。细菌感染的主要传播方式是接触、空气传播、飞沫传播、媒介传播和车辆传播。预防措施对发病率和死亡率有巨大影响。这些措施包括水处理、动物和人类免疫、个人卫生措施和安全性行为。细菌对抗生素的耐药性日益引起人们的关注，要求谨慎使用抗生素。
Bacterial infections have a large impact on public health. Disease can occur at any body site and can be caused by the organism itself or by the body's response to its presence. Bacteria are transmitted to humans through air, water, food, or living vectors. The principal modes of transmission of bacterial infection are contact, airborne, droplet, vectors, and vehicular. Preventive measures have a dramatic impact on morbidity and mortality. Such measures include water treatment, immunization of animals and humans, personal hygiene measures, and safer sex practices. Bacterial resistance to antibiotics is a growing concern mandating their prudent use.
