Bacteria are micro-oragnisms that are found everywhere in the world. You find them on work surfaces, door handles, toilet sinks and even people are covered from head to toe in bacteria.But not all bacteria cause infection or disease, some are harmless. A disease caused by bacteria is generally called an infection, and there is lots of different types of infections. The effect a bacterial infection has on a person depends on a lot of factor, for example
