How do you keep bacteria from infecting you?

[Ayuba Ernest]

Infection with bacteria is a typical consequence of cardiac surgery. Fever, wound infection, sepsis, and even death are all possible side effects. During surgery, surgeons take numerous precautions to avoid bacteria infection, such as using sterile equipment and thoroughly washing their hands. Bacterial infection is usually detected by culturing the wound site or blood. Antibiotics and strong supportive care are frequently used in the treatment.

Bacteria is a microscopic organism that is found everywhere.

Bacteria can cause many diseases, such as strep throat, ear infections and sinusitis. Bacteria also can cause more serious diseases such as tuberculosis, typhoid fever and urinary tract infections. Some bacteria are even deadly (such as the one named Anthrax).

By practicing good hygiene and washing your hands often, you can reduce your risk of infection from bacteria.

Wash your hands after using the restroom, before eating or preparing food, when you come in from outside, after contact with animals, or when your hands are dirty.

If you are sick or have an open cut or wound, do not prepare food for others until the infection is treated.

Cover your mouth with a tissue when you cough to prevent bacteria from getting into the air and infecting others.

Avoid sharing items such as toothbrushes and eating utensils with others to prevent the spread of bacteria.

To properly wash your hands, you should use warm water and soap, scrubbing your hands together for 20 seconds. After that, rinse your hands with clean water and dry them using a paper towel if possible. If you're using hand sanitizer, make sure it contains at least 60% alcohol and follow the package directions carefully.

Although bacteria are available in our body and are also available in some of the food we eat , but however there are some bacterias that are harmless and they are not really causing any disease to our body. In fact there are so many of them that are really helping us to survive because they help in maintaining the normal metabolic activities in the body and so many other functions.

The ones that can really be dangerous to us at a disease-causing microorganism which does not only include bacterias but virus and others such as fungi , those are the ones we must avoid.


Just like the poster as stated , the most important thing we have to do to make sure we do not get in contact with most of these disease-causing organism is to try as much as possible to practice the act of washing our hands after engaging in some activities or coming back from public places.

Keeping our environment clean and constant use of sanitizers will really help in getting rid of some of these disease causing micro-organisms.

Proper food hygiene can also help to prevent bacteria that could even lead to food poisoning. Hygiene play a very important role here.
