Takeaways

• 😀 Tuberculosis is transmitted through inhalation of respiratory droplets from an infected person. Symptoms include persistent cough, fever, weight loss, fatigue, and night sweats. Prevention involves vaccination, avoiding close contact, and respiratory hygiene.
• 😀 Salmonella infection is contracted through consumption of contaminated food, especially meat, eggs, and dairy, or direct contact with infected animals. Symptoms include abdominal pain, diarrhea, fever, nausea, and vomiting. Prevention includes cooking food thoroughly, washing hands and utensils, and practicing good hygiene.
• 😀 Cholera is spread through the ingestion of water or food contaminated with human feces. Symptoms include severe watery diarrhea, vomiting, and rapid dehydration. Prevention includes good hygiene, access to clean drinking water, proper sanitation, and vaccination.
• 😀 Pneumococcal pneumonia is transmitted via airborne particles and close contact with respiratory secretions of infected people. Symptoms include cough, fever, shortness of breath, chest pain, and fatigue. Prevention involves vaccination and respiratory hygiene.
• 😀 Gonorrhea is transmitted through unprotected sexual contact. Symptoms include painful urination, genital discharge, abdominal pain, and vaginal bleeding in women. Prevention includes using condoms, regular STI testing, and immediate treatment.
• 😀 Bacterial meningitis is transmitted through respiratory droplets from infected individuals. Symptoms include neck stiffness, severe headache, fever, and mental confusion. Prevention involves vaccination, good hygiene, and avoiding close contact with infected individuals.
• 😀 Tetanus is caused by bacteria found in soil, dust, and animal feces, typically entering through cuts or wounds. Symptoms include muscle stiffness, spasms, difficulty swallowing, fever, and sweating. Prevention relies on vaccination and proper wound care.
• 😀 Syphilis is primarily transmitted through sexual contact but can also be passed from mother to child during pregnancy. Symptoms progress through stages, starting with genital ulcers, followed by skin rashes, fever, and swollen lymph nodes. Prevention includes using condoms and early antibiotic treatment.
• 😀 Diphtheria is transmitted through respiratory droplets from coughing or sneezing and close contact with infected nasal secretions. Symptoms include sore throat, fever, weakness, and a thick membrane in the throat that can block breathing. Prevention is through vaccination.
• 😀 The prevention of these bacterial diseases is crucial to reduce their incidence. Vaccination, proper hygiene, avoiding close contact with infected individuals, and prompt medical treatment are essential to prevent and manage these infections.
