Harmful bacteria that cause infections can come from many sources including soil, freshwater, seawater, animals, other people or fomites. They can gain access to our bodies in many ways including open wounds, ingestion, sexual intercourse, blood transfer, inhalation or direct contact on skin/mucous membranes.
