No, a bacterial infection is caused by a bacteria and therefore can be easily cured with medicine and is sometimes communicable (can be caught), whereas a viral infection is caused by a virus and is always communicable. A virus cannot be cured but only the symptoms can be treated, major virus' are usually prevented by a vaccine which is a dead or weakened strain of the virus injected into the blood stream allowing the immune system to recognize the virus if it were ever to unintentionally enter the body.

Is Meningitis caused by a bacteria or a virus?
Meningitis is an inflammation of the meninges, a protective coating in your body that defends your spinal nerves and brain. The inflammation is caused when some infection attacks the meninges. Meningitis is generally sorted into two main types: Bacterial and Viral. The difference, of course, being that one is caused by a bacterial infection, and one is caused by a viral infection. There aren't really any infections that specifically cause meningitis. It's normally caused by some other infection that works its way into the meninges. However, meningitis can also be caused by various fungi, parasites, allergies to drugs, chemicals, and tumors. Though these are much less common than the bacterial and viral variants.
