Best Answer

Bacteria or viruses can be spread through coughing or sneezing from a sick person, shaking hands with or touching a sick person, or just hanging around a sick person too much. Bacteria can get in your nose and eyes, and cause you to be sick.

Bacteria such as decomposers and flesh-eating bacteria can eat animals. Feeding on both predators and preys of other animals, bacteria live and multiply. Moreover, bacteria travel through feces, eating, drinking, swimming in some waters, etc. It is very well possible that the bacteria can travel from prey to predator in effect entering the body being consumed or "eaten" by the organism (such as the predator) in the food chain and even consume the predator. Acting as decomposers, bacteria continue the cycle by breaking down components of dead bodies as well.

A urinary tract infection is caused when bacteria gets into your bladder by the urethra. This bacteria can then travel up the ureters into the kidneys causing pylonephritis (kidney infection).
