What bacteria causes H1N1?

Answer 1

Types:

There are actually three types of flu virus, known as A, B and C. Type A is the worst, as it is the type that causes flu pandemics every few years. Type B typically causes smaller influenza outbreaks that are usually localized. However, it can also be responsible for epidemics. The mildest flu virus is Type C and when it is contracted it only causes mild symptoms or none at all. According to MedicineNet, flu viruses are continually mutating to defeat the antibodies that a person develops after previous infections.

Causes:

Infections by a flu virus are typically caused by airborne transmission. An inflected person sneezes or coughs in the vicinity of others, giving the flu virus the opportunity to enter their bodies when they breathe droplets expelled by the carrier person. An influenza infection can also be caused by touching an object that was previously touched and infected by someone with the flu. This allows the virus to get on an uninfected person's hands. When he touches his eyes, nose, or mouth, it enters his body and he can become ill with typical symptoms like a headache, chills, a fever, sore throat, coughing, congestion and an aching body. Adults over age 50 are at a greater risk for contracting the flu, as are those with fragile immune systems.

Answer 2

Bacteria do not cause viral diseases like H1N1/09 flu.

Viruses are a separate type of sub-microscopic organism that cause disease in animals, people, and plants. The only relationship between viruses and bacteria is that they both can generate disease (and both can sometimes be beneficial to man as well). If one is ill with a virus, the stressed immune system may make the person more susceptible to other infections, such as bacterial infections, and vice versa if one is suffering from bacterial disease, then opportunistic viruses may take a foothold and add to the complications of the sick person...but one does not causethe other. It may only allow the opportunity or conditions to exist for infection by the other.
