Flu is always caused a virus, not bacteria, so no flu epidemic will be due to a bacterial agent. This is true of the 1918 "Spanish Flu", it was caused by a virus.
The influenza virus that emerged in the United States in 1918, commonly known as the Spanish flu, had a devastating global impact, infecting about one-third of the world's population and resulting in an estimated 50 million deaths. It disproportionately affected young, healthy adults, unlike typical flu strains that primarily impact the elderly and very young. The pandemic overwhelmed healthcare systems and led to widespread social and economic disruption, ultimately shaping public health responses and pandemic preparedness in the years that followed.

Scientists used preserved lung tissue samples from victims of the 1918 influenza pandemic to isolate and identify the virus responsible. They also compared genetic material from these samples to influenza viruses that circulated in animals at the time, helping to pinpoint the origin of the virus. Additionally, historical records and clinical symptoms helped researchers understand the impact and characteristics of the 1918 virus.
