Some bacteria can only make one particular host ill; others cause trouble in a number of hosts, depending on the host specificity of the bacteria. The diseases caused by bacteria are almost as diverse as the bugs themselves and include food poisoning, tooth ache anthrax, even certain forms of cancer.

Infections are caused by bacteria, which can be airborne or blood-borne, or from viruses, which are typically airborne or by contact with a carrier or fomite. (A fomite is an object upon which viruses or bacteria can live for a short period of time.)Depending on the disease it can be caused by any of the following types of infectious organisms: bacteria, fungi, protozoa, parasites, rickettsia, viruses. It is also believed that certain types of defective proteins called prions, although they are not organisms, are the cause of some infectious diseases.
