If by bacterial infection you are including or meaning a yeast infection then yes. An infection like that can spread during sexual intercourse. It is easily treatable using topical creams prescribed by your doctor. The main reason they are transmitted is being the locations of the human body where these most likely take place are warm and moist. This warm moist area allows for the bacteria to grow at will. A yeast infection on the male will most likely cause red patches in the groin and cause severe itching.

The bacteria involved are normally present and you do not catch it so it really is not an infection although it is treated with certain antibiotics to restore the balance (and sometimes caused by others that disrupt it).Chlamydia is a sexually transmitted disease that you catch from having sex with an infected partner. Its symptoms can be similar to BV so the two conditions can be confused but you do not get one from the other.
