Bacterial, Fungal, and Parasitic Infections

Infectious diseases caused by bacteria, fungi, and parasites pose serious health risks worldwide, affecting millions of people each year. Bacterial, fungal, and parasitic infections can lead to a wide range of illnesses, from mild skin conditions to life-threatening systemic diseases. Bacterial infections, such as tuberculosis and pneumonia, often require antibiotic treatment, whereas fungal infections, like candidiasis and aspergillosis, can be challenging to treat due to emerging drug resistance. Parasitic infections, including malaria and leishmaniasis, frequently thrive in tropical regions and disproportionately impact underprivileged populations. As antimicrobial resistance continues to rise, research and innovation in diagnostics, treatment, and prevention strategies are crucial to managing these infections effectively.
