What are the main bacterial infectious diseases?

When it comes to some infectious diseases, everyone is very afraid, so the best attitude towards infectious diseases is to take preventive measures. To do this, you must understand the transmission routes of the disease. There are many ways of disease transmission, the most common ones include air transmission, sexual transmission, contact transmission, respiratory transmission, etc. Different diseases have different transmission methods, so what are the common bacterial infectious diseases?

What are the main bacterial infectious diseases?

There are 39 types of statutory infectious diseases in three categories.

There are two types of Class A diseases, including plague and cholera.

There are 26 Class B infectious diseases, including infectious atypical pneumonia, AIDS, viral hepatitis, poliomyelitis, human pathogenic avian influenza, influenza A (H1N1), measles, epidemic typhoid fever, rabies, epidemic encephalitis B, dengue fever, anthrax, bacterial and amoebic dysentery, pulmonary tuberculosis, typhoid and paratyphoid, epidemic meningitis, whooping cough, diphtheria, neonatal tetanus, scarlet fever, brucellosis, gonorrhea, leptospirosis, snow fluke disease, and malaria.

There are 11 Class C infectious diseases, including: influenza (flu), mumps, rubella, acute hemorrhagic conjunctivitis, leprosy, epidemic and endemic typhoid fever, kala-azar, echinococcosis, filariasis, infectious diarrhea other than cholera, bacterial and amebic dysentery, typhoid and paratyphoid, and hand, foot and mouth disease.

There are many types of infectious diseases in humans, which can be divided into four categories according to different transmission routes: respiratory infectious diseases, digestive tract infectious diseases, blood infectious diseases and surface infectious diseases.

1. Respiratory infectious diseases: Respiratory infectious diseases refer to infectious diseases caused by pathogens invading the respiratory mucosa, including influenza, diphtheria, whooping cough, scarlet fever, tuberculosis, mumps, measles, chickenpox and epidemic cerebrospinal meningitis.

2. Digestive tract infectious diseases: Digestive tract infectious diseases refer to infectious diseases caused by pathogens invading the digestive tract mucosa, including bacillary dysentery, hepatitis A, typhoid fever, ascariasis and pinworm disease.

3. Blood-borne diseases: Blood-borne diseases refer to infectious diseases caused by blood or arthropods (such as mosquitoes, lice, fleas, ticks, etc.), including AIDS, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, malaria, epidemic encephalitis B, kala-azar, filariasis and hemorrhagic fever.

4. Superficial infectious diseases: Superficial infectious diseases refer to infectious diseases caused by pathogens entering the human body through the skin due to direct or indirect contact with sick people or animals, or contact with soil or water containing pathogens. They are also called contact infectious diseases. They include rabies, anthrax, tetanus, schistosomiasis, trachoma, scabies and ringworm.
