What is bacterial infestation?

Bacterial infestation refers to the presence and proliferation of harmful bacteria within a host organism, tissue, or environment, often leading to infection or disease. This can occur in various forms, such as localized infections, systemic infections, or contamination of surfaces and food. Symptoms and severity depend on the type of bacteria involved and the host's immune response. Effective treatment typically involves antibiotics or other antimicrobial therapies.
