What are the main types of organisms responsible for infectious diseases?

Infectious diseases can be caused by:

Bacteria. These one-cell organisms are responsible for illnesses such as strep throat, urinary tract infections and tuberculosis.
Viruses. Even smaller than bacteria, viruses cause a multitude of diseases ranging from the common cold to AIDS.
Fungi.
Parasites.

What are the most common healthcare associated infections?

The four most common types of HAIs are related to invasive devices or surgical procedures and include:

Catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI)
Central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI)
Surgical site infection (SSI)
Ventilator-associated events (VAE)

What kind of infections are associated with medical devices?

However, medical devices are associated with a definitive risk of bacterial and fungal infections. Foreign body-related infections (FBRIs), particularly catheter-related infections, significantly contribute to the increasing problem of nosocomial infections.

Which is an example of a bacterial disease?

MRSA is a commonly observed examples of bacterial diseases and it generally appears in form of a tiny red bump or pimple on your skin and the area surrounded by it use to be warm, swollen, red and too sensitive to touch.
