Bacterial infection: A bacterial infection is a condition in which harmful bacteria enter, multiply, and infect the body. It can target any body part and multiply very quickly. Generalised symptoms of bacterial infection include fever, chills, and fatigue. Anyone can become infected with a bacterial infection. However, people with a weak immune system or taking immunosuppressive medicines are more prone to bacterial infection.
