Bacterial vaccines are a group of medical substances designed to protect the body from specific bacterial infections. Bacterial vaccines stimulate the body's immune system to recognize and fight specific bacteria, preventing the onset of related diseases. These bacterial diseases can range in severity and can be transmitted in several ways, including direct contact, through contaminated food or water, or via airborne droplets. Common symptoms may vary based on the specific bacterial infection, but typically include fever, fatigue, muscular pain, and in some cases, specific organ-related symptoms. The progression of the disease can also range from mild, acute episodes to severe, chronic conditions, affecting different systems in the body. The overall goal of bacterial vaccines is to prevent these infections and the harmful effects they can have on the body.
