Global Pharma Medline: Understand and Protect against Bacteria, Viruses and Infection - Global Pharma

Germs can be everywhere and anywhere. From food, plants, animals, any other surfaces and including our own body. Most germs are harmless because our immune system is able to protect us against most of the infectious agents.

Nonetheless, there are still some infectious agents that can breach our immune system’s active defences. To protect against them, we need to understand the common categories of infectious agents.

This article will help the general public to understand these infectious agents better and measures that can be taken to protect ourselves against them.

Bacteria:
Bacteria are generally single-celled organisms that are visible through a microscope. In the world of bacteria, there are the good ones which are helpful to our body and the bad ones which contain a large number of toxins that can damage tissues, cause diseases and sicknesses.

Viruses:
Unlike bacteria, viruses are smaller cells or capsules that contain genetic materials. In order for viruses to multiply, viruses invade the cells in our body, seize control of the host cells and destroy them. This further lowers our immune system, causing our body to catch infectious diseases.

To protect against bacteria and viruses, Global Pharma Medline highly recommends some of the following measures:

1. Maintaining Good Hygiene is the Key Essential Measure Against Infectious Agents

The ultimate first line of defence to keep the infectious agents at bay is to maintain proper hygiene practices such as:
– Washing your hands well
Washing your hands religiously before and after handling food, waste materials and other daily tasks that require interaction with dirt, sick patients and animals can help to prevent bacteria or viruses from entering our body.
Global Pharma Medline recommends using antiseptic hand wash and hand sanitizer for effective protection against bacteria, viruses and infections:
