Bacterial STI’s
By Conor Barry
STI’s
• Sexually Transmitted Infections
• These are some of the most important
global health priorities because infants,
and women can be seriously affected by
them.
• There are 2 main categories of STI’s. They
are Bacterial STI’s and Viral STI’s.
Gonorrhea
• Nickname is, “the clap”
• It is a bacterium that grows in regions of the
body that are exposed to intercourse
• Cervix, uterus, urethra, and fallopian tubes are
the most common locations for the bacterium to
be found.
• Some cases of this infection have been found in
the anus, eyes, mouth and throat.
• Moist and warm locations are the most
accessible for the bacterium to grow.
Gonorrhea
Chlamydia
• This is spread through sexual contact
• In both men and women, the urethra is
usually effected in this infection
• When cases get bad enough, this can
spread to the cervix and sometimes even
more reproductive organs.
• This is one of the most common sexually
transmitted infections.
Chlamydia
Syphilis
• This is an infection that is spread from person to person
contact.
• The most common person to person contact is from
syphilis sores.
• These sores can be found in or on the mouth, vagina,
anus, and rectum.
• These sores can be passed from a mother to a child if
the mother has these sores when she gives birth.
• Rumor has it that syphilis can be spread by toilet seats,
doorknobs, swimming pools, hot tubs, bathtubs, shared
clothing, and eating utensils. These rumors are all
incorrect. This infection cannot be spread by any of
these forms of transmission.
Syphilis
Bacterial Vaginosis
• This is an infection where bad bacteria
spawns and it begins to take over the
good bacteria inside the vagina.
• This infection is usually accompanied by
itching, burning, vaginal discharge, and
occasionally and odor.
Bacterial Vaginosis
Nongonoccocal Urethritis
• This is an infection of the Urethra. More
specifically an inflammation of the Urethra
• An inflammation is a response of body tissues to
injury or irritation; characterized by pain and
swelling and redness and heat
• The Urethra, which, “is a tube which connects
the urinary bladder to the outside of the body.
The urethra has an excretory function in both
sexes to pass urine to the outside, and also a
reproductive function in the male, as a passage
for semen,” gets inflamed, and makes it painful
to pass urine.
Nongonoccocal Urethritis
Mycoplasma Genitalia
• Small parasite that gets into the
reproductive tract, and then lives there
• This parasite, as of now, has no known
role. Meaning that doctors and scientist
don’t specifically know what exactly it is in
the reproductive tract to do.
• This is mainly passed from person to
person by unprotected sex.
Mycoplasma Genitalia
Chancroid
• This is an infection that consists of sores that are
found on your genitalia
• These sores are usually excruciatingly painful
• Like most other sexually transmitted infections, it
is passed from sexual contact.
• This disease is usually found in countries that
are developing, and have sex workers working
commercially inside that country.
