There are two main types of infections, localized and systemic. A localized infection is limited to a specific location in the body. It has local symptoms, which are near the site of infection. For example, if the eye becomes infected, the area around it might be red, swollen, painful, and warm to the touch. A systemic infection OCcurs when pathogens enter the bloodstream throughout the body. It causes gen- live in and on the body and do not cause harm tance to the antibiotic vancomycin.

A special type of infection that can be localized or systemic is a healthcare-associated infec- tion (HAI), A healthcare-associated infection is an infection acquired within a healthcare setting during the delivery of medical care.
