Accepted Answer

It is still possible: Yes, it is still possible to get an infection from a new blade. I would just keep the cut clean and watch for any signs of infection such as: redness, pain, or swelling. If this happens, it is best to have it looked by a physician.

: Klebsiella is not an unusual bacteria but will probably require a different antibiotic for treatment. It has probably become more dominant because previous treatments have suppressed other bacteria (commonly E. coli).

Fungal: Buttock rash and jock itch are caused by fungi such as candida albicans.  Over the counter preparations might be useful.  Keeping the areas dry and aerated is helpful.  Cotton underwear is preferred to synthetic for these purposes.

Question 8

what might be the reason i keep getting bacteria infection two weeks after i got it cured?

Accepted Answer

Re-infection/Genetic: There are causes of recurrent bacterial infections, including reinfection, genetic predisposition, such as selected IgG deficiency, which predisposed individuals to encapsulated bacterial infection.  Individuals can also be exposed to other resistant organisms, or infection with other microbial organisms different from the initial infection.  Consult your physician is the first step.

Question 9

does bacteria infection cause damage to body tissues by also competing with body tissues for resources and nutrients?

Accepted Answer

Indirectly: This would be an indirect competition for the body's nutrients as it combats the damage done by bacteria and marshals resources to kill the bacteria which are invading tissues in the body. That is why the old adage of starving a fever is bad advice during a bacterial infection. You want to maintain a good nutritional status as you combat the infection.
