A member asked:
When you have a bacterial infection, say gonorrhea, does that mean you're infected with a single bacterium or many bacteria?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below : You would usually be infected with only one strain of a bacterial species but thousands or millions of individual bacteria cells would be present at the site of infection.
