In the human body, bacteria help keep the digestive tract working properly. Like viruses, however, bacteria can cause hundreds of illnesses. Some bacterial infections are common in childhood, such as strep throat and ear infections. Others cause major diseases, such as tuberculosis, plague, syphilis, and cholera.xamples include: 1  through contaminated water (cholera and typhoid fever). 2  through contaminated food (botulism, E coli food poisoning, salmonella food poisoning). 3  through sexual contact (syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia). 4  through the air, when infected people sneeze or cough (tuberculosis).
A Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) degree is a post-baccalaureate 3-4 year degree which may be conferred upon successful completion of a professional doctoral program.
The postprofessional DPT degree enables the US-licensed physical therapist (PT) to attain degree parity with PTs who hold the professional DPT by filling in  any gaps between their professional baccalaureate or master's degree PT education and current professional DPT degree education.
