Numerous pathogenic bacteria are found in seawater. They can cause several environmental infections, such as conjunctivitis, otitis externa, wound infections, pneumonia, and gastrointestinal illness. The incidence of some of these infections could be lowered if people took care to avoid eating undercooked seafood, swimming in brackish water, or sustaining lacerations in a marine environment. However, such infections will probably increase in frequency as more people visit ocean resorts. Prompt elimination of the infective agent, adequate wound care, and avoidance of reexposure can minimize the severity of the condition.
海水中发现有许多病原菌。它们可引发多种环境感染，如结膜炎、外耳道炎、伤口感染、肺炎和胃肠道疾病。如果人们注意避免食用未煮熟的海鲜、在微咸水中游泳或在海洋环境中受伤，其中一些感染的发生率可能会降低。然而，随着越来越多的人前往海滨度假胜地，此类感染的频率可能会增加。及时清除感染源、进行充分的伤口护理以及避免再次接触可将病情的严重程度降至最低。
