can bacterial infection cause blood in stool
Chronâs disease is less likely to trigger mucus in the stool. The development of an anal fissure however is likely to trigger mucus in stool. Bacterial Infections. Shigella, Salmonella, Campylobacter, and Yersinia, are some of the bacterial infections, which may also cause mucus in the stool. Diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and fever may be caused by a bacterial infection, and as such these symptoms can help in the diagnosis of the condition.
