Impetigo is a highly contagious infection caused by which bacteria?

Candida albicans
Streptococcus or staphylococcus
Psoriasis
Eczema

The correct answer is: Streptococcus or staphylococcus

Impetigo is a skin infection that is caused by bacteria, not a fungal infection such as Candida albicans (option A) or a skin disorder such as Psoriasis (option C) or Eczema (option D). Impetigo is specifically caused by the bacteria Streptococcus or Staphylococcus, which are both highly contagious. These bacteria can easily spread through skin-to-skin contact or contact with contaminated objects. Therefore, option B is the correct answer as it identifies the specific bacteria that causes impetigo.
