Hello ma'am and welcome.
A bacterial infection could be considered as one of the plausible causes but it is one of the least likely ones.
I would recommend a visit to your doctor for a speculum examination, bimanual examination, and a transvaginal ultrasound investigation to find the exact source/cause of bleeding. You have stated any other symptoms of an infection. Please do not discontinue the antibiotics either. While you are at the doctors please also request for a pregnancy test, a urine examination to look for infections and a blood investigation to check on hormone levels.
Hope this helps.
Best wishes.
