Toxigenesis, or the ability to produce toxins, is an underlying mechanism by which many bacterial pathogens produce disease. Examples of this are: Corynebacterium diphtheriae, Clostridium tetani, Clostridium perfringens and Streptococcus pyogenes.
There is no specific percentage of bacteria that will make you sick as it varies depending on the type of bacteria, your immune system, and other factors. In general, a high concentration of harmful bacteria is more likely to cause illness, but even a small amount of some bacteria can make you sick if they are pathogenic. It is important to practice good hygiene and food safety to minimize the risk of bacterial infections.
Bacteria can be attacked by viruses known as bacteriophages. The bacteriophage may cause the bacterium to lyse (split open) effectivly killing the bacteria. Sometimes the bacteriophage places its DNA onto the bacteria's DNA (lysogeny) this would make the bacteria reproduce more slowly and could cause the bacteria other problems depending where the bacteriophage's DNA was placed. So, I suppose bacteria can get viruses and get sick or even die.
Bacteria are living things that have only one cell. Under a microscope, they look like balls, rods, or spirals. They are so small that a line of 1,000 could fit across a pencil eraser. Most bacteria won't hurt you - less than 1 percent of the different types make people sick. Many are helpful. Some bacteria help to digest food, destroy disease-causing cells, and give the body needed vitamins. Bacteria are also used in making healthy foods like yogurt and cheese.But infectious bacteria can make you ill. They reproduce quickly in your body. Many give off chemicals called toxins, which can damage tissue and make you sick. Examples of bacteria that cause infections include Streptococcus, Staphylococcus, and E. coli.Antibiotics are the usual treatment. When you take antibiotics, follow the directions carefully. Each time you take antibiotics, you increase the chances that bacteria in your body will learn to resist them causing antibiotic resistance. Later, you could get or spread an infection that those antibiotics cannot cure.
Microbes that make you sick are often referred to as pathogens or harmful bacteria. These microorganisms can cause infections or diseases in the human body.
Salmonella is a type of bacteria that can cause food poisoning and make you sick. It is commonly found in raw or undercooked poultry, eggs, and unpasteurized dairy products. Symptoms of Salmonella infection include diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps.
E.coli makes a toxin called ,Shiga toxin and is known as Shiga toxin-producing .coli (STEC)
BACTERIA release harmful toxins. VIRUSES take over your cells completely and make copies of themselves! : )
Infectious bacteria can make people sick. They are able to reproduce quickly in the body, giving off chemicals called toxins. These toxins are able to damage tissue also.
yes you can their saliva contains deadly toxins and bacteria which will lead an attack on the central nervous system
Yes, some bacteria can produce and release toxins that are harmful to human cells and tissues. These toxins can cause damage by disrupting normal cellular functions, leading to various health issues and diseases. Examples of bacteria that produce toxins harmful to humans include Clostridium botulinum (causes botulism) and Escherichia coli (can produce Shiga toxin).
Bacteria can make you sick by entering your body and "attacking" you. In response, your body heats up in attempt to "fry" the bacteria.
Yes, but the toxins it has produced will remain and make you sick.
some bacteria produce toxins in their metabolism which is harmful for humans. if you have used antibiotics, the normal, good, bacteria that live in your body can be replaced by a pathogen, which will make you sick.
It's loaded with bacteria. Yes, it will get you sick.
Bacteria that make people sick can come from contaminated food, water, surfaces, or other infected individuals. These bacteria enter the body through ingestion, inhalation, or physical contact, leading to infections or illnesses. Proper hygiene, food safety practices, and vaccinations can help reduce the risk of getting sick from harmful bacteria.
Not all bacteria are poisonous, but some pathogenic bacteria can produce toxins that cause food poisoning when ingested. These toxins can make people sick when they consume contaminated food. Proper food handling and cooking can help prevent food poisoning caused by bacterial contamination.
you poo and pee to realise bacteria and unwanted fluid out of the body
