For food poisoning to occur bacteria need the right conditions.?

Pathogenic bacteria found in food generally require temperatures between 40°F and 135°F to grow. They also need moisture and food. They also tend to be anaerobic so they will survive better in an oxygen deficient atmosphere.
Also bacteria grows from uncaring use like not washing hands after use of the bog and leaving brown stains all over the bog and sink :)

∙ 16y agoYes, basically the same four conditions we humans need, Keep them warm, allow them oxygen to breath, feed them and don't let them dry out, for example bacteria will thrive on a fresh cooked chicken left out of the fridge in a warm kitchen for a day or so. This works with most food but especially meat and fish. Removing at least one of the four elements will slow down or stop bacteria growing.

∙ 12y agoBacteria - including the kinds that commonly cause food poisoning - tend to favour growing conditions that are warm and moist. There also needs to be a nutrient source, in this case the food that the bacteria is in or on and feeding off of. A lack of antiobiotics and cleaning fluids also allows the bacteria to multiply more freely and quickly, too.

What does bacteria require for growth and replication?
The environment for which bacteria can grow must have the right environmental conditions. In addition, bacteria require nutrients such as nitrogen and minerals to use for metabolism

What controls a bacteria cell?
Cytoplasmic growth can control a bacteria's cell cycle. It is done as a result of acquiring resources from their environment under the right conditions.
Where do funnel clouds occur and why do they occur?
in super-celled thunderstorms or for the right conditions. All it is a wing current that spins around very fast.
What are thick walled cells in which bacteria store genetic material called?
Bacteria are surrounded by endospheres which contain genetic material and keeps the bacteria safe until conditions are right for it to live again.
Do landslides occur near rivers?
Landslides can occur anywhere that there is a slope. If there is a slope near a river, there is every chance that, given the right conditions, a landslide could occur.
