skin, tears, mucus, cilia, stomach acid, urine flow, 'friendly' bacteria and white blood cells called neutrophils.
Is there bacteria on bacteria?
There are no bacteria on other bacteria. Some bacteria do attack other bacteria by piercing their cell wall and injecting proteins.Viruses can attack bacteria. They are called bacteriophages.
How is it possible that less than 1 percent of bacteria cause disease?
Because the majority of bacteria you will enounter everyday and have built up a pretty good immune system by being exposed to them.
