Clostridium (Gram +) which is an Obligate Anaerobe Endospore
C. tetani: tetnus
C. perfringens: food poison, gas gangrene
C. botulinum: botulism
Many bacteria can cause disease - such as 1) E. Coli, 2) S. pneumoniae, 3) Klebsiella pneumoniae, 4) H. Pylori, 5) Staph. aureus, and many others.
1. secretes enzymes that "eat" the cell.
2. they produce chemical toxins which poison the body.
Some destroy body cells by feeding on them. Others multiply in the body and produce toxins (poisons) that can harm body tissues.
Tetanus and Salmonella
The two general ways that bacteria cause disease ...... First is the body immunity as it decrease the bacteria easily cause disease. Second is the favorable environment for the bacterial growth.
Bacterial toxins and direct tissue destruction
Two examples of bacteria that cause disease include E. coli, and Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
There are actually three ways that bacteria can cause disease, although the first two are the most commonly cited. 1. Bacteria can cause disease directly by actually attacking and digesting human cells and tissues. 2. Bacteria can cause disease indirectly by producing harmful by-products that harm surrounding tissues. 3. Bacteria can cause disease indirectly by provoking an immune response. In order for this one to count, the immune response must result in the body's immune system destroying or damaging cells and tissue in its attempt to destroy the bacteria. Some bacteria are capable of damaging the body using all three of these mechanisms.
by spreading bacteria
Bacteria that cause disease are called pathogens. ( as are any other microorganism that causes disease). Pathogens cause disease either by 1) preventing host tissues from functioning properly. i.e stop oraganelles in the cells from working or by reproducing and bursting cells. 2) Producing toxins which destroy host tissues.
Several diseases are caused by spirella bacteria. Two known diseases are Lyme disease and syphilis. Lyme disease is transmitted through bacteria in ticks.
Two ways that pathogenic organisms can cause infection and disease is by producing poison and to attack and destroy the living cells they intrude.
1) if it gets into open wounds 2) if you inhale it somehow

Be more specific. Bacteria can cause direct and indirect damage by various mechanisms.
No two people, regardless of sexual orientation, cannot form a disease. A disease needs a virus, bacteria, or other cause.
