There are millions of bacteria in every slice of blue cheese just like in most living food, but if you are referring to what gives its blue color to cheese, this is a fungus, not a bacteria. Blue cheese like stilton, roquefort or gorgonzola are seeded with the fungus penicillium roqueforti. Penicillium has been used in France since the Middle Ages to heal wounds, in the form of blue mold bread, however it is the Scottish Alexander Fleming who first isolated its active element penicillin in 1928, from penicillium rubens.
