Some of the harmful bacteria act as pathogens in creating and spreading diseases including tuberculosis, leprosy, cholera, pneumonia, syphilis, tetanus and typhoid fever to name a few. In plants, harmful bacteria cause wilts, fireblight, and leaf spot.

Harmful bacteria can create infection in a number of modes including through contact, air, water,food and through insect bearing microorganisms. The harmful bacteria can be destroyed by the use of antibiotics. It is also found useful to hamper their growth than destroying them altogether by the use of bacteriostatic antibiotics. answered by azam khan
