Normally found in warm, moist, pH neutral or very slightly alkaline areas like the mouth, nose, large intestine. Some varieties also live on the skin. Can cause infection when introduced to areas where they don't belong like blood, lungs or other internal tissues.

It depends on the conditions such as temperature and what nutrients are available. They can divide every 20 minutes if all is going well for them. Once they divide, you now have two and you can say that the original cell no longer exists which makes the life span for each cell 20 minutes.
