Bacteria live everywhere in the air, in soil, in water, in food, and on every sort of plant and animal. They live inside our bodies and, while some bacteria are harmful to humans and other animals because they can cause disease, we could not live without them. They make our digestive systems work and help eliminate waste from our bodies to keep us alive and well. Only certain bacteria are harmful to us, and these can pretty well be controlled by cleanliness, including frequent hand washing and being careful not to release disease-carrying bacteria by sneezing, coughing, or spitting.

∙ 12y agoSome Eubacteria are harmful but others are helpful. Harmful Eubacteria include, E. Coli if it gets in an organisms bloodstream, salmonella, anthrax, heliobacter, syphilis, lyme disease, and leptospirosis. Some Eubacteria that are beneficial are Rhizobium, Cyanobacteria, Decomposers, Streptomycas (an antibiotic), Actinomyes (also an antibiotic), and E. Coli if it is in an organisms digestive track.

∙ 10y agoIt looks like this question is based on out-of-date information.
Firstly, "archaebacteria" is a deprecated term; the current preference is for archaea instead.
Secondly, the relationship between archaea and eubacteria is not clear.
That said ... while not all bacteria are harmful, there are no known parasites or pathogens among the archaea; they're at worst neutral, and some species are symbiotes (a fair percentage of human intestinal flora are archaea that aid in digestion).
