Bacteria that attack and digest dead tissue are called prime decomposers or decomposing bacteria. As digesting as it sounds, decomposing bacteria are a healthy and much needed part of the food web.
Dead bacteria and cells in the tissue form pus, which is a collection of white blood cells, dead tissue, and bacteria. The body's immune system responds to this as a sign of infection and works to eliminate it. Pus may need to be drained to facilitate healing.
Dead bacteria and cells in tissue contribute to the formation of necrotic tissue or pus, depending on the context. Necrotic tissue results from cell death due to injury or infection, leading to inflammation and tissue breakdown. Pus, on the other hand, is a thick fluid that accumulates during an immune response, containing dead bacteria, dead cells, and immune cells. Both indicate an ongoing inflammatory process in the body.
Both - they will utilise dead or living tissue to survive. However - they're more commonly found on dead material.
The natural process of dead animal or plant tissue being rotted or broken down. This process is carried out by invertebrates, fungi and bacteria.
Dead myocardial tissue does not regenerate or get replaced by new healthy tissue. Instead, the body forms scar tissue in place of the dead tissue. This can lead to decreased cardiac function and potential complications.
Pus is primarily composed of dead white blood cells, debris, tissue fluids, and bacteria. It often has a thick, creamy consistency due to the mixture of these components.
detritus , which is the food for detritivores
Faeces is brown because food is broken down in your intestines and mixed with other materials like toxins, dead body tissue and bacteria.
It is a ninja fungi, and only attacks in the dead of night
Both living and dead animals host bacteria. If something is wet at all its very often covered with bacteria.
Bacteria collects nutrients from dead organisms.
Exoenzymes are digestive enzymes that are secreted by the pathogen into the surrounding tissues, allowing the pathogen to further invade the host's tissues. For example, Streptococcus pyogenes secretes streptokinase to dissolve blood clots, allowing wound invasion, and streptolysin, which digests red blood cells and other body cells. Clostridium perfringens, an agent of gangrene, secretes a lipase that damages cell membranes, creating more dead tissue for these bacteria to invade.
