Thousands of types of bacteria are naturally present in our environment. Microorganisms that cause disease are called pathogens. When certain pathogens enter the food supply, they can cause foodborne illness. Not all bacteria cause disease in humans. For example, some bacteria are used beneficially in making cheese and yogurt.

Why would most bacteria not fear white blood cells?

Fear is a type of emotion which is present only in organisms possessing a nervous system. Bacteria do not have a nervous system. In fact, they are a single cell living as an entity. Thus, they do not fear white blood cells. Bacteria do not even feel pain, etc when they are killed by antibiotics, chemical actions etc. So I advice you to have healthy food daily, drink a lot of water and be disease free by killing as many pathogenic bacteria as you can. ;-)
