No, bacteria and viruses are not responsible for most cases of food intolerance. Food intolerance primarily arises from the body's inability to properly digest certain foods, often due to enzyme deficiencies or sensitivities, rather than infections caused by bacteria or viruses. Common examples include lactose intolerance and gluten sensitivity. In contrast, bacteria and viruses are more commonly associated with foodborne illnesses and infections.

What is a difference between bacteria and viruses that shows that bacteria are living organims and viruses are not?

Bacteria metabolize ingested nutrients. Viruses do not do this. Bacteria reproduce by fusion. A virus needs a host to reproduce. Bacteria exchange gases with the environment. A virus does do this. A bacteria is motile in many cases. Flagella. Viruses must depend on the current in solution. As you see viruses do not have any of the markers of living organisms, but some biologists do not fully agree that viruses are not a sort of living organism.


Do bacteria or viruses can travel through urine stream?

No, bacteria and viruses do not travel through urine stream unless the urinary tract is infected. In cases of urinary tract infections, bacteria can be present in the urine. However, viruses are not typically found in urine unless there is a specific viral infection affecting the urinary tract.


What bacteria is the most widespread cause of infection?

Staphylococcus aureus is one of the most common bacteria responsible for infections in humans. It can cause a wide range of infections from minor skin infections to more serious conditions such as pneumonia and bloodstream infections. Additionally, Escherichia coli (E. coli) is another widespread cause of infection, particularly in cases of urinary tract infections and food poisoning.

Is Swine Flu aerobic?

It is not classified that same way as bacteria are. Bacteria are classified as aerobic or anaerobic to indicate if they are aerobic (require oxygen to function) or anaerobic (live in an oxygen-free environment). But bacteria are living organisms very different from viruses (swine flu is caused by a virus). Viruses are not "alive", they live off a host animal or plant (and even on bacteria) and cause the living organisms to metabolize and provide for them. Viruses don't really care if there is or is not an oxygen rich atmosphere as long as the environment is good for their host (in most cases, this is an aerobic environment.)

Which bacteria is responsible for causing the greatest number of foodborne illnesses?

Norovirus is the leading cause of foodborne illnesses, rather than a bacteria. It is highly contagious and can be transmitted through contaminated food or water. It is estimated to be responsible for more cases of foodborne illness than any other pathogen.

What are 3 of the nastiest bacterial viruses?

First we need to clarify your question. Viruses (like the one that causes the common cold) are NOT bacteria. Viruses are their own subset, in fact they aren't even considered 'living' organisms. Viruses that attack bacteria are called bacteriophage, if that is what you're interested, I suggest a search using that term. When it comes to viruses that attack humans, the nastiest are probably some of the STDs, like herpes, that are recurrent and you can never be cured of. An obvious answer is HIV-AIDS, an incurable illness from a virus. Also, viral meningitis is a horrible disease where the virus attacks the meninges (or brain / nerve tissue) and cause paralysis and in many cases death.


Are diseases abiotic?

A disease can be biotic or abiotic. If it is a bacteria it is biotic, but if it is a virus it is always abiotic, because viruses are not considered living because they cannot reproduce on there own, do not consume energy or give off waist.
