What else can I help you with?
How can bacteria be both pathogenic and non pathogenic?
No. Almost all bacteria are not. There are bacteria everywhere performing essential functions like breaking down dead animals and plants. Bacteria are essential to health helping digest food and preventing pathogenic bacteria from getting out of control.
What is the difference between pathogenic and spoilage bacteria?
Pathogenic bacteria are harmful and can cause diseases in humans, while spoilage bacteria are not typically harmful but can degrade food quality by causing changes in taste, texture, and appearance. Pathogenic bacteria pose a health risk, whereas spoilage bacteria primarily impact the quality of food.
How is pathogenic bacteria spread?
There are many ways they spread -- you can pass them via contact or droplets, and some can be airborne. Some are spread via vectors (ie mosquitos), and some are in water or food that are ingested. It really depends on what type of pathogenic bacteria you are speaking of.
Do Toxins from pathogenic bacteria can be destroyed by freezing and cooking?
Freezing does not effectively destroy toxins produced by pathogenic bacteria; in fact, some toxins can remain active even after freezing. However, cooking at sufficiently high temperatures can inactivate many bacterial toxins. It's crucial to cook food to the recommended internal temperatures to ensure safety. Always prioritize proper food handling and cooking methods to minimize the risk of foodborne illness.
Pathogenic foodborne bacteria grow best in food with a pH of?
Pathogenic foodborne bacteria grow best in food with a pH above 4.6. This pH level provides an environment conducive for their growth and reproduction. Foods with a pH below 4.6 are generally considered less favorable for the growth of these bacteria.
What happens if a fly is cooked in food?
Probably nothing will happen. Any germs the fly had most likely were cooked away. Heat kills pathogenic bacteria.

Pathogenic bacteria pose a health risk, whereas spoilage bacteria primarily impact the quality of food.
What disease is caused by bacteria is found in food?
There is no one disease since there are a multitude of pathogenic bacteria that can be transmitted by food. See Related Links.
Why food can cause food poisoning even when food has been cooked?
there are bacteria in the food even after it has been cooked,
How is pathogenic bacteria spread?
There are many ways they spread -- you can pass them via contact or droplets, and some can be airborne. Some are spread via vectors (ie mosquitos), and some are in water or food that are ingested. It really depends on what type of pathogenic bacteria you are speaking of.
Where do pathogenic bacteria usually live?
In the body, and in the food, and some plants.

Why is cooked meat a high-risk food?
You need to watch out for high risks food because their is a certain way they must be cooked and stored. Also, because that's a way someone may catch food poisoning. You won't recognize food poisoning in about 48 hours.
Pathogenic foodborne bacteria grow best in food with a pH of?
Pathogenic foodborne bacteria grow best in food with a pH above 4.6. This pH level provides an environment conducive for their growth and reproduction. Foods with a pH below 4.6 are generally considered less favorable for the growth of these bacteria.
Can cooked beans cause food poisoning when left a room temperature?
Yes. Cooked beans left at room temperature could support the growth of pathogenic microorganisms and cause illness.
Why do potatoes need to be refrigerated after they are cooked but not before?
Peeling a potato removes the protective skin and then bacteria can get on the cooked potato, which is carbs, which is sugar, a food source for bacteria.
