What percentage of human diseases are caused by bacteria?

Roughly 10-15% of human diseases are caused by bacteria. Examples include strep throat, tuberculosis, and some types of food poisoning.


What are the 10 disease caused by RNA and DNA virus in bacteria?

Bacteria can be infected by bacteriophages, which are viruses that specifically target bacterial cells. RNA viruses affecting bacteria include the bacteriophage MS2, which can cause issues in E. coli, and the bacteriophage Qβ. DNA viruses include bacteriophages such as Lambda and T4, which can lead to lytic and lysogenic infections in their bacterial hosts. Other notable bacteriophages include T7, M13, and P1, all of which can contribute to various bacterial diseases by disrupting normal cellular functions.


What are the three diseases caused by organisms that form endospores?

Bacterial Spores are a bacterial defensive strategy to survive in harsh environments. Several types of bacteria are capable of using this mechanism. The spores themselves do not cause the disease, they must be first be reactivated to functional bacteria in the proper environment. Bascillis anthasis or more commonly know as anthrax is the most well know due to the potential terrorist threat. The more prevalent bacteria which causes disease is clostridium difficile which reactivates in the colon causing a diarrhea illness usually after someone takes antibiotics which kill off the normal colon bacteria. Up to 5-10% of people carry this in their colon, but this becomes much higher amongst hospitalized patients. There are other spore forming bacteria, but these are not commonly associated with disease.

Is kidney infection treatable?

A kidney infection treatable is VERY treatable! It is caused by a bacteria. When the doctor sends your urine sample to the lab, they will identify what kind of bacteria is causing the infection. Generally, 10 days of antibiotics will kill the bacteria.

Names of 10 disease causing bacteria?

Tuberculosis, strep throat, ear infections, food poisoning, tetanus,chlamydia, gonorrhea, impetigo, gingivitis, stomach ulcers.it depends on which bacteria are you talking about like Pertussis is also referred to as 'whooping cough'. The bacteria that spread this disease are referred to as bordetella pertussis. The disease takes a toll on the immune system of younger people within 6 weeks. The symptoms of Pertussis include nausea, severe coughing, and fever. The term 'whooping cough' is the result of the sound that the patient makes while coughing. Sadly, the disease spreads in underdeveloped regions of the world, where the access rate of the expensive antibiotics is highly questionable.Bacteria causes many diseases such as whooping cough, diarrhoea, typhoid fever, bacterial pneumonia and many more! :)When bacteria in the body and cause disease, hence this phenomenon is called infection. Diseases caused depending on the type and place of occurrence of bacterial infections. An example is typhoid, caused by the bacterium Salmonella thypi. Other bacteria is tuberculosis bacterium, which attacks the lungs causing TB disease, and if spread to the brain, can cause meningitis.


How many people in the US have huntingtons disease?

Huntington's disease affects approximately 30,000 people in the United States, with an additional 200,000 at risk of inheriting the condition. The disease is caused by a genetic mutation and typically manifests in adulthood. Its prevalence is about 5 to 10 cases per 100,000 people in the general population.

Can influenza be a latent virus?

No. Influenza viruses are active. You are infected, so your body creates antibodies that disable the viruses in 7 to 10 days. Then your body eventually removes all of the "dead" ones from your body. Latent viruses, like HIV, hepatitis C, and Herpes viruses, infect you but don't cause evidence of disease until later, sometimes years later, as they lie dormant (latent) hidden in your tissues until the disease they cause eventually manifests.
