Bacteria are one cell organisms.

They reproduce very very rapidly (when enough food is available for them) and a colony of bacteria on a nutrient culture in a petri dish or in uncooked food can contain many millions of individual bacterial cells (and millions of colonies may be present)! This is why food poisoning from improperly handled foods is a serious problem.
