Bacillus anthracis causes the disease anthrax. Anthrax is a life-threatening infectious disease that normally affects animals (such as goats, cattle, sheep, and horses). Anthrax can be transmitted to humans by contact with infected animals or their products. Anthrax does not spread from person to person. In the soil, where they live, anthrax organisms exist in a dormant form called spores. These spores are difficult to destroy. The spores have been known to survive for as long as 48 years. Ingestion of anthrax can cause serious, sometimes fatal disease.
The most deadly form is inhalation anthrax. If the spores of anthrax are inhaled, they spread, and produce toxins that often cause death.
The greatest threat of anthrax today is through a bio-terrorist attack which would be delivered as an aerosol.
It is considered "bad".
Endospore formation is a survival mechanism used by some bacteria to protect themselves from harsh environmental conditions. It can be considered neither good nor bad inherently, as it is a natural process for certain bacterial species to ensure their survival. However, some pathogenic bacteria, like Clostridium and Bacillus species, use endospore formation to survive and spread in the body, causing infections.
it is a good microbe
No such thing as "bad bacteria" and "good bacteria" because they are all one and the same (though not literally) and can be affected by the same thing if the "bad" bacteria is targeted. A rod-shaped bacterium can be any bacterial species, "good" or "bad."
Yes there are. Some good bacteria that help in the aid of digestion. Note, that there are some bad bacteria, but most are actually good.
yes
bad
Diplobacillus refers to a type of bacteria that can be either beneficial or harmful, depending on the species. Some diplobacilli are important for processes like fermentation and are part of the normal microbiota, while others can be pathogenic and cause infections. For example, Bacillus anthracis, a diplobacillus, is responsible for anthrax, which is harmful. Overall, whether diplobacillus is "good" or "bad" varies by context and specific species.
There are no good or bad bacteria. They are doing the jobs that their DNA has programed them to do. As far as B. lactis is concerned, we use it to make cheeses.It also has been associated with a disease in newborns. Sometimes bacteria cause problems if they are in the wrong place at the wrong time.

bad bacteria can get you sick and ruin your immune system....and good bacteria helps protect you from the bad bacteria trying to ruin your immune system!!!
bacteria, good mushrooms have good bacteria,bad mushrooms have bad bacteria.simple as that
Good bacteria will not harm you if you consume it, it is also used in the production of cheese, alchohol and bread. Good bacteria is aslo used to break down matter in the enviroment. Bad bacteria will result in terribly BAD injuries or death. So dont consume bad bacteria and try not to consume good either! BY GEORGE.maka ...
purple bacteria is good but every other color is bad
Bad
bacteria is everywhere. There is good bacteria and bad bacteria but it is everywhere.
Yes.
it is a good microbe
