Are all microorganisms pathogenic?

No, not all microorganisms are pathogenic. Many microorganisms are harmless or even beneficial to humans and the environment. Pathogenic microorganisms are the minority, causing diseases under certain conditions.


Can you die from pathogenic bacteria?

Yes, pathogenic bacteria can potentially lead to serious infections that can be life-threatening, especially if left untreated or if the individual has a compromised immune system. Severe infections can lead to sepsis, organ failure, and death. It's important to seek medical attention if you suspect a bacterial infection.


Is it true or false the micro organisms can be either helpful or harmful?

True. There are microorganisms (bacteria) that cause disease but most of the bacteria in the human body are necessary for the body to function. For example, your stomach and intestines have good bacteria that are important for propeer digestion of food.


What is difference in coliform and non-coliform bacteria?

Coliform bacteria are a group of bacteria that are commonly found in the intestines of warm-blooded animals and are used as indicators of fecal contamination in water. Non-coliform bacteria, on the other hand, refer to bacteria that are not part of the coliform group and may include a wide range of bacterial species with different characteristics and habitats.
