Well, the insulin a diabetic gets does not contain any bacteria. It is sterile. However, the insulin is made by bacteria, usually E. coli. Hope this helps! Some Stuff about the E.Coli Bacteria:

• • The Bacteria E.coli used to produce insulin for those with Diabetes • It's Inexpensive - compared with 1980 methods(extracting insulin from pigs etc.) • Large quantities of the modified bacteria are killed and insulin is extracted and purified. •The Bacteria E.coli used to produce insulin for those with diabetes

How is insulin produced using bacteria in the manufacturing process?

Insulin is produced using bacteria in a process called recombinant DNA technology. In this process, the gene for human insulin is inserted into the DNA of bacteria, such as E. coli. The bacteria then produce insulin as they grow and multiply. The insulin is harvested and purified for use in treating diabetes.


Which molecule from humans is inserted into bacteria to cause them to produce insulin?

The human gene that codes for insulin is inserted into bacteria to produce insulin. The gene is typically inserted into a plasmid vector, which allows the bacteria to express the human insulin gene and produce insulin. This technique is used in biotechnology to create recombinant bacteria that can produce insulin for medical use.


How are bacteria used to treat people with diabetes?

bacteria itself is not the treatment. we use the bacteria to produce insulin, we do so by inserting the gene into their plasmids and trigger them to produce the insulin. the insulin is extracted and used.


Can insulin kill bacteria?

No


Can insulin be made by using transgenic bacteria?

Yes. In fact, currently insulin manufacturers worldwide use transgenic (recombinant) bacteria to produce insulin efficiently.


How can bacteria be utilized to produce insulin for individuals with diabetes?

Bacteria can be genetically modified to produce human insulin, which can then be harvested and used as a treatment for individuals with diabetes. This process involves inserting the gene for insulin production into the bacteria's DNA, allowing them to produce insulin in large quantities.

What type of microbe is diabetes?

Diabetes is not a microbe, a microbe is a disease-causing bacteria. Diabetes is a chronic illness that occurs when the body is unable to make enough insulin or has a resistance to insulin.


What is the process of making human insulin with bacteria?

The process involves inserting the human gene for insulin into a bacterial plasmid, which acts as a vector. The bacteria then replicates the gene and produces insulin protein. The protein is harvested, purified, and formulated into insulin for medical use.


Do any of insulin ingredients come from the pig?

Yes, some forms of insulin are derived from the pancreas of pigs or cows. This type of insulin is referred to as animal insulin and is less commonly used today, with most insulin now being produced through genetic engineering using bacteria or yeast.


Ability of bacteria to produce insulin was result of?

Genetic engineering of the bacteria.
