How do bacteria affect human lives? Bacteria interact and are a constant in our day to day lives‚ perhaps more than suspected. Bacteria are often thought of as bad‚ however this is untrue‚ there is also many types of ‘good’ bacteria. ‘Good’ bacteria can benefit us by simply helping our digestive system work and helping us in the process of fermentation. Bacteria are extremely helpful in the production of many things such as fuel and medicine. But bacteria directly affect our production of

this time‚ only one monoclonal antibody has been licensed for an infectious disease (RSV infection). Active immunization induces an adaptive‚ longlasting immune response to a pathogen by introducing the killed or attenuated pathogens or antigens derived from the pathogens into the body. These nonpathogenic forms of the pathogen are the major component of a vaccine. Therefore‚ active immunization is routinely achieved by administering different types of vaccines. In the past 100 years‚ the use of vaccines

This was also proven to be a danger for humans as widespread use of antibiotics results in breading super pathogens (drug resistant bacteria).Besides antibiotics there are also other toxic substances which are used to feed the animals on these farms. These toxins may be contaminated in animal tissues and they create the risk for people who consume them. There

Escherichia coli 0157:H7 OR (E. coli) is a food born pathogen that can cause serious illness or if left untreated can cause death. One of the obvious symptoms of E. coli is bloody diarrhea although not all forms of E coli have the same symptoms. The main toxins all strains of E. coli produce are called shiga toxins‚ the toxins alone are not able to make E. coli pathogenic it needs the presence of other virulence markers. The symptoms can easily be confused with other illnesses or diseases. It starts
