Bacterial Diseases

What are Bacterial Diseases:

Bacterial diseases are human illness caused by bacteria. Being Bacteria microorganism and tiny forms of life that can be visualized with an electronic microscope. Viruses, some fungi and some parasites are also microorganisms.

Not all types of bacteria are harmful for health. They even necessary for good health. But most of them cause bacterial infections and disease. The good ones need to survive our life, to digest our food (in our intestines) and to live on our skin and in our mouth. Bacterial diseases occur when harmful bacteria get into the body and reproducing same grow in tissues that are normally sterile. Harmful bacteria may also eject toxins that damage the cell.

Fig: Prototype of Good and Harm Bacteria. Table: Good Bacteria with Positive affect. Name Of Bacteria Positive Affect Lactobacillus fermentation process Clostridium butylicus separate fibers of jute, hemp, flax, etc Clostridium butyclicum commercial preparation of riboflavin Lactobacillus Acidophilus in yogurt cultures and in the treatment of bacterial vaginosis. Lactobacillus Rhamnosus proven beneficial effects on intestinal immunity. Bifidobacterium Animalis to improve digestive regularity. Used with irritable bowel syndrome or chronic constipation. Escherichia Coli enhancing reproductive, digestive and immune health Lactococcus Lactis butter and cheese are manufactured using appropriate strains of L. lactis. Lactobacillus Reuteri for some of the immuno supportive and anti-gas effects associated with breastfeeding. Good & Bad Effects of Bacteria: Like all things in nature, Bacteria are associated with positives and negatives impact on human health. They are required to live all forms of life but  they have capacity to destroy it as well.                  Aid Digestion                                                                         Good bacteria in the digestive tract---intestinal flora---assist in the digestion of food and minerals and aid in the production of vitamins.                                                                                                                                  Protection Against Toxins                                                                      When the number of negative bacteria increases, positive bacteria change gradually conditions for their survival and growth. Thus prevent most of the toxins produced by bad bacteria from invading the body. Food Production  Some foods in bakery are made  by bacteria multiply and emit enzyme. The end product shapes the food that is yogurt, cheese. Aid Immune System                                                                         Probiotic (good) bacteria assist for better the immune system. Their eject enzyme helpful in fighting illness and disease. They are currently under research as a possible cure for diseases such as cancer. Bacterial Disease                                                                          Salmonella bacterium causes diarrhea. It can also be caused by eating foods that affected by diarrhea-causing bacteria such as dried foods and foods keeping open at room temperature for long periods. Bacteria cause many cases of gastroenteritis, sometimes called stomach flu. The most common bacterial disease is tooth decay. Dental plaque, the sticky yellow layer on our teeth, consists primarily of masses of mutans streptococci. This bacteria ferment (split) the sugar we eat and produce acids that can reduce the enamel of the teeth and create cavities in the teeth. Anthrax is an infectious disease caused by bacteria. Bacillus anthracis bacteria causes spores in human body, a form of the germ covered by a protective shell. tiny amount of anthrax spores can be aerosolized and inhaled by humans and result in bitterness and mortality. Gonorrhea is a sexual disease caused by bacteria called Neisseria gonorrhoeae. The bacteria can be transmitted from one person to another through vaginal or anal sex, although the person who is infected has no symptoms. Other serious bacterial diseases include cholera, diphtheria, bacterial meningitis, and syphilis.                                                  Food Poisoning Food poisoning comes from eating foods that contain germs like bad bacteria or toxins. Bacteria like Salmonella, Listeria, Campylobacter, E. coli are responsible for it. People infected with food pollution may be symptom-free or may have symptoms ranging from mild intestinal discomfort to severe dehydration and bloody diarrhea.
