Are bacteria that live in “typical” environments like on your hands, in foods, and in soil.?

Bacteria is everywhere. It's different types and some are good and some are bad. You even have bacteria that are good in your stomach. Some bacteris, like E COLI in your intestines, is okay when it's there but can make you sick if it gets on to your hands and you transfer it to other people. Some bacteria just infect plants! I think Bacteria is fascinating, but oh so deadly.

Are bacteria that live in “typical” environments like on your hands, in foods, and in soil.?
Yes that is why people are asked to wash their hands. Also bacteria lives on the food you eat that causes your breath to stink its pretty much everywhere our bodies can defend over simple food Bacteria
Reply:Bacteria live in many environments. Different species live in different places. For example a bacteria called Streptococcus epidermidis lives on skin and helps protect the skin from colonization by other harmful bacteria (disease-causing species)- so one has nice and healthy skin. Other bacteria such as Thermus aquaticus live in boiling springs -such as those of Yellowstone hot springs. Bacteria can be fussy, so not all species can live just anywhere. Those growing on the skin cannot grow in the hot springs for example and so on...
Reply:yes. there are bacteria on practically any part of of your body inside and out!!


The smell of soil is that of bacteria ( when you grow it on agar you can get that "earthy" smell...very wierd.





Just to point out that only 5% of bacteria are consdiered pathogenic...that leaves a massive 95% that are neutral or beneficial bactieria....the ones on our skin help to defend off bacteria and why I am personally against antibacterial body soaps as you need the bacteria there to help ward off the nasties....why kill off your defenders!!???





Also you really need to ask the question more clearly!!!!
