which one is the most dangerous, and which one is the least dangerous out of these three bacterias: coccus, bacillus, spirillum
Which bacteria is more dangerous? coccus, bacillus or spirillum?
what you have described is a shape for a group of bacteria instead of species capable of causing a disease, but lets see a few of each:
coccus- Streptococcus pyogenes caused rheumatic fever and most strep throat infections
Staphlococcus aureus- normally a harmless occupant of a persons skin is a major cause of infections in burn units sand other hospital based infections
Neiseria gonnorea- causes gonnorea
Bacillus
Bacillus anthrasis- causes anthrax a potentially fatal disease
Clostridium botulium- causes botulism in incorrectly canned food
Clostridium tetani- causes tetanus or lockjaw
Clostridium perfringes- causes gas gangrene
Spirillium
Most spirillium are harmless...with one notable exception:
Treponemia palladin- causes syphillus
The most dangerous as measured by number of diseases would easily be bacillus. The least would be spirillium.
Reply:look in your textbook
Reply:I dont think one is more dangerous than the other.
I thought it just depended on what kind of it.
Like strepococcus or something like that.
Reply:depends on what the bacteria is
anthrax are rod shaped bacillus
stapherius epidermus causes acne (more of a nuecince than dangerous)
stapheriuscoccus casues dangerous staph infections
i dunno very many sparilled shaped spirillum off ahnd - but undoubtily some r very dangerous
also, it depends on if its optistic bacterium - some skin (soemthing epiddermus) bacertia will only attack the unlucky hosts if the host is down - these usually are in hospitals where hosts (humans) immune systems are most vulnerable
hope i helped a bit with what i know from my high school advanced biology class
Reply:Each one may be more dangerous than the others under certain circumstances.
