Pathogens Of Bacteria

Many microorganisms are beneficial, for example, some in our large intestines synthesize vitamins and allow them to be absorbed into the bloodstream. A tiny minority are pathogens (disease-causing agents). Pathogens are also known as germs or bugs and can be life threatening. External injuries is the bacteria’s entrance to the body. They get energy from molecules such as sugars. Bacteria uses ATP for growth, movement, temperature regulation, and many other processes. They grow best in unhygienic conditions and can grow very quickly by dividing in half and then the two halves grow and then divide again and so on. grow larger using nutrition gained by digesting food. Bacteria uses a form of asexual reproduction called binary fission to reproduce. Ideal conditions for bacteria includes a warm …show more content…
The waste travels from there, through the cell membrane, cell wall and eventually reaches outside of the cell where it is left. Waste can affect organisms nearby, as in a way, it contaminates the bacterium's surroundings. The nutrients absorbed by the bacteria is used for growth and repair or used in respiration to release energy. Bacteria is very harmful. It can cause harm by physically blocking functions if there numbers are extremely high. Bacteria has the potential to destroy skin, fat, and the tissue covering the muscles very quickly. Necrotizing fasciitis can lead to organ failure and death. Necrotizing fasciitis generally starts from an infection in a minor cut or bruise. The bacteria is spread through droplets in the air when an infected person coughs or sneezes. If you breathe in these droplets you have a high risk of becoming infected. Bacteria can grow at all temperatures between the freezing point of water and the temperature at which protein coagulates. The bacteria grows best at optimum which lies between the maximum and minimum points. Temperatures below the minimum stop bacterial growth but do not kill the
