Bacteria is the plural form of bacterium which means a single celled microorganism. Bacteria comes in various shapes such as spheres,rods as well as spirals. Bacteria can grow on any possible medium ranging from water to soil to radioactive waste to human body as well as plant body. They mostly attack organic objects. Bacteria secrete enzymes which break the polymer known as cellulose present in organic materials to monomer and then attack or consume the material.

This is because of the intestinal flora. There are 1000s of different kinds and billions of each kind.

Note that modern medicine completely ignores this phenomenon, which is 90% of our immune system. Health starts with these critters, antibiotics wipes them out. A major killer of the elderly is C-Difficile, which generally only occurs after antibiotics are prescribed...

Challenge authority, they are either delusional or our enemy.
