I think the biggest thing is clean as you go. Wash all your knives, cutting boards, dishes, when you are done cooking, not look at a sink full of dishes after you are done. Cleaning as you go helps keep away cross contamination and you avoid having food borne bacteria.

We can, for example, be fairly confident that either there will be a world without war or there won't be a world - at least, a world inhabited by creatures other than bacteria and beetles, with some scattering of others.

If an alien visited Earth, they would take some note of humans, but probably spend most of their time trying to understand the dominant form of life on our planet - microorganisms like bacteria and viruses.

American Scientist

Gore Vidal

Think of the earth as a living organism that is being attacked by billions of bacteria whose numbers double every forty years. Either the host dies, or the virus dies, or both die.

American Novelist

Will Hobbs

I love weird science. I learned in an article in 'National Geographic' that there are trillions of bacteria in our guts that help us digest food. These are non-human creatures.

Accidents at power plants are bad enough. But a leak from a bioreactor could be worse, since bacteria can learn new tricks when you're not looking.

From dead plant matter to nematodes to bacteria, never underestimate the cleverness of mushrooms to find new food!

Stephen Jay Gould

What you see is that the most outstanding feature of life's history is a constant domination by bacteria.

Timothy Morton

Am I simply a vehicle for numerous bacteria that inhabit my microbiome? Or are they hosting me?

Removing the bad bacteria from your skin is the key to clear skin.

Often implies danger, especially in health-related contexts.

Health Hazard

Reminds that bacteria are not visible, causing unseen risks.

Invisible Threat

Important in conversations about hygiene and infections.

Disease Link

Highlights positive role in food and health industries.

Beneficial Uses

Often discussed regarding gut flora balance and probiotics.

Digestive Health

Used in contexts like food preparation and preservation.

Fermentation Agent

Emphasizes that bacteria are found almost everywhere.

Ubiquitous Presence

Important to know not all bacteria are harmful; many are beneficial.

Not All Bad

Useful for discussing the diverse types of bacterial life forms.

Complex Classification

 gives quite the edge. As the non-resistant bacteria are killed off, which happens especially quickly in antibiotic-rich environments, like hospitals, there is more room and resources for the resistant ones to thrive, passing along only the mutated genes that help them do so. Reproduction isn't the only way to do this.

 then everybody responds to the vote and what's important for today's talk is that we know that there are hundreds of behaviors that bacteria carry out in these collective fashions but the one that's probably the most important to you is virulence so it's not like a couple bacteria to get in you and then

 But what are they anyway, and are they actually bad for you? Those spots are evidence of an epic battle between plants and microbes. Like humans, plants coexist with billions of fungi and bacteria. Some of these microbes are beneficial to the plant, suppressing disease and helping it extract nutrients.

 we can remove many of these bacteria and their food sources. In some cases, these measures may not be enough due to dental problems, nasal conditions, or rarer ailments, such as liver disease and uncontrolled diabetes. Behaviors like smoking and excessive alcohol consumption

 And you can have what we call organic molecules, and these are the bricks of life, and you can have fossils, and you can minerals, biominerals, which is due to the reaction between bacteria and rocks, and of course you can have gases in the atmosphere.

 This isn't unusual. All animals have protective immune systems. But horseshoe crab amebocytes are exceptionally sensitive to bacterial endotoxins. Endotoxins are molecules from the cell walls of certain bacteria, including E. coli.
