Any infection of the mouth can affect any part of the body. 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. Any dental work I need to have done is preceded by antibiotics for a few days so no infection will go to my heart. Hope this helps you.
Can the bacteria from gingivitis spread to other parts of your body , such as your arm.?
The answer is technically yes, because the body is one entire system, and all parts of it are connected and served by exactly the same circulatory, lymph, nervous and endocrine systems. I would, however, be MUCH more concerned about the bacteria from a mouth infection going to my heart or brain. I know a man who had a cardiac infarction caused by an embolus of tooth decay traveling through his blood stream, and lodging around his heart. It caused a heart attack, and endocarditis, both of which almost killed him. It's nothing to screw around with. Go to the dentist.
Reply:Hi! I've been in dentistry for over 25 years. 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
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. That is why treating it immediately is very important to prevent health complications.

What does bacteria need to survive?
Depends on what kind of bacteria. Aerobic bacteria require oxygen, anaerobic bacteria do not. They all require a source of nourishment, and some source of moisture.
What does bacteria need to survive?
I think it needs a host to survive.
Reply:Like your normal man = Dark, damp conditions and a host to live off.
Reply:warm, damp, moist areas
Reply:Food, Water, Air
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.
Reply:Bacteria are like all living things, they need a food source and they need to respire.
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.
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.
Others use chemical reactions to release energy they can use (chemotrophs). Some use the sun, and photosynthesise, like plants.
Bacteria can live just about any where.
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.
Anywhere there's food, they'll be!
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.
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!
Reply:They also need to have a method of getting rid of waste, just like everything else!
Reply:Few rules;
1. Aerobic bacteria require oxygen, anaerobic bacteria do not, like bacterias deep underground or within animal body.
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.
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.
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.

Most bacteria are grown in a complex media called Luria-Burtani Broth (LB for short). This is basically comprised of digested protein and ground up yeast.

What is, bacteria reproduced by binary fission, which is a type of (sexual/asexual) reproduction?
what is the correct definition.
What is, bacteria reproduced by binary fission, which is a type of (sexual/asexual) reproduction?
it's asexual, since it doesn't need another bacteria to reproduce itself, and its offspring are identical to the first.
Unless you meant what is binary fission. sorry, i couldn't really understand the question. Then the definition would be when one bacteria splits to make another bacteria identical to itself.

Why do bacteria tend to become resistant to most antibotics but rarely become resistant to herbal medicine?
is this even true statement?
Why do bacteria tend to become resistant to most antibotics but rarely become resistant to herbal medicine?
The goal of medicine is to cure or control a certain illness. 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.
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.
Reply:Alternative propaganda!
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.
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.
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.
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.....
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.
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.
Reply:*wild speculation alert*
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.
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.

Where 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....

The bottom of the ocean...

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.
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. No wonder some people go to obsessive measures over bacteria; it's everywhere; it was the first life on earth, it'll be the last life of earth, we can't see it yet it can do so much.

Why did heat kill the S bacteria in the Griffith experiment?
How does it suggest that it was not a chemical poison released by the S bacterias?
also, what is transformation?
just answer one if you'd like. =)
thanks!
Why did heat kill the S bacteria in the Griffith experiment?
very complex experiment
Griffith believed polysaccharide coating on the bacteria somehow caused the illness and knowing that polysaccharides are not affected by heat, Griffith then used heat to kill some of the S strain bacteria and injected those dead bacteria into mice. Because the new mice didn't die, he knew the disease wasn't caused by polysaccharides (because they wouldn't have been effected by the heat)
there are sooo many definitions for a transformation
You can transform power from high voltage to low voltage and vice versa
you can transform sets of data that isn't inherently normal by taking the log of the data or squaring it, in order to make it normal
I assume you are talking about the genetic transformation. That is when to implant the plasmid of a bacteria or another vector, into a host cell. Also known as the genetic alternation from introduction, uptake, and expression of foreign dna
