	bacteria is good for us - gametes69 - @ 20six.co.uk
		Dr Gill suspects the ecology of the human gut is at least as complex as that in soils or seas.
		Some bacteria in the gut break down chemicals made by plants that could cause cancer or other illnesses if they were not neutralised.
		Our intestinal residents even pay us a kind of rent: bacteria in the gut make generous quantities of an enzyme that facilitates the production of butyryl coenzyme A, a fatty acid that is a favourite food of the cells that line the colon.

	Human Skin is a Zoo of Bacteria, Scientists Say - Science - RedOrbit
		About half of the bacteria identified by the molecular analysis belonged to one of four established bacterial groups known to live on human skin - the propionibacteria, corynebacteria, staphylococcus and streptococcus.
		The scientists also found the variety of bacteria on any one individual changed over the several months in which the swabs were taken.
		It is estimated that the body's microbial cells outnumber human cells by 10 to 1.

	Bacteria live in the esophagus!
		The esophagus isn't merely a tube for food traveling from the mouth to the stomach, it also provides an environment for bacteria to live, according to a new study by NYU School of Medicine scientists that overturns the general belief that the esophagus is free of bacteria.
		Bacteria were believed to move through the esophagus, the tube connecting the mouth to the stomach, as food-borne passengers on route to the stomach.
		Although many of the bacteria in the esophagus were highly related to the bacteria found in the mouth, certain bacteria were not known residents of the mouth, says Dr. Pei.

		Human life expectancy at birth is approaching 80 years in wealthy nations, with the assistance of science and technology, and it is thought that the maximum human life span is about 120 years.
		Permanent human settlements are dependent on proximity to water and, depending on the lifestyle, other natural resources such as fertile land for growing crops and grazing livestock or, seasonally by populations of prey.
		Humans often consider themselves to be the dominant species on Earth, and the most advanced in intelligence and ability to manage their environment.

		This bacteria is normally found in the vagina and/or lower intestine of 15% to 40% of all healthy, adult women.
		But, just like any other bacteria in the human body, GBS can be present in small amounts on one day which would result in a negative culture.
		Women who carry less amounts of the bacteria may not be identified by the test; however, medical research indicates that their babies are at lower risk of becoming infected.

	Disease Listing, Legionellosis, General Information \| CDC Bacterial, Mycotic Diseases
		Legionellosis is an infection caused by the bacterium Legionella pneumophila.
		The bacteria got its name in 1976, when many people who went to a Philadelphia convention of the American Legion suffered from an outbreak of this disease, a type of pneumonia (lung infection).
		Chest X-rays are needed to find the pneumonia caused by the bacteria, and other tests can be done on sputum (phlegm), as well as blood or urine to find evidence of the bacteria in the body.

	Infection of the body by bacteria
		The main reason why bacteria invade the bodies of human beings and other animals is because those bodies harbour environments where the bacteria can survive and multiply.
		Body fluids, such as plasma, are rich in sugars, vitamins, minerals and other chemicals which bacteria can use as nutrients.
		The main points of entry into the body are the skin, the eyes, the respiratory tract and the gastrointestinal tract.

		Some of the bacteria on the skin appear to be more or less permanent residents; others are transient, according to the study.

		Our failure to recognise the paramount importance of bacteria in the body and their functions is the main cause for demise of all good health.
		If the proper balance of friendly bacteria are not present in the human gut no matter how good the source of nutrients, supplements or remedies put into the body are, the body cannot utilise them properly.
		If the bacteria in the body are compromised and the body cannot assimilate the broad spectrum of nutrients it needs then the body will fall into disease and ultimately death.

		Anthrax is an acute infectious disease caused by the bacterium Bacillus anthracis.
		Two small molecules known as siderophores, bacillibactin and petrobactin, within the anthrax bacteria are produced as a parasite to the human body, depriving it of iron.
		The human immune system works to defend itself against the first siderophore, which acts as a decoy while the second successfully bypasses the body’s defense, he said.

	A Science Odyssey: People and Discoveries: Salk produces polio vaccine
		For each virus, a vaccine must be custom-made, but the principles are the same: if your body is exposed to a very weak or small amount of the disease virus, it will produce antibodies, chemicals to resist and kill the virus.
		Bacteria usually contaminated the tissue, but Enders' team was now able to get penicillin -- discovered 20 years earlier by Alexander Fleming and developed in the 1940s by Ernst Chain and Howard Florey -- and prevent the bacterial growth.

	Vitamin B12 Information Sheet
		Bacteria present in the large intestine are able to synthesise B12.
		In the past, it has been thought that the B12 produced by these colonic bacteria could be absorbed and utilised by humans.
		However, the bacteria produce B12 too far down the intestine for absorption to occur, B12 not being absorbed through the colon lining.

		It is important to note the differences between the human (eukaryotic) cell and the bacterial (prokaryotic) cell because many of these differences account for disease pathogenesis and it has also been possible to exploit these differences in developing a chemotherapy regimen.
