Good Bacteria And Bad Bacteria

One good bacteria is Acidophilus because it helps the body. Acidophilus can help protect the body against harmful bacteria, parasites, and other organisms. As it breaks down it releases hydrogen peroxide that creates an environment for unhealthy creatures in the body, helping to drive them out. It also plays an important role in digestion, helping to produce a number of chemicals which aid in the digestion process.
 


One bad bacteria is cholera, it is an infection of the small intestines caused by the bacteria Vibrio cholerae. This bacteria causes profuse watery diarrhea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. Transmission is primary through contaminated drinking water or food. The severity of the diarrhea and vomiting can lead to rapid dehydration and electrolyte imbalance.
