    Bonnie Bassler Analysis

    • 494 Words
    • 2 Pages

    Bonnie Bassler claims that bacteria although simple have complex systems that they use to communicate with each other to coordinate. This is crucial to humans because Dr. Bassler considers humans to be 90-99% bacterial. Dr. Bassler states we have about one trillion human cells but we have about 10 trillion bacterial cells that either live in or on humans. The number of bacterial genes in those cells outnumber humans by 100 times since humans only have 30,000 genes. These bacteria share a mutualistic relationship with the humans. For example the bacteria that live on the skin forms a body armor. Bacteria also live in the body which digests our food and teaches the immune system which microbes are bad. However, there also bacteria that can damage they do to the host which is its virulence. Then there is also the bacteria’s ability to cause disease called pathogenicity. Bacterial relationships can be seen in other animals as well.…

    Bacteria can get into your body in many ways; the first one is Droplet infection so when you cough, sneeze or talk you expel tiny droplets full of pathogens from your breathing system and then other people breathe that in. The second is Direct Contact which means that some diseases are spread by direct contact of the skin. The third is through contaminated food and drink so when you eat raw or undercooked food or you drink water containing sewage can spread disease for example diarrhoea and food poisoning (salmonella). The fourth is being infected by bacteria through any animal or insect bite for example malaria is spread by a mosquito that contains the malaria virus biting you.…

They exist on virtually every living thing or object in the environment i.e. dirt, water, caves, trees, dead animals, and within everybody living on earth. Its nutrition is from its surroundings.

MRSA is another big bacteria illness, this commonly affect hospitals and is due to lack of hygiene. Food poisoning is a common cause of illness caused by bacteria. This is because bacteria lives on food. If cooked and food has not reached a high enough temperature to kill off bacteria then it can cause the bacteria to rapidly grow and cause sickness to a person. The types of food poisoning are; salmonella, E. coli, norovirus, campylobacter, listeria, clostridium perfringens. These are also linked with viruses too. Also most sexual transmitted diseases are a bacterial infection i.e. syphilis, gonorrhea. Also Lyme disease, this is spread by the bite of a deer ticks most common around wooded, rural areas.

Viruses cause chicken pox and flue.’’ (Hillendale Health n.d) Viruses can also cause Measles, Influenza and common cold.…
