Blog 5 Bacteria, oooohhhhhh

A good bacteria I found is lactic acid bacteria.
Lactic acid bacteria converts lactose into lactic acid which can be easierly used by the body.
Some people though have a poor lactose tolerance so the ingestion of active lactic acid bacteria helps them convert the lactose easier.

A bad bacteria I found was salmonella.
Salmonella is a motile enterobacteria that can be passed from warm blooded humans and non-human animals. Most infections of salmonella are caused by the inguestion of infected food. The bacteria causes such illnesses as typhoid fever, paratyphoid fever, and the foodborne illness (food poisoning). The first two illnesses can be deadly to humans and animals.
