Impact of Bad Bacteria
Although there are much more good bacteria, there are still lots of type of bad bacteria. Common ones are e. Coli which comes from food and causes food poising, Streptococcus which can cause strep throat. and much more. Lots of them can be serious but most bad bacteria can be treated with antibiotics. A certain bacteria that is resistant is KPC. It lead to an outbreak that killed several people. If I learned anything about bad bacteria, it has to be that washing your hands can go a long way.

Impact of Good Bacteria
Without bacteria, people would lose lots of advantages or maybe die. The impact of good bacteria is major in human life. Some bacteria like Gut bacteria help with digestion. Other bacteria like Lactobacillus Acidophilus help to make foods such as yogurt because it breaks down the sugars in dairy products. When I first thought about bacteria, I always thought they were bad.

Bad Fungi
While some fungi are edible such as some mushrooms, there are still bad fungi. Popular conditions such as Athlete's Foot and Ringworm are caused by fungi. There are about 1.5 million types of fungi but only 300 of them are actually deadly.
