Introduction
In this essay I will be talking about microbes, and also some advantages and disadvantage of microbes for human body, and for course some examples, and the most important thing in this essay for me is the environmental effects of the bacteria and microbes.
Microbes are tiny organisms, a single cell (unicellular), cell Cluster or Multicellular. Microbes are very diverse including bacteria, fungi,etc… that can be found in the air, soil, water and in our body, Microbes can always be bad or good, they can make us sick and can help us in many ways.1 2

How do microbes interact with humans?
Because of the presence of microbes in all human life, there is constant interaction between microbes and humans. The bacteria in the body are became …show more content…

How can bacterias help the environment?
We all know that the bacterias can cause a lot of problem to us like diseases, deaths etc… but bacteria is a very important thing for our environment in this days. For example Cleaning oil spills, Cleaning pollution and producing electricity, Dwelling Bacteria kills cancer. etc...5

How can Bacteria help cleaning oil spills? Title- Oil Spills
Some type of bacteria are very helpful in cleaning up oil spills. Crude oil is one of the rich sources of food for the bacterias. Also, when an area is filled with a large amount of hydrocarbons (in the form of oil spills, and that is crude oil) and is provided with nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorous, it can becomes breeding ground for the bacteria. Once they clean up the spilled oil these bacteria die a natural death and do not cause any harm to the natural environment.5

    TASK 2 Infectious diseases are the invasion of host organisms, (microbes) which can be invisible to the eyes. The microbes are also known as pathogens. A microbe infects an organism (which is known as the host of the microbe). In a human host, the microorganism causes a disease by either disrupting an important body process or by stimulating the immune system to mount a defensive reaction. The pathogen, interferes with the normal functioning of the host and can lead to chronic wounds, gangrene, loss of an infected limb, and even death.

  • Summary Of The Ultimate Social Network By Jennifer Ackerman

    The author starts by explaining the human microbiome and the research on it. For many years, biologists thought that the human body was able to perform all of its important functions by itself. However, in the past decade, they have found that the human body contains trillions of microorganisms that help with these important processes. In fact, they outnumber human cell 10 to one. At first, microbe research was only focused on harmful pathogens, but recently, biologists have figured out what the most common bacteria in the human body are, and have been trying to figure out the specific functions of theses microorganisms.

Antibiotics work great against bacteria, however they don’t work against viruses. Penicillin was the first antibiotic to be discovered by Alexander Fleming, and it was first used to treat infections. Essentially, these powerful medicines fight bacterial infections, and have the potential to save lives.

Dr. Martin also discusses his hypothesis in which talks about how over use of antibiotics has permanently changed the microbiome that humans live in, causing an increase in more modern diseases. The way Blaser lays the book is more like a journey; he traces his footsteps, and has the readers following the lead anxiously waiting on what he will inform them. There are a lot of doors in Science. Dr. Blaser chose to enter the door where facts and stories are to be learned everyday, in which there is no end, making that the beauty of science.

    Readers not only learn why microbes emerge at these particular stages in human civilization and how they cause lethal infections, diseases, and pandemics, but also how microbes, with their dynamic interactions with humans, impact and shape human life. In addition, Crawford tracks human progress towards understanding the cause of communicable diseases and fighting against the disease-causing microbes with treatments and preventions, which includes antibiotics and vaccinations. In the final chapter of Deadly Companions, Crawford outlines our current situation with evolving pathogenic microbes despite the interference from modern advancement and knowledge. These killer microbes continue to exploit society; especially with poverty, travel, and drug behavior providing opportunities for our deadly companions to

    Of the Enterobacteriaceae family, there are genera that are in the normal human flora. Some species such as K. pneumoniae and E. coli are opportunistic pathogens which can capitalize on weakened host defenses and cause food poisoning (Baron, 1996). S. enterica secrete proteins that help aid in intracellular invasion and proliferation (Hensel, 2009). K. pneumoniae is a part of the normal human mouth, skin, and intestine flora, but can wreak havoc if inhaled (Ryan,

In chapter two “Our Microbial Inheritance” she discussed the relationship of microbes with hunter-gatherers and early settlements; and their relationship to disease. She looks at the impact of microbes on the lives of individuals and the population as a whole. Hunter-gatherers were small groups of people that hunted for food, moving from place to place.

    Being able to identify unknown microbes from systematic testing is what makes the field of microbiology so important, especially in infectious disease control. Using the testing procedure laid out by the microbiology field we are able to identify unknown bacteria present in our everyday lives, and along the way learn a lot about their characteristics that separate them from other types of bacteria. Being able to do this is vital in order for us to understand why microbes are present in certain places, how they are able to grow and what restricts their growth, that way they can be combatted if necessary. These techniques for determining unknowns are also important for isolating and testing infectious disease microbes in order to prevent spreading. Another important aspect of being able to identify unknown microbes is the
