Some types of bacteria can cause diseases in humans, such as cholera, diptheria, dysentery, bubonic plague, pneumonia, tuberculosis (TB), typhoid, and many more. If the human body is exposed to bacteria that the body does not recognize as helpful, the immune system will attack them.

GOOD EFFECTS

Everything you eat passes through your gastrointestinal system. This is important because your colon is lined with millions of bacteria that grow, live and metabolize to help prevent disease. These bacteria fight foreign substances, help prevent the growth of harmful bacteria, maintain your mucosal immune system, help lower serum cholesterol levels and regulate metabolism. You might have heard of gut flora, which are the live microorganisms in your intestines, are beneficial to your health.

BAD EFFECTS

Out of the 48 million that do contract a foodborne illness, 128,000 end up in the hospital. Escherichia coli, also known as E. coli, can be both good and bad. While E.coli does live in your intestines, it is also found in the intestines of animals and the food you eat. However, some strands of E. coli can be pathogenic, leading to diarrhea, respiratory illness, urinary tract infection and other illnesses. Salmonella, Clostridium perfringens, listeria monocytogenes and staphyloccus aureus are bacteria associated with the leading causes of illness, hospitalization and death in America.
