    The document discusses different types of bacteria including spore forming bacteria, bacteria that produce toxin waste, and useful bacteria. Spore forming bacteria can form spores that allow them to resist heat, cold, chemicals and dry conditions. Bacteria that produce toxin waste can create dangerous toxins during multiplication that cannot be destroyed by cooking and can cause food poisoning. Some bacteria are useful, for example in producing cheese, yogurt and breaking down waste.

    can cause sickness.

    These bacteria cause in almost every


    case severe food poisoning or infection in the human body
    (can be internal as well as external). In some cases people
    can die from this. Bacteria can very easily multiply
    themselves and also very fast.

    Bacteria can be divided into several groups;


    - spore forming bacteria
    - non-spore forming bacteria
    - bacteria that does not produce any toxin waste
    - bacteria that does produce toxin waste
    - useful bacteria
    - bacteria that causes food spoilage
    - bacteria that causes sickness or illness

    Spore forming bacteria

    Certain bacteria form in bad environmental conditions


    spores, that is like a camouflage of the bacteria. It protects
    itself against dying. It transforms its “body” into a endospore
    and in that way they can resist heat, cold, sour or sweet.
    Even against chemicals and dry environments. These group
    of bacteria are the most dangerous to humans, as we cannot
    kill them. Once they are in spore form, they do not multiply,
    but once the conditions becomes better, they transform
    again from the spore into the bacteria and continue their
    damage. So, sometimes by cleaning with heavy chemicals,
    or by heating food up to even more than 100 gr. C, or by
    freezing food below 20 gr. C, we still cannot kill them.

    Bacteria that produces toxin waste

    Some bacteria produce during multiplying themselves a


    dangerous toxin (poison). This toxin is also in the food where
    the bacteria is. The toxin cannot be destroyed by any
    cooking method. The toxin is in most cases very neutral in
    flavor and cannot be found without a microscope. The
    damage that the toxin can cause, is food poisoning in
    general, illness and in the worst case even death if not taken
    the proper care.

    Useful bacteria

    Bacteria can be very useful to us. Some examples are


    cheese, yogurt and sour kraut. Also the bacteria that are in
    the water under the ground are very useful in breaking down
    certain types of waste. They breakdown dead animals, plants
    and clean the water that humans uses to swim. However, if
    the water is seriously polluted, than the bacteria will die as
    well, and the cleaning of the water cannot continue by the
    bacteria, which causes the dangerous “botulism”. But, even
    the work of these bacteria is very useful to us, we still cannot
