    What comes to your mind when you hear the word


    Bacteria?
    ❖ Not all Bacteria Cause disease
    ➢ Most bacterial species cannot cause disease

    ❖ Many species play beneficial role


    ❖ Production of antibiotics and foodstuffs
    ❖ Decompose organic waste
    ❖ Produce industrial chemicals such as ethyl alcohol and
    acetone
    ❖ Produce fermented foods such as vinegar, cheese, and
    bread
