The energy patterns of MRSA, staphylococcus aureus, streptococcus pneumoniae and pyrogenes,

Many more of the bacteria associated with Lyme’s disease are available in the Lyme Plus Kit.
Bacteria are abundant in air, soil and water. Some are beneficial (e.g. those living in intestine and breaking
down food) and some are harmless to humans. Bacteria that are harmful are known as pathogens.
Three main categories: cocci (spherical), bacilli (rod-shaped) and spirochaetes or spirilla (spiral-shaped).
Bacteria can grow in an inert medium. Susceptible to antibiotics.
Commensal = a bacteria which normally lives in or on the body and is considered medically to be harmless
Nosocomial infection: contracted in hospital
In the popular mind viruses are often seen as being more deadly than bacteria, but most of the most
intransigent illnesses are as a result of bacterial infection.
It is easy to think solely of bacteria in relation to acute infection, food poisoning and respiratory problems,
but bacteria can have much wider implications than that. For example, streptococcus mutans is implicated in
tooth decay, and helicobacter pylori in peptic ulcers.
Some bacteria are beneficial. There are bacteria in the gut that produce some B vitamins and vitamin K.
Some bacteria provide a protective acid mantle on the skin.
