bacteria
The next time you look in a mirror,
think about this:
In many ways
you're more microbe than human.
There are 10 times more cells
from microorganisms
like bacteria
and fungi
in and on our bodies
than there are human cells.
Scientists increasingly think
that these microorganisms
have a huge influence
on our health.
Without them,
our bodies don't seem
to do as well.
We don't seem to be as healthy
and might actually get sick more often.

tuberculosis TB
Tuberculosis (TB)
is a bacterial infection
spread through inhaling tiny droplets
from the coughs or sneezes
of an infected person.
It is a serious condition,
but can be cured
with proper treatment.
TB mainly affects the lungs.
However,
it can affect any part of the body,
including the glands,
bones and nervous system.

phenoxymethylpenicillin
Phenoxymethylpenicillin is a type of penicillin.
It's an antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections,
including ear, chest, throat and skin infections.
It can also be used to prevent infections
if you have sickle cell disease,
or if you have had chorea (a movement disorder),
rheumatic fever, or your spleen removed.
The medicine is only available on prescription.
It comes as tablets or as a liquid that you drink.

What is E. coli?
Escherichia coli (E. coli)
is a type of bacteria common
in human and animal intestines,
and forms part of the normal gut flora
(the bacteria that exist in the bowel).
There are a number
of different types of E. coli
and while the majority are harmless
some can cause serious food poisoning
and serious infection.
For example,
E. coli bacteria
are a common cause of cystitis,
an infection of the bladder
that occurs when there is a spread
of the bacteria from the gut
to the urinary system.
Women are more susceptible
to urinary tract infection by E. coli
because of the close proximity
of the urethra and the anus.

whooping cough
The symptoms of whooping cough
usually take between six and 20 days
to appear
after infection
with the Bordetella pertussis bacterium.
This delay is known
as the incubation period.
Whooping cough
tends to develop in stages,
with mild symptoms occurring first,
followed by a period
of more severe symptoms,
before improvement begins.

Salmonella Typhi bacteria > typhoid fever
Typhoid fever is a life-threatening illness
caused by Salmonella Typhi bacteria.
Paratyphoid fever is a life-threatening illness
caused by Salmonella Paratyphi bacteria.
(...)
These diseases are spread
through sewage contamination of food or water
and through person-to-person contact.
People who are currently ill
and people who have recovered
but are still passing the bacteria
in their poop (stools)
can spread Salmonella Typhi
or Salmonella Paratyphi.

tetanus bacteria
and diptheria bacteria
vaccines
Diphtheria is a highly contagious
and potentially fatal infection
that can affect the nose and throat,
and sometimes the skin.
- April 30, 2020.
https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/diphtheria/
Tetanus is a serious
but rare condition
caused by bacteria
getting into a wound.
- April 30, 2020.
https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/tetanus/
"Vaccines"
against diphtheria and tetanus,
comparable as prophylactics
with Jenner's
vaccine against smallpox,
have been discovered
at the Pasteur Institute here
by a French chemist,
M. G. Ramon.
They are harmless,
do not cause
the slightest reaction,
and confer an immunity
even more lasting
than that of calf-lymph
against small-pox.
It is suggested
that all infants
over twelve months' old
should henceforth go through
a second vaccination for diphtheria,
and that all soldiers on active service
should be vaccinated against tetanus,
as they are now against typhus.
