Say for example you press your finger hard against something, desk, laptop or phone would that pressure “smoosh” the bacteria or any other microscopic organisms?
Yes. I’m not sure if a finger will do it, but you can definitely smoosh. One of the ways you break open cells in the lab is by using a machine called a french press that’s basically a power smoosher. It pushes the bacteria down through a tiny hole under pressure and they pop.
