Why are they called Good/Bad bacteria.

317 viewsBiologyOther

Aside for them being good/bad for our body, do they have names? Like the electric charges making protons having positive charge while electrons having negative charges. I was brushing my teeth knowing I have good and bad bacteria in my mouth, are there too many bacteria to name them with something else?

Its not that they are objectively good or bad, but not all bacteria that live in or on our bodies are harmful. You have thousands of species living in your gut that helps you with digestion for instance.
