Why are they called Good/Bad bacteria.

321 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?

Your body is mostly made up of not your cells. Most bacteria are harmless meaning they dont have major impact your daily running of the body. All bacteria complete chemical reactions as part of life process. Some reactions are beneficial like breaking down starches into sugars your body can process or making chemical compounds that your body can’t produce by itself. Some reactions are bad because they disrupt your body process.
