Why are they called Good/Bad bacteria.

323 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?

They do have names, but the names themselves don’t usually indicate that they’re bad or good. Good bacteria can cause problems if they end up places where they aren’t supposed to be. One such example is E. Coli, which causes problems if it ends up being ingested. This can happen from food contamination.
