Why are they called Good/Bad bacteria.

319 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?

Absolutely they have names, its just that there is more than one kind of each. They are categories. The comparison to electrical charges doesnt work as there is only one charge carrying particle thats positive, and one thats negative. Theres a whole host of different kinds in every part of your body. If you want to research the topic, look into the human microbiome.
