Bacterial Spores are a bacterial defensive strategy to survive in harsh environments. Several types of bacteria are capable of using this mechanism. The spores themselves do not cause the disease, they must be first be reactivated to functional bacteria in the proper environment. Bascillis anthasis or more commonly know as anthrax is the most well know due to the potential terrorist threat. The more prevalent bacteria which causes disease is clostridium difficile which reactivates in the colon causing a diarrhea illness usually after someone takes antibiotics which kill off the normal colon bacteria. Up to 5-10% of people carry this in their colon, but this becomes much higher amongst hospitalized patients. There are other spore forming bacteria, but these are not commonly associated with disease.
There are more than 3 diseases caused by endospore producers, but here are a few:
Those are the main ones, but there are a few more that aren't as common.
clostridium tetani, clostridium botulinum,and clostridium perfringens
The most common endospore formers are the genera of Bacillus and Clostridium.
Bacillus
I wish I knew
Ringworm, Athletes Foot, Vaginal yeast infections.
The bacteria has three different shapes that indicates the absence and presence of endorses. All together the oxygen in the environment.
There are more classes of organisms, since it is the most specific of the three.
Unicellular, Monera and Prokaryotes
There isn't just specifically three diseases caused by bacteria.
cancer
The flu,polio,german measles
I wish I knew
cancer heart disease diabetes
HIV, Diabetes and Pancreatitis
Ringworm, Athletes Foot, Vaginal yeast infections.
environmental changes, predators , diseases , competition !
Dispersal can be caused by wind,water,or living things,including humans
The three diseases caused by smoking are: 1) Emphysema 2) Lung cancer 3)Chronic bronchitis
1. (1) Produced by an abnormality in, or a mutation of the genetic code in a single gene; (2) Caused by several abnormal genes (Producing so-called polygenic diseases); or (3) Caused by the abnormal presence or absence of an entire chromosome or by alteration in the structure of chromosomes.
An unhygienic condition can lead to several diseases .. but most common and dangerous one is jaundice .
