The type of pathogen that will be reviewed here is the bacteria. Research has established that bacteria have various benefits and detriments as well. The major reason for choosing bacteria as the pathogen for study is to identify the environment that is suitable for bacterial existence and activity; the benefits and usage of bacteria; harms caused by bacteria and how they can be avoided; the various types of bacteria and their specific features; and the diseases they cause and the available preventive and treatment options. There is a big discussion on whether the benefits of bacteria outweigh their detriments. The paper will ensure that a thorough discussion is given and then a conclusion will be arrived at based on extensive research. The conclusion will denote whether bacteria are important or more harmful to the human race.
