George M. Church

Every cell in our body, whether it's a bacterial cell or a human cell, has a genome. You can extract that genome - it's kind of like a linear tape - and you can read it by a variety of methods. Similarly, like a string of letters that you can read, you can also change it. You can write, you can edit it, and then you can put it back in the cell.

Where there's water on Earth, you find life as we know it. So if you find water somewhere else, it becomes a remarkable draw to look closer to see if life of any kind is there, even if it's bacterial, which would be extraordinary for the field of biology.

Gerhard Domagk

The problem of chemotherapy of bacterial infections could be solved neither by the experimental medical research worker nor by the chemist alone, but only by the two together working in very close cooperation over many years.

Michael Specter

We are inhabited by as many as ten thousand bacterial species; these cells outnumber those which we consider our own by ten to one, and weigh, all told, about three pounds - the same as our brain.

The less said about Inner Space Fungus the better. I've still got the tapes in my house, but I'm afraid to play them back for fear that bacterial growth will take over my house.

In my lab, we are always thinking about how cells, bacterial cells, can talk to each other and then organize themselves into enormous groups that function in unison.

Sarah Harding

Always cleanse your skin at night. So much bacterial build-up happens over the day so at night you really need to take your time and cleanse properly.

Norman Swan

We never got rid of HIV but we have great treatments for it, we never got rid of bacterial infections but we've got antibiotics.

Craig Venter

Carole Lartigue led the effort to actually transplant a bacterial chromosome from one bacteria to another.

Kurt Cobain

I sing and play the guitar, and I'm a walking, talking bacterial infection.

Use 'bacterial' to specify illnesses caused by bacteria, different from viral or fungal.

Health Context

'Bacterial' should not be confused with 'viral', as they refer to different types of pathogens.

Not Interchangeable

‘Bacterial resistance’ refers to bacteria's ability to survive drugs meant to kill them.

Resistance Awareness

Mentioning 'bacterial' in industrial contexts usually refers to positive uses of bacteria.

Industrial Use

In biology, 'bacterial' is often used to describe processes bacteria perform or undergo.

Bio Processes

In medicine, 'bacterial' pinpoints the origin of medical concerns to bacteria.

Medical Specificity

Use 'bacterial' to describe specific subtypes of bacteria, especially when discussing antibiotics.

Strain Identification

 The rise in temperature can slow bacteria and help your immune system destroy pathogens. Sleep lets your body channel more energy towards fighting infection. When you stop eating, your liver can take up much of the iron in your blood, and since iron is essential for bacterial survival, that effectively starves them.

The surprising reason...

 cellular material of viruses bacteria and plants and animals equals and should there be different bars for tinkering with various life-forms for the sake of research versus education versus entertainment and if there are more bacterial cells in our body than human cells and if we can grow human cells in

When technology...

 produce important nutrients, regulate the immune system, and protect against harmful germs. We don't yet have the blueprint for exactly which good bacteria a robust gut needs, but we do know that it's important for a healthy microbiome to have a variety of bacterial species.

How the food you eat...

 Since blood vessels and nerves in our teeth are enclosed deep within, at this stage, the expanding cavity doesn't hurt. But if the damage extends beyond the dentin, the bacterial invasion progresses causing excruciating pain as the nerves become exposed.

What causes cavities? -...

 This isn't unusual. All animals have protective immune systems. But horseshoe crab amebocytes are exceptionally sensitive to bacterial endotoxins. Endotoxins are molecules from the cell walls of certain bacteria, including E. coli.

Why do we harvest...

 helping digestion and immunity. But there are a few bad apples that can cause harmful infections, from minor inconveniences to deadly epidemics. Fortunately, there are amazing medicines designed to fight bacterial infections.

What causes antibiotic...

 Because the bacteria can't adhere to it, they can't form colonies. And this is something that helps sharks to resist bacterial infections. And there's also another organ that helps protect sharks from disease-- their liver.

The Shark Immune System...

 A slightly different type of stone made of the minerals magnesium ammonium phosphate, or struvite, can be caused by bacterial infection. And even rarer stones can result from genetic disorders

What causes kidney...

 they built up over centuries by colonies of microscopic bacterial cells now although these colonies are rare by most definitions bacteria are the dominant form of life on our planet on every

 I was in the hospital on life support with less than a two percent chance of living. It wasn't until days later as I lay in a coma that the doctors diagnosed me with bacterial meningitis,
