SAIN Resources about Bacteria

Bacteria are very small living organisms made of only one cell . They are present just about everywhere : the air, the soil, and the skin, for example. Many of them are microbes that cause diseases (rhinitis, listeriosis, and others), but others are very helpful to humans.

There are 77 resources available.
