Bacterial Infections What are bacteria and where are they found? Bacteria are minute, single celled organisms found throughout the living and non-living world, in soil,in plants and located within or on the bodies of animals and people. Bacteria are larger than viruses but smaller than living cells. Unlike viruses, bacteria contain all the information and machinery necessary to grow and reproduce themselves, and therefore do not need to live inside cells as viruses do. Bacteria reproduce by growing in size and then dividing, thus doubling their population. Under favourable conditions this may only take 30 minutes. When conditions are less … Continue reading

Viral Infections What are viruses? Viruses are infectious agents, and the most common human ailments are due to viral infections. Viruses are extremely minute organisms (much smaller than bacteria) that contain all the information needed to reproduce themselves, but have very little of the necessary machinery. In order to replicate themselves, viruses need to enter living cells and’hijack’ the machinery these cells normally use for making more of their own components. Viral in- formation is then used to direct the cellular machinery to produce viruses rather than cell materials. The human body harbours hundreds of different types of virus, most of which … Continue reading
