Sure! Three pathogenic bacteria and their respective shapes are:
- Escherichia coli (E. coli) - rod-shaped
- Streptococcus pyogenes - spherical (cocci)
- Mycobacterium tuberculosis - rod-shaped (bacilli)

Are bacteria a biological hazard?
No, Bacteria are everywhere and life could not exist as we know it without them. Thus in general bacteria are not a biological hazard.However, some types of bacteria are pathogenic (they can cause diseases). These species of bacteria are a biological hazard.
Why is naturally occurring transformation beneficial to bacteria?
Transformation could allow the organism to become pathogenic, allows microorganism to develop new characteristics or abilities and to acquire new genes.
What causes pasteurization?
Pasteurization is caused by the heat treatment process applied to food and beverages to eliminate pathogenic microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses, and parasites. This helps to extend the shelf life of the product and ensure its safety for consumption.
What are the three basic shapes of bacteria?
The three main shapes for bacteria are coccus, bacillus, and spiral:Spherical or spheroidal shaped; rod shaped; and the spirochetes - spiral forms:Rod shaped (bacilli)Round shaped (cocci)and Spiral shaped (spirelli):Spirilla= spiralCocci = sphericalBacilli = rod.
What is an example of a non harmful bacteria?
If I understand your question correctly, the body needs a certain amount of bacteria and contains what is called "normal flora". This is the bacteria that our bodies naturally contain and need.Normal Flora is not pathogenic, meaning it cannot make you ill in any way.Yeast its in breadActivia YogurtAcidophilus hepls us digest foodNitrifying Bacteria keeps ammonia levels downThere you go all I could find!
Is it safe to eat hamburger not fully cooked?
No, hamburger that is not cooked to 160°F could harbor pathogenic bacteria.

If someone has been diagnosed with an E. coli bacteria is it still possible that they could have Lyme disease?
Human intestines contain an inherent strain of E.coli. This strain of the bacteria are not pathogenic to humans. Therefore, just finding E.coli is not indicative of any disease unless the strain of the bacteria is found out and is shown to be pathogenic or toxic.
What happens to Bacteria that make it into the digestive tract?
Bacteria begin to colonise the gut soon after birth, they play a key role in training the immune system to recognise pathogenic and non-pathogenic bacteria. Just having the bacteria there prevents other pathogenic species from taking up the same space and so prevents some diseases. They also produce some vitamins notably biotin and vitamin K and some ferment carbohydrate foods which we could not other wise digest turning them in to short chain fatty acids.
Why is naturally occurring transformation beneficial to bacteria?
Transformation could allow the organism to become pathogenic, allows microorganism to develop new characteristics or abilities and to acquire new genes.
What is the advantage of conjugants?
Bacterial conjugation? When two bacteria conjugate one, or both, receive a plasmid from the other containing a few genes. This adds to the bacterial genetic diversity but, more importantly, these few genes could confer resistance to pathogenic agencies that one bacteria has now given the other bacteria.
Can biosensors detect non-pathogens?
Biosensors can be made to detect almost anything. You could design a biosensor to detect a non-pathogenic bacteria but there would be few people who would want to buy it.
What is wrong with leaving hamburger meat out on the table the day before you eat it?
Pathogenic bacteria just love growing at room temperature. So by leaving the meat at room temperature you could be growing the stuff that could make you ill . . . or worse.
Why did Griffith need to show that the heat killed bacteria didn't make the mouse die?
Griffith needed to demonstrate that the heat-killed bacteria could cause disease symptoms in mice when combined with live non-pathogenic bacteria. This was to show the concept of transformation, where genetic material can be transferred between different bacteria, ultimately leading to understanding how genetic information is transmitted.
How does lactobacillus help the digestive system?
bacteria begin to colonise the gut soon after birth, they play a key role in training the immune system to recognise pathogenic and non-pathogenic bacteria. Just having the bacteria there prevents other pathogenic species from taking up the same space and so prevents some diseases.
