WELCOME TO BACTERIA PAGE

 Bacteria are microorganisms, or small organisms, that are able to live anywhere from inside our bodies to almost everywhere around us.  Although many are pathogens, most are harmless and many are actually helpful to us.

To see how small they really are see "HOW BIG IS BIG" and compare bacteria to other microorganisms.
