•We are conditioned to think of We are conditioned to think of bacteria as invisable, potentially bacteria as invisable, potentially harmful little creatures!!harmful little creatures!!
•Actually, relatively few species of Actually, relatively few species of bacteria cause disease in humans, bacteria cause disease in humans, animals and plants!!animals and plants!!
•After this course you will realize After this course you will realize that without bacteria, much of life that without bacteria, much of life as we know it would not be possible as we know it would not be possible !!!!
