This flashcard defines bacteria as a vast kingdom of unicellular prokaryotic microorganisms. It highlights their dual role as causes of infectious diseases and as commensal microbiota, noting their potential locations within host cells.
Un vasto regno di microrganismi procarioti unicellulari, alcune specie dei quali causano malattie infettive nell'uomo e negli animali, mentre altre costituiscono la maggior parte del microbiota simbiotico del corpo. I microrganismi patogeni di questo regno possono vivere negli spazi extracellulari, o all'interno delle cellule in vescicole o nel citosol.
