Target intelligence / Profile preview

Bacteria

Molecular classification: Prokaryote

Overview

Bacteria are microscopic, single-celled organisms belonging to the domain Bacteria. They are prokaryotes, lacking a membrane-bound nucleus. They are ubiquitous, found in virtually every environment. While many are harmless or beneficial, some are pathogenic, causing diseases through various mechanisms such as toxin production and tissue invasion.

Mechanism of action

Varies depending on the pathogenic bacteria; includes rapid reproduction, toxin production, and direct invasion/destruction of tissues.
