Spoilage and Pathogenic
Reduces quality (make food go bad)
Spoilage bacteria
Disease causing
Pathogenic
Cell causing illness
Infection
Toxins produced by bacteria which causes illness (very fast reaction but short lived)
Intoxication
T or F: All you need is one bacteria to spread. What is it called?
1 → 2 → 4 → 8 millions
