Look out! Theres something on this page that can make you sick. Its huge, its brightly colored... ITS A GERM!

In real life, germs are itty-bittyway too small for you to see even with a magnifying glass. So what exactly are they?

E. coli

Germs are tiny things that can live on or inside your body and cause disease. These microscopic monsters are hard to imagine because we cant see them. But with special magnifying equipment and some dye to make their parts show up, we can! Who would have imagined they would be so interesting and beautiful to look at?

Bacteria

Have you ever had a cavity? An ear infection? Strep throat? If so, bacterial germs were likely to blame.

Bacteria can be found pretty much everywhere: they are the potty germs, the dirt germs, the germs on and inside your body. In fact, you have more bacteria than cells in your body! Alarmed? Dont be. Most types of bacteria arent bad to have around. The ones that are bad, we call germs.

What do good bacteria do They have important jobs Some live in our large - photo 9

What do good bacteria do? They have important jobs. Some live in our large intestines where they help us digest and make vitamins from the food we eat. Others occupy our skin like a silent army. They take up space so germs that can make us sick dont have room to move in.

Bacteria are not the smallest germs, but they are small. They are only one cell big. About 31,800 E. coli bacteria would fit on the surface of the period at the end of this sentence. Bodies of bacteria have different shapes, but many are round, hot dogshaped, or wormlike and squiggly.
