They can
live within the soil or inside the ocean or in a swamp. Bacterial cells have no nucleus and
other organelles (sub-units within a cell with a specific function) bound by a
membrane, except for ribosomes. They can be dangerous, such as when they cause
infection, or beneficial, as in the process of fermentation (such as in wine)
and that of decomposition. Even though that they are dangerous to human health
, it can still be needed by the body for an essential healthy life . Beneficial bacteria is necessary to properly digest food
(especially starches) and to absorb nutrients good bacteria, also called
probiotics, are like to bacteria that reside naturally in some ones body.
Probiotics can beneficial to your
health, and you can find them in yogurt or in some other dietary supplements. Probiotics
have also been proposed into suppositories and creams for some uses.

Although
there are clinical evidence that the different kinds of good bacteria may
address some medical conditions, don’t use probiotics or some dietary
supplement without first consulting your doctor.

Now, let’s look at the top 4 essential bacteria’s needed by the body for a healthy living
LACTOBACILLUS: It is a long,
slender and rod-shaped, anaerobic bacterium of the genus Lactobacillus that
produces plenty amounts of lactic acid in the body. There are more
than 80 species of the Lactobacillus genus of probiotics. One of these species,
acidophilus, is the most frequently used good bacterium, according to the
University of Maryland Medical Center. Lactobacillus acidophilus, also called
L. acidophilus, resides in the intestines where it helps in the digestion of
food . A bacterium normally found in the mouth, intestinal tract,
and vagina. Lactobacillus can also live in fermenting products, such as yogurt.

BIFIDOBACTERIUM: Researchers have used a
mouse model to show that a particular strain of the probiotic Bifidobacterium
bifidum can help to repair stomach ulcers caused by Helicobacter pylori. Bifidobacterium is a genus of
gram-positive, nonmotile, often branched anaerobic bacteria. They are
ubiquitous inhabitants of the gastrointestinal tract, vagina and mouth (B.
dentium) of mammals, including humans.

STREPTOCOCCUS : Streptococcus pneumoniae is a Gram-positive diplococcus with a well-formed capsule.
Streptococcus genus, Streptococcus salivarius, may improve symptoms of
halitosis, the medical term for bad breath. The probiotic Streptococcus
thermophilus is a starter culture in the manufacturing process of yogurt,
mozzarella cheese and other fermented dairy products, according to the European
Bioinformatics institute. Streptococcus is a genus of coccus (spherical) Gram-positive bacteria belonging
to the phylum Firmicutes and the order Lactobacillales (lactic acid bacteria).

BACILLUS COAGULANS : According to MedlinePlus, the Bacillus coagulans bacteria is a
probiotic available as a dietary supplement that people use for various health
concerns. Bacillus coagulans may be useful in the treatment of gastrointestinal
disorders such as diarrhea associated with an antibiotic regimen, traveler’s
and children’s diarrhea, inflammatory bowel disease and irritable bowel
syndrome. Bacillus coagulans is a
lactic acid-forming bacterial species within the genus Bacillus.
