Bacteria (Bubonic Plague) by Javier

Summary: A bacteria in my words is a small, single-celled organism that can possible cause disease. It also can cause disease, but some do help your body. We have a symbiotic relationship with some bacterium on our skin or in our stomach. The Bacteria that I researched to find out what cause the Bubonic plague was Yersinia Pestis. It is a rod-shaped coccobacillus that was the cause three major epidemics. The bubonic plague was the one I talked about. Bacteria can be very dangerous but if you live clean sanitary lifestyle then you will stay bad-bacteria free.

Interesting Facts:

The most interesting thing about the bubonic plague is that it killed 25 million people. That was one-third of Europe's population at the time.

If you were to line up the bacteria end-to-end they would stretch for 10 billion light years, so from here to the edge of the visible universe.

There are ten times the bacteria cells as there are human cells in our body.
