When Are Bacteria Parasites?
While some bacteria are parasites, not all bacteria are. Neither are all parasites bacteria. Parasites can be any organism that uses another as a host, and sometimes that parasitic organism is bacteria. It depends on the life cycle of the parasitic organism and how it uses the host. The bacteria that causes strep throat acts as a parasite in the human body because it uses the host to multiply and eventually spread to another organism.
Examples of Parasitic Bacteria
If bacteria can infect a host, multiply inside the body and eventually spread to another organism, it exhibits the behavior of a parasite. Many bacterial diseases do this. In particular, food-borne illness such as salmonella exhibit this behavior. Other examples of bacteria that act as parasites are those which cause sexually transmitted diseases. The bacteria that causes syphilis and gonorrhea use the natural function of human hosts to multiply and spread. Additional bacteria that act as parasites include those that cause the diseases cholera, small pox and the Bubonic plague.
