Solution
Pathogenic Bacteria:
Bacteria are most often safe and useful, although some are harmful.
Pathogenic bacteria include bacteria that can cause infection when they pass through the body and can spread by water, air, soil, and personal contact.
Pseudomonas:
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one type of bacteria found in the environment.
It is found in common foods, particularly vegetables at significant levels.
Foodborne pathogens are bacteria that are found in food and cause serious illnesses such as food poisoning.
These microscopic organisms develop in a large range of temperatures, and contamination is a serious hazard in both ordinary and refrigerated foods, reducing both shelf life and quality.
