Bacteria are small organisms or living things that can be found in all natural environments .They are made of a single cell. Most bacteria can be seen only with a microscope. Bacteria do not have most of the structures found in the cell of other things. They are a lot simpler and smaller then all other cells of other  living things . Bacteria can feed and send out waste through their cell walls . Most bacteria make more by diving down the middle to form two sparate cells. They each dived again to form of four cells. Through this process bitlions of bacteria may form a single bacterium in only 24 hours . Bacteria that  cause disease  can get into the human body through the nose  the mouth and cuts  in the skin. Once inside these bacteria reproduce very fast and make you sick. This is called an infection. The infection may result from the bacteria themselves or their poison.
