Detailed explanation-1: -Each species of bacteria has a predilection to infect certain organs and not others.
Detailed explanation-2: -Most pathogens are capable of infecting multiple hosts. Genetic diversity and ecological opportunities for cross-species transmission favor generalism (Woolhouse et al. 2001).
Detailed explanation-3: -Both enveloped and non-enveloped viruses are capable of interacting with commensal or pathogenic bacteria, but the means by which this occurs is virus-specific.
Detailed explanation-4: -Did you know that bacteria can still get sick, just like us? In fact, most viruses in the world infect bacteria, not people. What happens when a bacterium gets infected by a virus? Well, just like us, many bacteria have their own immune systems that help defend against infections.
