Bacteria are single-celled prokaryotic microorganisms that lack a membrane-bound nucleus and are found in virtually every environment on Earth, from soil and water to the bodies of plants and animals. They play essential roles in nutrient cycling, decomposition, fermentation, and digestion, while certain species act as pathogens capable of causing infection and disease. Studying bacteria spans their structure, genetics, metabolism, ecology, and their interactions with hosts and the environment. This peer-reviewed, open-access research collection reflects the broad study of bacteria. Published work has isolated potentially pathogenic bacteria from domestic dog stool in an urban setting, assessed the bacteriological quality of groundwater and borehole water in Nigerian communities, and characterized antimicrobial resistance and biofilm formation in Salmonella Typhi from typhoid cases and carriers. Additional studies have confirmed Staphylococci strains isolated in a hospital setting, explored the anti-inflammatory potential of probiotic bacteria in fermented foods, and evaluated bacterial populations associated with human saliva. Together these contributions span bacterial identification, environmental and clinical microbiology, probiotics, and resistance, illustrating how bacterial science connects molecular biology with public health, food safety, and environmental monitoring.
