OverviewAI-generated

Bacteria are a kingdom within the domain of prokaryotes, classified under the parent taxa Biota and Monera. They are instances of taxa and subclasses of microorganisms. The International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes governs their naming. Their temporal range began in the Archean, approximately 3500 million years ago. They reproduce through cell division, and their taxonomic type is Bacillus.

These organisms inhabit marine, brackish, and freshwater environments. They are considered accepted taxa. The group has been described in sources such as the Brockhaus and Efron Encyclopedic Dictionary, The Nuttall Encyclopædia, and the Granat Encyclopedic Dictionary. They are associated with bacterial infectious diseases. Records indicate their presence in Mexico and the United States, with institutions including CIIDIR-IPN and UAM.

Il termine Bacteria (batteri), in microbiologia e biologia, indica un regno comprendente microrganismi unicellulari, procarioti, in precedenza chiamati anche schizomiceti. Le loro dimensioni sono solitamente dell'ordine di pochi micrometri, ma possono variare da circa 0,2 μm dei micoplasmi fino a 30 μm di alcune spirochete. Particolarissimo il caso del batterio Thiomargarita magnifica, il quale raggiunge 2 cm di lunghezza. Secondo la tassonomia proposta da Robert Whittaker nel 1969, assieme alle cosiddette "alghe azzurre" o "cianoficee", oggi più correttamente chiamate cianobatteri, i batteri costituivano il regno delle monere.La classificazione proposta da Thomas Cavalier-Smith (2003) riconosce invece due domini: Prokaryota (comprendente i regni archaea e bacteria) ed Eukaryota (comprendente tutti gli eucarioti, sia monocellulari sia ). Alcuni batteri vivono a spese di altri organismi e sono responsabili di danni più o meno gravi all'uomo, alle piante e agli animali. Nell'uomo provocano, per esempio, malattie quali peste, colera, lebbra, polmonite, tetano e difterite, fino a cento anni fa spesso mortali e oggi efficacemente combattute con l'uso dei farmaci. Altri batteri invece sono utili per l'essere umano, per esempio andando a costituire il microbiota umano.
