Most bacteria is found in food. It is mainly in poultry or beef. It also can cause vomiting, nausea, and fever.

It is also called lockjaw. It affects the body's nerves and muscles. It is caused when a bacteria called Clostridium tetani gets into a cut. The bacteria is usually found in soil.

My bacteria is Streptococcus Viridian and it is found in chains. When it is on blood agar plates it has a green coloration. Viridians in the latin word for green and that's how it got it's name.
