Test Your Knowledge about Pathogenic Bacteria by taking this trivia quiz. Bacteria exist in two forms and these are the beneficial kind and the pathogenic one which causes diseases to mammals. In this quiz, we focus on the second part. See if you can pass the test and identify dome pathogenic bacteria and the dangers they pose when introduced to the system.
