Answer 1

• There is as such no easy way to remember the diseases for all the bacteria. But there are some similarities w.r.t genus . Those similarities are mentioned below.
• Salmonella species causes infections related to intestinal  tract like gastro enteritis , typhoid etc.
• The species term which ends with pneumonia causes infection related to lung.
• E.coli causes gastro intestinal tract infection
• Staphh. causes infection due to release of toxins from the bacteria.
• Neisseria causes Meningitis and meningococcal infections.
• Ricketssia are transffered from animals to humans through skin.
• Bacillus normally doesnot infect human. If in case it does it is related to wound infections.
• Strep. causes pneumonia, throat infections.
• Clostridium causes wide range of infections. from pneumonia to sepsis , enteristis etc.. It depends on the type of clostridium strain.
• Mycobacterium causes Tuberculosis and leprosy - depends on the species of mycobacterium.
