Use bacteria to cause diarrhea to develop

According to The Daily Mail, bacteria that live in the digestive tract , causing diarrhea and miscarriage, can produce electricity. It is Listeria monocytogenes , which generates electricity during the process of removing waste products from their cells. It is known that Listeria monocytogenes is an arbitrary anaerobic Gram-positive bacterium. This is a poisonous bacterium, with 20% to 30% of clinical infections causing death of Listeriosis.

According to health experts, although rare but Listeria infection is a poisoning situation can be very serious.Listeria monocytogenes, commonly found in unpasteurized dairy products , soft cheeses, cold meats, vegetables and smoked and canned seafood. Statistics show that about 20% of patients with Listeria monocytogenes infection die.

Scientists at the University of California, USA, think it is possible to turn these bacteria into 'bio-batteries'. At the same time, other bacteria can be used in the same way. Experts have tried to create these batteries, connecting electrical wires to boxes containing bacteria.

It is known that many bacteria produce electricity only when they need it. For example, electricity may arise when oxygen levels decrease. If people learn to control this process, the battery can be activated by a signal.
