Basra University is organizing a training course on the role of bacteria in soil and water, as well as their impact on human health.

The Marine Science Center organized a training course entitled:

"The Role of Pathogenic and Beneficial Bacteria in the Soil and Water Environment on Human Health."

Delivered by Dr. Ahmed Jari Shibib, the course aimed to improve understanding of the role of bacteria in soil and water environments and their impact on human health, whether through harmful bacteria that cause disease or beneficial bacteria that play a vital role in maintaining environmental balance and human health.

The course included an explanation of the vital role bacteria play in nutrient cycles such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and carbon and how these cycles affect soil and plant health. The course also identified the types of bacteria that cause disease in humans when water or soil is contaminated. It explained how these bacteria are transmitted, how to prevent them, and the benefits of friendly bacteria found in soil and water. These bacteria improve digestion and boost immunity. They also play a role in producing healthy food, improving environmental health, and reducing health risks associated with pollution.
