👉 Parhyposmata are a group of bacteria that typically live in soil, such as those found on rocks or in cracks and crevices. They are characterized by their large numbers, which can be hundreds to thousands of individuals per gram of material, making them difficult to identify without a microscope. These microorganisms can cause diseases like dysentery, where they can enter the bloodstream and spread infection from one organ to another, leading to severe symptoms.
