“Bacteria lurking” usually refers to the presence of bacteria in an environment, meaning that they are concealed or present in a way that is not immediately apparent. Bacteria are minute creatures that may be found almost wherever on Earth, including soil, water, air, and the bodies of plants and animals.
In some cases, “bacteria lurking” may refer to the presence of harmful bacteria in places where they can cause harm, such as contaminated food or water, surfaces that have not been properly cleaned or sanitized, or environments where they can cause infections or illnesses.
Correct hygiene habits, such as hand washing, correct food handling, and frequent surface cleaning and disinfection, can assist to reduce the danger of hazardous germs in our surroundings.
