I don’t read anything by anyone who doesn’t know when to say “bacteria” and when to say “bacterium.”

For those who do not understand your comment.

Bacteria is the plural of bacterium, and that saying “a bacteria” is incorrect. It is correct to say “The soil sample contains millions of bacteria,” and “Tetanus is caused by a bacterium.”
