This difference is a confounding factor and as the prevalence of the different types of bacteria varies considerably the size of these groups vary.

Different antibiotics are used for different types of bacteria, so merely taking one does not mean it will cure an ailment.

Air sampled during 17 weeks in 2006 over San Antonio and Austin in Texas yielded 1,800 different types of bacteria.
And if an antibiotic is "broad spectrum," meaning it works on many different types of bacteria, wider use shortens its commercial life because it quickens the pace at which bacteria develop resistance.
Analyzing these "bar codes" allows researchers to gauge the number of different types of bacteria in a sample, even if some of those bacteria have never been cultured or sequenced before.
A range of penicillins thus became available to treat diseases caused by different types of bacteria, including staphylococci, streptococci, pneumococci, gonococci, and the spirochaetes of syphilis.
