What's the difference between bacteria and yeast?

The most significant difference is that Yeasts are Eukaryotic cells and Bacteria are Prokaryotic cells.

What this basically means is that Yeasts have their DNA contained within a nucleus. Bacteria lack a nucleus and their DNA is more or less "loose" within their cytoplasm (although they do possess some measures to compact it so that it takes up less space.)

Bacteria

Our digestive tract has tons of bacteria. Some are beneficial and promote good health. These are called probiotics (meaning 'for life'). Other bacteria are harmful to our health. These are the bacteria that often require the need for antibiotics (meaning 'against life').

Probiotics are present in many cultured foods such as yogurt and kefir. Humans have consumed these foods for centuries. Much research confirms the multitude of beneficial aspects which probiotics confer to good health. These include:

However, there is also bad bacteria that can overrun out bodies and cause illness and havoc with health. There are several ways bad bacteria can get started. Using too many antibiotics without probiotics can lead to bad bacteria overgrowth. A poor diet can also encourage bad bacteria growth. Poor elimination of waste, chronic constipation, and not enough fiber in the diet can lead to bad bacteria. Here is some info on how diet impacts bacteria growth (a nice article which also promotes their product and not specifically endorsed by this site):

Bad bacteria appears to be much easier to get rid of than yeast overgrowth. Bacteria is characterized by:

aggression, moodiness, irritability, 'anger' for no apparent reason

sleep problems but not with the inappropriate giggling or laughter

really foul smelling stools or body odor (we are talking incredible STENCH); bad breath; stinky sweat

ammonia odor

frequently occurs with constipation (infrequent painful stools, streaking/smearing in underwear, etc); see encopresis/chronic constipation

Yeast

Yeast cells have tough outer shells made up of protein and cellulose. The shells may be several layers think and present a barrier to the commonly used anti-fungal medications and over-the-counter supplements. The strategy of using the yeast fighting enzymes is to decompose or break down the yeast coverings so the yeast dies. Many people dealing with yeast have found that combining an anti-fungal with a yeast enzyme product gives a powerful synergistic effect on yeast. The enzymes breakdown the coating and the anti-fungals can act more quickly and effectively in destroying yeast cells. In addition, protease enzymes can help reduce die-off discomfort because they can further breakdown the waste and residue by the dead yeast cells. You can try giving more proteases if die-off is too uncomfortable, or simply reduce the amount of enzymes and anti-fungals given (go lower-n-slower).

Fungus Vs Yeast

Yeasts are larger than bacteria.

the bacteria is certain type of single celled microorganisms characterised by the lack of membrane-bound organelles

Yeast is a monocellular fungus.

You can say also that reptiles and canines are single-headed living organisems, but please agree that there are substancial differences .
