Explanation:

Based on the provided text, sentence (7) states that if there are millions of cells on a surface, "0.1% is still enough to make you sick," which represents a tiny fraction of the total bacteria. Sentences (8) and (9) explain that for highly virulent bacteria like E. coli, a small amount is sufficient to cause "severe illness and death," particularly in vulnerable individuals.

Answer:

1. a tiny fraction of bacteria (or 0.1% of millions of cells)
2. severe illness and death (especially in people with compromised immune systems)
