This bacteria analogy is rather quite abstract. You're best off changing it so that the topic isn't just a debate over some definitions.
Topicwise, I think that we are bacteria in that we live to be, just as any other organism does. We're not ruining it rather we're doing things that are beneficial for us that have negative effects on the earth; where as other animals are doing things that are beneficial for them that is percieved as having a "natural" effect on the world.

A much more awesome thesis would be to argue that Humans are von Neumann machines, but I guess it's too late for that.

His question is "are humans scourges of the earth?"
I would say yes.

The question "are humans bacteria" makes no sense because biologically speaking, of course not, and metaphorically speaking, not all bacteria are harmful.

@Hypnosis you are Wrong, wrong in Facts, and you are brain washed by the media.

" I am trying to prove that Humans are actually a bacterial infection upon the Earth and all we do is harm it and its inhabitants. "
You will fail at logic trying to Prove this.

The Earth does not give a fuck about how we "harm" it, it also does not give a fuck about its inhabitants. If earth has a pocket full of fucks, and every single human is handing over a cliff about to fall to their death, and looks up to earth and ask " would you plz give me a fuck???" Earth will no doubt and reply " Too Bad for you guys, But you know, I don't give a fuck"
We human are the one who actually giving a fuck, we give a fuck not because we are trying to save the planet, it is because we want to save ourselves.

Consider the following, Human as a specie has been existed on earth for a friction of the 4.6billion years of age. It had been here for long long time, way way before any human developed critical thinking ability. The planet does not give a shit what we human do, it doesn't care how much CO2 we releases, how much nuke we drop on each other, it will still be there at the end of the day, and will be here for a long long time after human as a specie gets wipe out.

Then who cares about the planet?, WE DO!!!!!. Why??? Because we want to survive, we don't want to go away, we are the only specie that do not need to adapt to the environment we live in, we change our environment as we see fit.

You need to stop using phases such as "Saving the environment saving the Earth", because the earth and its environment does not need you to save, WE DO. when you use those phases what you are really saying is "save the humans from themselves"

But if my words are not entering your ear, or perhaps they are existing your left ear right after it enters your right, then maybe George Carlin have more credibility than I do around here.

We're clearly not bacteria in the biological sense. Bacteria are referred to in popular culture as an invisible danger. Look at anti-bacterial soap - it's a shield against this invisible enemy. I does nothing but sit on your hands and dry, and yet it's protecting you. One might call it superstitious if they didn't know better. And think of the way that the dangers of bacteria are presented in the news and in the classroom - they're too small to see, but when they get inside of you they cause you harm.

The word you're looking for is parasite.

And we're not that either, sorry. Sure you can weaken the definition of the word to include humans, but then all animals are parasitic. Every husband is parasitic. Every business is parasitic. Essentially all you'd be doing is destroying a word that has a niche use

On a more fundamental level, bacteria is a domain level classification, where as human (homo) is a genus level classification, or a species level classification (sapiens).
