How many bacteria, I micron on each side, will fit in a typical human cell (about 25 microns on each side)?

Although it is not necessary to do so, we can make a simplifying assumption that both human cells and bacterial cells have the shape of cubes. Since the bacterial cells are I /25th the length of the human one, as many as 25 x 25 x 25 will fit inside. (Picture a large cube and start stuffing it with the little ones, 25 rows of 25 on the bottom layer, and 25 such layers); 25 x 25 x 25 =15,625.
