IBI Journal – Fascination world of bacteria
Sep 18, 2020
Our environment is the niche of billions of bacteria,
forming a real ecosystem: in the air, in the soil, and also
in what we eat or drink. Some of these microorganisms
are essential contributors to human health. Our body
itself harbours billions of microorganisms at different
mucosal levels: in the mouth, the nose, even in the
pulmonary tract mucosa – which is not free of germs,
as was thought for several centuries. The skin is also
home to important microbial diversity.
