10 000 Germs in the Human Body

Alvienova | 10 000 Germs in the Human Body | Germs do not always synonymous with a dirty and unhealthy. In fact scientists have agreed that in the human body, even though there are more healthy than 10,000 germs that live together.

Do not trigger disgust first. Many of these organisms that work to keep the humans to stay healthy.
One other surprising thing is it turns out almost everyone has some kind of harmful or pathogenic bacteria in their body but the levels are low.

But when a person is healthy, as well as the 242 U.S. adults who volunteered to be tested in this project, these microbes quietly coexist with the microbes are benign or beneficial to the body.

So why the bad bacteria harmful to some people and not harmful to others? What changes in the microbes that put someone at risk of disease, ranging from infections, irritable bowel syndrome to psoriasis?

The findings, published in the journal Nature and Public Library of Science has also succeeded in changing the views of scientists on how people can stay healthy or not.

"These findings provide a new way of looking at human biology and human disease. Of course this extraordinary and inspiring, "said Dr. Phillip Tarr of Washington University in St. Louis, one of the principal investigator in the project worth 173 million dollars, funded by the National Institutes of Health.

"These bacteria are not the passengers," said Tarr as reported from foxnews, Friday (06/15/2012). "They are metabolically active. As a community, now we must take them just as we take into account the ecosystem in a forest or water. "

In addition, as with the environmental ecosystem, microbial changes also vary depending on your body parts they occupy. Actually, scientists have long known that the human body trillions of bacteria coexist with mikrobiom they call it.

But unfortunately until now researchers have yet to find out what microbes live in a healthy person's body and where is located and what microbes were actually doing.
