Humans And Humans

Analysts have been concentrating among the dynamic parts of supportive microorganisms inside the human body, and they found out that: “In fact, most of the cells in the human body are not human at all. Bacteria cells in the human body outnumber human cells 10 to one.” (Jennifer Ackerman, 2012, p. 38) Ackerman also expresses that

The article “Some of My Best Friends are Germs,” by Michael Pollen was a very interesting and informative read. Pollen explains that our bodies house 100s of trillions of microbes. More than 99 percent of our genetic information is microbial. The large number of bacteria that inhabits us weighs many pounds, forming a massive, unexplored world that scientists are just starting to document. These bacteria affect our health as much as if not more than the genes we receive from our parents.

Before, biologists assumed all microbes are bad for the human body (automatically thought of pathogens), caused many diseases and harm our body fundamental systems. In addition, the biologists think that our body is already built which had all the functions required to maintain our health. However, the attitude has changed over the last decade. The biologists characterized the most prevalent species of microbes in the body, and found out that these collective microbes do not threaten us, and they also are important part of human bodies.

There are major effects in the United States and Europe to help identify the role of microbial communities in the human body. The colon requires a balance of microbial agents that assist with various functions of the body. An imbalance can lead to C.diff., irritable bowel disease (IBD), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), neurological disorders, and obesity just to list a few. Many of these problems have grown to an epidemic proportion. Both the United States and Europe have started projects aimed at the microbial communities of the body and their roles in our health.

The human microbiome has received more attention in the last few years as scientists have begun to link health and mental wellbeing with these internal synergists. Murray and Manary (2015) define a microbiome as an “ecological community of commensal, symbiotic, and pathogenic microorganisms living inside the body…100 trillion organisms, including anaerobic bacteria, archaea, yeast and parasites.” Humans are born and immediately exposed to these microbes, creating their own microbiome within hours. The natural birth baby inherits microbes of the mother and caesarian section babies receive microbiota of those who handle them first (Ley, 2006). Genes, and the environment from which they are born into, shape their future microbiome (Ley, Peterson,

We know currently essential information about microbiomes to help us understand the human body a little better. The skin, mouth, esophagus, stomach, colon, gut, and vagina are composed of microbial communities. Collectively, the gut has the most information. Information pertaining to these body parts however, are limited simply because each individual is unique This makes each body just as unique as the person. (The Scientist Staff) It is in still in question whether we are functionally redundant between community members, and what kind of factors are influencing this. (Turnbaugh)

The gut microbiota encompasses trillions of microorganisms that inhabit the gastrointestinal tract (Carding et al. 2015). The composition of the gut microbiota is constantly evolving and can be susceptible to both endogenous and exogenous modifications (Carding et al. 2015). The microbiota

Which is why on the 28th of July, a new study was released that would go on to explain what we know microbiota as we know it may be lacking.

It is surely not uncommon to see people carry around different kinds of disinfectant sprays and other chemical products in order to reduce the amount of bacteria and germs on their skin and in their body. However, the fact is that distal human intestine represents “an anaerobic bioreactor programmed with an enormous population of bacteria.” The study was conducted in order to assess the influence of microbiota on the energy storage in mice raised without exposure to any microorganisms compared to the control group that had acquired a microbiota since birth. The study showed that the control group of mice acquired 40% more total body fat than their germ free counterparts, despite the fact that the control group consumed less food per day. This came as a result of microbiota that provide us with genetic and metabolic attributes we have not acquired in our own evolutionary process, such as the ability to harvest otherwise inaccessible nutrients. Coming back to Elizabeth Willson’s contention, study of the microstructure, in this case the gut microbiota, has had a reorganizing effect on how we view our bodies and forced us put greater value to the role of microorganisms in our own survival.

There are some factors with microbial that play a part in our bodies. There is a virus called Escherichia Coli bacteria, E-Coli for short, that in culture, they thrive

The diversity of microbes that each of us hosts is as individual as a fingerprint and yet easily transformed by diet and our

The word microbiota represents an ensemble of microorganisms that reside in a previously established environment; humans have microbiota throughout many different areas of the body, not exclusively the gut (Gut Microbiota). Our gut is full of trillions of different species of bacteria that is used and necessary for many different functions. Each bacteria is used for a variety of different functions. They are used to help digest certain food that the human body cannot alone and it plays an important role in the immune system (Gut Microbiota). Many people do not understand the concept of having such as vast amount of bacteria in their gut, let alone the importance of its presence to their

The article’s main focus was on the gut microbiome, whilst incorporating its relevance to precision medicine. By analyzing the microbiomes composition and function, the near future could include personalized patient-specific diagnostics and therapeutics. Microbiome research entails the complex ecosystem of microorganisms who reside on or within the human body whose genome outnumbers that of the host and effects physiological functions. Though this research marks progression, there are limitations and challenges presented by the fact that there is variability among individuals. Overall, the research concerning the second genome, or gut microbiome, is altering medicine for the better.

Compared to our understanding of most microbiota living on and in humans, our understanding of our gut flora is relatively well developed. It is also an area where it is "common knowledge" that there are microorganisms

Microbiota can be defined as a collection or a community of microbes. There are times where the term ‘ microbiome’ is used to address all microbes in a community or to refer to the full collection of genes of all the microbes in a community. Now a days, the communities of microbes are supported in particular parts of human
