Abstract:
Human microbiota includes all microorganisms, saprophytes and pathogens that colonize our bodies. Recent advances in metagenomic analysis techniques have expanded our knowledge of the microbiota and fundamentally changed our view of its relationships with the immune system. The commensal flora appears to be essential to the development of the immune system, and the diversity of the microbiota is correlated with good health status of individuals. These findings open up new conceptual and therapeutic approaches in chronic inflammatory diseases.

Gram-positive Staphylococcus spp. and Streptococcus spp. are responsible for many of the most common skin infections. However, many...
Factors Affecting the Risk of Infection
The integrity and count of the white blood cells help the body resist pathogens and fight infection. When impaired, it reduces the body's resistance to pathogens. The acidic pH levels of the gastrointestinal, genitourinary tracts, and skin...
Defense Mechanism Against Infection
In addition, many body organ systems have unique defenses against infection. The skin is an intact, multilayered surface preventing invasion by microorganisms unless impaired. Mucous membranes lining the mouth, nose, and eyelids are barriers...
