THE IMPORTANCE OF NORMAL MICROFLORA FOR HUMAN HEALTH AND THE RELEVANCE OF ITS STABILIZATION

Abstract

The microorganisms normally present in healthy individuals are known as the normal microbiota.  These microorganisms, which can be pathogenic (able to cause disease) but are not now doing so, are found throughout the body.  Some of the usual microbiota are thought to be indigenous since they are always present. Others are temporary, appearing in some healthy individuals for a brief period of time without producing illness before being removed. Since its discovery, several studies have emphasized the importance of microbiota in health and illness.
