The human body is its own ecosystem comprised of various pH levels and flora (the bacteria that colonize on our skin, live in our gut, and coat our teeth). We co-exist with these bacteria as they help us digest food and these bacteria co-exist with each other. When there's an imbalance whether its our hormone levels or a competition between the bacteria, inflammation can occur and cause diseases and conditions like peptic ulcers, eczema, and psoriasis. From the article, what can you suggest will be the next implication(s) in the interaction of humans and bacteria in the context of disease? Do you think we will be treating the bacteria or the human symptoms or temper with both? Being presented with the interplay of humans and bacteria, has this article changed your overall perception of bacteria as being "bad for you"?
