15
Q

what characteristics dictate microbe content

A

pH, oxygen, moisture, temp, nutrients

16
Q

what is aquatic MB

A

the study of microbes in freshwater and marine environments

17
Q

water ecosystems have more or less microbes than soil and why

A

less because the water dilutes the nutrients

18
Q

where do biofilms form (aquatic lly)

A

on the surface

19
Q

microbiome of humans def.

A

organisms that colonize the bodys surface without normally causing disease

20
Q

dysbiosis def

A

persistent imbalance in microbial community usuallly due to reduction in microbial diversity

21
Q

what is opportunistic pathogens refering to

A

normal microbiota that cause disease in certain circumstances
they usually move to and unusual site in the body and change the normal microbiota

22
Q

gut microbiome infor

A

can influence many systems in body

23
Q

dysbiosis in the gut could lead to what

A

stress, anxiety, heart issues, and so many other implications throughout the whole body

24
where is the c. difficile disease happen
in the gut
25
how to treat c. difficile
with FMT. a fecal microbiota transplant
26
what does c.difficile do
limites many heatlhy gut species and causes dysbiosis
27
what does FMT do
places donor fecal matter with high microbiome diversity into and individual with gut dysbiosis.
28
before and after FMT
before there are many proteobacteria after the proteobacteria are eliminated and microviridae are increased
29
what organisms are abundant on the skin
different organisms are abundant in differey body locations
30
what is candida auris
a fungal pathogen common in the healthcare environment
31
what two states determine candida auris population
malassezia which prevents it and the candida species inhances it.
