what cellular count is larger: microbiota or human cells?
Microbiota
It is normal for the human oral cavity to house which species?
Candida Spp.
It is normal for the human skin to house which species?
Coagulase- negative staphylococci, staph aureus
It is normal for the GI flora to house?
Enterobacteraceae(e.coli, klebsiella), large bowel- anaerobes(bacteroides and prevotella)
transient microbe-human host interactions?
“passing through” and of little consequence, risk only with continued exposure
Commensal microbe-human interaction?
Microbiota, normal flora,
Pathogen microbe-human interaction?
causes dz in normal individuals, can be part of normal microbiota
Opportunisitic pathogen microbe-human interaction?
microbe that causes dz only in humans who’s immune defenses are compromised
Accidental pathogen microbe-human interaction?
distinguished from human-specific pathogens, because they are not directly or readily transmissible from human to human.
Pathogens have 5 groups
bacteria, viruses, fungi, protozoa, helminths
SPACE organisms
