The human body has 10,000 living organisms
The human body has up to 10,000 living organisms with 8 million microbial genes, yet they live peacefully with humans and have reciprocal benefits, according to Health24.
This is the work of 14 studies published in Nature and Public Library of Science.
The 5-year study with 240 participants healthy living in St. Louis Louis and Houston (USA).
Accordingly, the researchers took samples from 15 positions on the male body and 18 positions on the female body. The sites studied are the mouth, skin, nose and intestines.
Scientists say there are more than 10,000 microorganisms in the human body. For a 90kg person, there are about 1 - 3kg of bacteria and bacteria.
Bruce Birren, director of the Center for Genetic Arrangement for Infection and also Director of Genetic Analysis and Arrangement at Harvard University's MIT Institute, said: 'Eight million genes from 10,000 microbes. This object plays a key role in our development and health. '
Interestingly, the bacteria on this body are very different from other people's bodies, especially on the skin. In addition, microorganisms also differ from person to person, indicating that humans have their own "bacterial" symbols.
However, the microorganisms may be different but their function for the human body is the same.
