Now scientists say that at least 10,000 species of bacteria and other microbes inhabit the human body, a lot of them in the large intestine. They also say that almost everyone - even when they're healthy - has pathogenic microbes (those that can cause disease) inside their body. In healthy people these potentially harmful microbes cause no problems. Most microorganisms in the body are bacteria, but yeasts and viruses are also found in the microbiome.
