For the huge numbers of bacteria that live symbiotically with us, in our gut and elsewhere, it is mutually beneficial. The human body creates a lovely, safe environment for the bacteria, and they provide us with certain substances (like vitamin K) that we cannot produce on our own.

Pathogenic bacteria are another matter altogether, but I don't think you are asking about those.
