How are bacteria in the large intestine helpful to the human body?

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.hope this help.. :D

Can germs make Swine Flu?

Yes, there are different types of germs, and viruses are one of them. Viruses cause the flu and swine flu is one type. Germ is a general lay term for an infectious agent that causes disease, similar to the general term pathogen. Pathogens cause illness or disease. Another term used is microbe, although many scientists in the field do not classify viruses as microbes because they are not living organisms, however, for a lack of a better term, viruses are still often called microbes. Viruses are also not microscopic like microbes, they are even much smaller and are considered sub-microscopic, requiring an electron microscope to visualize.

What are pathogens?

A pathogen is an infectious agent that causes illness to the host. These are commonly attributed to be bacteria and viruses.They can also be simple organisms, such as Naegleria fowleri [the uncommon brain eating ameoba]. Most pathogens are infectious microbes, such as bacteria or viruses, which are capable of causing disease. Other parasites, such as fungi and protozoans, are also considered pathogens. Because not all microbes are harmful, pathogens refer specifically to those that can cause disease or other harm.All of the above
