Yes they can. Some bacteria that are present in your food can survive in the stomach, and then go on to colonize your guts. Others, like Helicobacter pilori, can directly colonize your stomach.

What does the stomach do to defend against microbes?

The stomach defends against microbes by secreting digestive enzymes and acid that can kill many harmful pathogens. Additionally, the stomach's lining has a protective layer of mucous that helps prevent microbes from invading the stomach tissue. The acidic environment also helps to break down food to make it less hospitable for microbial growth.


What is symbiotic microbes?

Symbiotic microbes are microorganisms that live in close association with a host organism, where both parties benefit from the relationship. The host provides the microbes with a suitable environment, and in return, the microbes help the host with various functions like digestion, nutrient absorption, or protection against pathogens. Examples of symbiotic microbes include the bacteria in our gut that aid in digestion.
