Some microbes can make us ill and give us a cold or upper respiratory viral infection (viruses like Rhinoviruses and coronaviruses), and some can kill us like meningitis and other serious bacterial infections. Some are good because they help break down foods in the digestive tract and our gastrointestinal systems have developed to work together with these "good bacteria" for our proper nutrition.

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.
