Best Answer

1) The microbe may be on a part of the body that will not allow the growth of the microbe thus making it not able to multiply

2) Pathogens must be able to attach to specific receptor sites before they can multiply and cause damage.

3) The body may have antibacterial factors that destroy or inhibit the growth of microbes. Ex: enzymes in tears, saliva & sweat.

4) Indigenous microflora inhibits microbial growth by occupying space and using available nutrients. competition to survive

5) Indigenous microflora growing in the area may produce antibacterial factors that may destroy the newly arrived pathogen.

6)A person may be in good health.
