Are bacteria found in humans?

Bacteriophges do not infect humans. They only infect the bacteria they are specific to. Once they have destroyed all of the bacteria they have infected, your immune system efficiently removes the bacteriophages from your system. Bacteriophages are self-limiting and harmless to humans.

What bacteria do you have in your digestive tract?

MILLIONS of them, not all cataloged or identified even today. You are outnumbered even within your own skin; there are more bacteria and other non-human cells in your body than there are human cells.

Is the human mouth cleaner than the human butt?

The human mouth and butt are both host to a diverse array of bacteria, with the mouth containing around 700 different species and the gut harboring over 1,000 species. However, the oral cavity is constantly exposed to the external environment through food and air intake, potentially introducing harmful pathogens. On the other hand, the gastrointestinal tract is protected by stomach acid and a mucus layer, which helps to prevent the colonization of harmful bacteria. Therefore, while neither the mouth nor the butt can be considered "cleaner" than the other in an absolute sense, the gut may have more robust mechanisms for maintaining a healthy bacterial balance.


How can you tell the difference between the mouth and the anus of a earthworm?

The mouth of an earthworm is located on the anterior end, closer to the clitellum, and is typically smaller and more round in shape. The anus is located on the posterior end and is larger and more oval in shape. You can also observe the direction of the crop bands, which point towards the mouth and away from the anus.

Does a dog's mouth have more bacteria than a toilet seat?

Actually, yes. Some truly nasty bacteria such as streptococcus (the bacteria that causes strep throat, among other things) is one of many that can be found on toilet seats. A dog's mouth on the other hand, can house colonies of bacteria. Now, just to put that in perspective, the human mouth also houses colonies of bacteria but a dog's mouth has been shown to house significantly more colonies than those of a human. For more information on both bacteria found on toilet seats and bacteria found in a dog's mouth, see the related links.

Who has more bacteria a dog's mouth or people's mouth science project?

They are equal


Who has more bacteria a dog's mouth or people's mouth?

A dog has more bacteria due to the things it eats, chases after and who knows what else it did?? I tested this for a science project one year. I used petri dishes and swabbed 3 dog's mouths and 3 humans' mouths. I found that more bacteria grew in the humans petri dish. Good to know that we take better care of ourselves then dogs.....


Why is dog's breath better than human's breath?

Because we brush our teeth then sleep and while we're asleep our mouth is dry and smells bad. Dogs on the other hand always keep their mouths wet and so there is your explanation. Actually the human mouth has many more types of bacteria than that of a canine, which is why you find more odors in the human mouth.
