Bacteria colonize surfaces and hosts to establish a stable environment where they can grow and reproduce. They often form biofilms or symbiotic relationships, which provide protection and access to nutrients. Colonization can also enhance their survival against competitors and hostile conditions, allowing them to thrive in various ecosystems. Additionally, some bacteria can colonize hosts to exploit resources or establish infections, impacting the host's health.
