How Bacteria Wage War to Survive in Your Microbiome
How Bacteria Wage War to Survive in Your Microbiome
Ten trillion bacteria live in and on each of us during health – making up what scientists call human microbiomes. These bacteria are critical to our health: they protect us from infection, help us digest our food, and regulate our immune systems. A new era of human health and treatment could be unlocked if we could manipulate these hidden communities in precise ways. Our ability to reach this future is currently limited by our understanding of how microbiomes form and evolve: even identical twins and spouses have distinct microbiomes—and the basis for this individuality is unclear.
