Study Notes

Normal Microbiota of the Human Body

There are two main types of microbiota:
* Resident microbiota: These are consistently found on or in your body. They're well-adapted to specific sites and re-establish themselves quickly if disturbed. Think of them as the long-term citizens of your body's city.
* Transient microbiota: These are temporary visitors. They can be picked up from the environment but usually can't persist long-term because of competition from residents or your body's defenses. They're like tourists passing through.
