Human microbiome

The human microbiota is the aggregate of microorganisms,


a microbiome that resides on or within a number of tissues
and biofluids, including the skin, mammary glands,
placenta, seminal fluid, uterus, ovarian follicles, lung, saliva,
oral mucosa, conjunctiva, and gastrointestinal tracts. They
include bacteria, fungi, and archaea.
It is estimated that 500 to 1,000 species of bacteria live in the human gut but belong to just
a few phyla: Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes dominate but there are also Proteobacteria,
Verrumicrobia, Actinobacteria, Fusobacteria and Cyanobacteria
