The billions of microbes living on you are called your skin microbiome. These microorganisms (sometimes called skin flora) are harmless or even beneficial—playing a vital role in your immune system and skin appearance. #microbiome
Recent research indicates that the reproductive microbiome can influence the outcomes of pre- and postcopulatory sexual selection, as well as generate conflict between the sexes. Genital microbiomes varied between populations and the sexes.
The gut microbiome plays a very important role in your health by helping control digestion and benefiting your immune system. Imbalance of unhealthy and healthy microbes in the intestines may contribute to weight gain, high blood sugar, high cholesterol.
There are hundreds of distinct bacterial species in the gut — some pathogenic and some beneficial. Several diseases are now thought to be influenced by processes in the gut microbiome. including cancer, multiple sclerosis and autism spectrum disorder.
The pulmonary microbial community consisting of a complex variety of microorganisms found in the lower respiratory tract particularly on the mucous layer and the epithelial surfaces. These microorganisms include bacteria, fungi, viruses and bacteriophages.
The Human Microbiome Project defines nine sites in the mouth — the tongue, palate, tonsils, sub- and supra-gingival plaque on teeth, the keratinized gingiva, the buccal mucosa, the throat, and saliva.
Staph bacteria are commonly present in our nasal cavity and on our skin. Usually, these bacteria are harmless. But they can cause an infection if they enter your body through a break in your skin.
The bacteria in the microbiome help digest our food, regulate our immune system, protect against other bacteria that cause disease, and produce vitamins including B vitamins B12, thiamine, riboflavin, and Vitamin K, which is needed for blood coagulation.
The microbiome is defined as the collective genomes of the microbes (composed of bacteria, bacteriophage, fungi, protozoa and viruses) that live inside and on the human body. We have about 10 times as many microbial cells as human cells.

10000 species, in the human body. The rest are from bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms. Now, scientists have unveiled the first survey the "human microbiome," which includes 10,000 species and more than 8 million genes.
