The Human As a Habitat


The human body serves as a suitable home for a number of microorganisms, and those microbes that become adapted to the body are called resident flora. The first exposure of every individual to microbes occurs during the birth of the individual , at which time microbes from the mother’s vagina can enter the womb. During the birth process, the baby unavoidably comes into intimate contact with the birth canal and within 8 to 12 hours after delivery, the newborn typically has been colonized by bacteria such as streptococci, staphylococci and lactobacilli, acquired primarily from its mother.
The nature of the flora that initially colonize the large intestine depends upon whether the baby is bottle- or breast-fed but bottle-fed infants tend to acquire a mixed population of lactobacilli, enteric streptococci, and staphylococci. In contrast, the intestinal flora of breast-fed infants consists primarily of Bifidobacterium species whose growth is favoured by a growth factor from the milk which enable this bacterium to converts sugars into acids that protect the infant from infection by certain intestinal pathogens.
The skin, the mouth and portions of the respiratory and genitourinary tract all continue to be colonized as contact continues with family members, hospital personnel, the environment and food.

  1. I think the blog is in order has a logical sequence, 6 paragraphs, a good vocabulary, however the topic is not so much interesting for me, I prefer to read other kind of topics.

    Focus in the beginning on the human/the baby, later shift to microbes: ok

    Mind the verb forms near the end.
