Every surface of the human body, inside and out, is covered in billions of different species of micro-organisms. These micro-organisms are mainly bacteria, but also include viruses and fungi, and are collectively known as the ‘human microbiome’. The bacteria that make up the human microbiome live together in a close relationship with us and some even help the body perform vital functions.
