Question

What is the distinction between colonization and disease?

Answer 1

Every colonization does not necessarily lead to disease.

Answer 2

Do u know about probiotics ?

Answer 3

The human body has many organisms (bacteria, fungi, some parasites) that form the normal commensal population. These organisms live on the surface of the skin and all mucosal membranes (from the mouth to the anus and the genitourinary tract). These bacteria live on these surfaces and protect humans from colonization with highly virulent microbes. The organisms also stimulate a protective response and can help provide essential growth factors. If these organisms are introduced into normally sterile sites of the body or if the individuals are exposed to highly virulent organisms, then disease can occur. Thus it is important to distinguish between colonization, which is a natural, important process, and disease

Answer 4

Yes..that's it !
Many useful bacteria live inside the human gut and help in digestion. These bacteria are called as probiotics.

Answer 5

Give examples of strict pathogens and opportunistic pathogens.

Answer 6

Strict pathogens are organisms that are almost always found in the setting of disease. Some examples of strict pathogens are Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Clostridium tetani, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Francisella tularensis, Plasmodium falciparum, and rabies viruses. Most human infections are caused by opportunistic pathogens; that is, organisms that can colonize humans without evidence of disease or cause disease when introduced into normally sterile tissues or into a patient with defective immunity. Some examples of opportunistic pathogens are Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli,
Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Candida albicans.
