Colonization occurs when transient microbes are on a tissue, whereas adherence is a more permanent attachment to cells. Colonization occurs when microbes begin to spread in host tissues, whereas adherence occurs when microbes first begin to reproduce in the host tissues.

- Microbiota In healthy humans, the internal organs and tissues such as muscles, the brain, and blood do not contain microorganisms. However, surface tissues, such as the skin and mucous membranes, are in continuous contact with environmental microbes and become readily colonized by specific bacteria. The population of microbes regularly found in the body is referred to as the normal microbiota. The term transient microbiota refers to members of the normal microbiota that are present for only a short time before disappearing. A person's normal microbiota is an important part of the immune system, as the normal microbiota often inhibit pathogenic microbes from colonizing the host, a process called microbial antagonism. Different types of bacteria will colonize different niches in a person's body due to variations in moisture level, pH. atmospheric pressure, oxygen levels, and body secretions. Accordingly, different types of medila must be used to culture the various human microbiota. If…arrow_forwardCompare parasitism and mutualism for the two factors (A and B) below.
