Summary Introduction

Introduction:

Microorganisms are living microscopic organisms like bacteria, fungi, protozoa, and viruses which are present either in the form of single-celled or clusters of cells. The human body is occupied with various nonpathogenic strains of normal microflora which prevents the entry of pathogenic microbes. Any deviation from the normal living condition of microflora results in the reduction of their population that could lead to various diseases.
