Quantitatively, we can grow up inside us over 2 Kg of microbes, this number of cells are 10 times higher than our own number.
But remenber microbes are very very small too! And of course, the most of them are beneficial, they usually works to improve our normal funtions like digestive, immunitary etc many other are essential in several things and only a little number are patogens.

Microbes are inside us ... and It's great!
How important is the presence of microorganisms in our body? The fact is their presence is hugely important.To put it into numbers, we can grow over 2 Kg of microbes inside us. As they are so very, very small, if we were to count them, this weight of cells would amount to over 10 times the number of our own.
The fortunate thing for us is most of them are beneficial. They usually work to improve our everyday bodily funtions such as digestion, assisting the immune system etc. Better still, only a small number are pathogens.
This gives rise to the question, are we a unique organism or do we consist of many organisms which enable and guide our lives?
The answer is not easy but we should know that we live with other little beings and thanks to them we are how we are.
