Host Defenses
... Normal flora are the microbes, mostly bacteria, that live in and on the body with, usually, no harmful effects to us. There are about 400 different species that we play host to. The numbers and the proportions of each species vary from individual to individual. We have about 1013 (ten trillion) cell ...
