Micrоbiоtа In heаlthy humаns, the internal оrgans 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 media must be used to culture the various human microbiota. If normal microbiota organisms are only found to colonize a human's skin for a short period of time, they are referred to as ___________.
