gut microbiome

Friendly bacteria - they help your immune

system respond quickly to pathogens,

without giving them a chance to multiply

and displace the beneficial inhabitants of

the gut.

Friendly

Lactobacillus

Bifidobacteria

Conditionally pathogenic bacteria - are

usually harmless to a healthy person. But

they multiply dramatically when the body is

negatively affected. If a person is injured,

their immune system fails or their microbiota

is out of balance, neutral microbes can

become pathogenic.

Enterococci

Pathogenic bacteria - can cause illness, but only if their

numbers are too high or they have entered the body with a

weakened immune defence.

Campylobacter
