Week 9
Topic : Human Microbiome
On Monday, we continued the topic human microbiome. From this class I have been able to differentiate between parasites, pathogen, pathogenicity, disease and infection. Pathogen is a biological agent that causes disease or illness to its host while pathogenicity is the ability of parasite to inflict damage on the host and on the resistance of the host to the parasite. However not all pathogen are parasites but parasites can be pathogenic to the host.
It is interesting to learn about microorganism in our body. The body contains 10 times more bacteria and other microorganisms than human cells. Some of the microbes are beneficial for us and some may be pathogenic.
Here I share some videos about human microbiome and lets meet your microbiome.
