"Our body is the playground for around 100 trillion microbes, hiding in our mouth, nose, guts, skin and genitals.
In the first in a new series of Frontiers, Geoff Watts visits the Human Microbiome Project in the US, where they're sequencing the genomes of bacteria which live on our body. Our microbes help us digest food in our stomach, produce natural moisturisers on our skin and synthesise vitamins in our intestine"...............
"New research has suggested that pathogenic microbes could be implicated in a whole host of diseases, including obesity, heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer's, arthritis and autism".
