Microbiome, normal flora, and antimicrobial stewardship
High-yield summary Microbiome basics Microbiome = all microbes + their genomes + the environment they occupy. Humans have ~38 trillion microbial cells (more than human cells). Major phyla: Firmicutes (Gram+ anaerobes) Bacteroidetes (Gram– anaerobes) Proteobacteria (Gram– facultative rods) Actinobacteria (Gram+ bacilli) Normal flora by site Carrier state: colonization with potential pathogen (e.g., S. aureus).
