Nossos corpos estão cobertos por um mar de micróbios - tanto os patógenos que nos tornam doentes e os "bons" micróbios, dos quais  sabemos menos, e poderiam estar nos mantendo saudáveis. No TEDMED, o microbiologo Jonathan Eisen compartilha o que nós sabemos, incluindo algumas maneiras surpreendentes de colocar aqueles micróbios bons para trabalhar.    

Jonathan Eisen: Encontrem os seus micróbios 

The human body is home to trillions of microbes, outnumbering human cells by ten to one and weighing more than the brain. Most of these microbes are not harmful; in fact, they play crucial roles in metabolism, immunity, and even behavior. Disrupting this microbial community—through antibiotics, excessive cleanliness, or medical procedures—can lead to a host of unexpected health problems. Understanding and restoring microbial balance may be key to preventing diseases once thought unrelated to microbes.
