There are many kinds of bacteria in the human body; some make us sick and others do the best they can in assisting our overall health. Scientists are doing more studies on the beneficial gut microbes that can "team up" with blood blood cell development to become a disease fighting super machine. Some diseases that the gut microbes are said to help keep away were tested in mice and are thought to be inflammatory bowel disease, autism and multiple scoliosis. These bacteria are also thought to prep our bloodstream and blood cells to fight off nasty sickness and diseases mentioned above. These benevolent bacteria are also supposed to help increase white blood cell count. Those test mice without these gut microbes had way less of a defense force than mice with the microbes inside of them. These gut microbes helped to mature other cells as well as those within our blood. These little gut microbes are tiny but mighty in what they do. I would definitely like to know what other adverse effects could happen if you're born without the necessary gut microbes to help keep you healthy. Scientists are helping to bring out some of the best bacteria within us to show how helpful they can be to human's health.
This author really gave a ton of information and brought up the multiple mice researches that helped to further this experiment and bring out more positive information about these bacteria that live in our gut.
