What germs are present on the body?

The human body is home to a diverse array of microorganisms, collectively known as the microbiome. This includes bacteria, fungi, viruses, and archaea, which are found on the skin, in the gut, and within other mucosal surfaces. Common bacteria include Staphylococcus and Streptococcus on the skin, and Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium in the gut. While many of these germs are harmless or even beneficial, some can be pathogenic under certain conditions.
