The human body has about 10 bacterial cells for every eukaryotic cell. Bacteria coat our skin, gut, and mouth. Also present are protists, archaeans, and viruses. Collectively, these organisms are our microbiota. For most members of our microbiota, our body provides their environment, or space to live. They, in turn, have no effect on us.
