The microbiome is defined as the collective genomes of the microbes (composed of bacteria, bacteriophage, fungi, protozoa and viruses) that live inside and on the human body. We have about 10 times as many microbial cells as human cells.

The bacteria in the microbiome help digest our food, regulate our immune system, protect against other bacteria that cause disease, and produce vitamins including B vitamins B12, thiamine, riboflavin, and Vitamin K, which is needed for blood coagulation.

Staph bacteria are commonly present in our nasal cavity and on our skin. Usually, these bacteria are harmless. But they can cause an infection if they enter your body through a break in your skin.

This is really interesting, our microbiome CREATES B vitamins? Vit k?
Holy shit.

Yeah we are similar to the plant kingdom. The micorrhiza fungus that grows along plant and tree roots, break down the soil and makes ready the nutrients for the plant.

This is incredibly interesting. VitK is necessary for Vit D absorption from the sun, therefore if our microbiome is out of whack (and lets be honest, majority of the populations is) our immune system is already hindered.
