People Are Human-Bacteria Hybrid, Wired
 









Excerpts: Most of the cells in your body are not your own, nor are they even
human. They are bacterial. From the invisible strands of fungi (...), to the
kilogram of bacterial matter in our guts, we are best viewed as walking
"superorganisms," highly complex conglomerations of human, fungal, bacterial and
viral cells.(...) 
Understanding the workings of the superorganism, they say, is crucial to the
development of personalized medicine and health care in the future because
individuals can have very different responses to drugs, depending on their
microbial fauna.
