Question
Chapter 30.3, Problem 2EQ
Summary Introduction
To explain: The way in which the microbiomes from unhealthy or stunted children affected the growth of mice.
Introduction: An investigation is done by Blanton, Gorden, and Associates on mice. They did this investigation to prove the hypothesis which states that, if the microbiome is taken from a malnourished child is transplanted into the mice then this will affect the growth of the mice.

Functionally, normal microbiota is beneficial to it's host organism and on the other hand, it may cause harm, How does this normal microbiota cause harm? Explain briefly but acurately
Because of overuse of antibiotics and/or weakened governmental surveillance of infectious disease, several diseasesthat had been thought to be no longer a threat to humanhealth (e.g., pneumonia and tuberculosis) are rapidly becoming unmanageable. In several instances, so-called superbugs(microorganisms that are resistant to almost all known antibiotics) have been detected. How did this circumstancearise? What will happen if this process continues?
