1 answer
Microflora refers to the diverse community of microorganisms, such as bacteria, fungi, and viruses, that live in a particular environment or on a host organism. These microorganisms play important roles in maintaining the health and balance of their environment, including the human body. The composition of microflora can vary depending on the specific environment, and disruptions to the balance of microflora can lead to health issues. In the human body, the gut microflora, also known as the gut microbiota, plays a crucial role in digestion, immunity, and overall health.
