P.5 top paragraph: "4. Gut Microbiota: The orogastrointestinal tract of humans has an abundant microbiota dominated by anaerobic bacteria. The number of bacteria in the oral cavity is about 10^11 bacteria/g in dental plaque and 10^8–10^9 bacteria/mL in saliva, whereas in feces the corresponding numbers are 10^11–10^12 bacteria/g [primary source]. More precisely, the gut microbial ecosystem includes native species that permanently colonize the gastrointestinal tract, and a variable number of live microorganisms that temporarily pass through the digestive tract [ref 4]. Native bacteria are mainly acquired at birth and during the first year of life, whereas transient bacteria are continuously being ingested from food, drinks and the environment." |
