Are Bacteria the Masters of Our Bodies?

Tiny, invisible life forms... bacteria! Often associated with bad smells and numerous diseases, bacteria are generally seen as unwelcome guests. 

But are bacteria really just annoying intruders? In fact, bacteria were the original inhabitants of Earth, having been born 3.8 billion years ago.

Thus, bacteria are not merely creatures to be unilaterally despised; they have a dual nature.
