Bacteria:  Is it Good or Bad?bacteria in yogurt

While many species of bacteria are bad, there are many more that are beneficial to us.  In fact, humans require good bacteria for a healthy body.

These good bacteria begin growing almost immediately after we are born and live in the mouth, digestive tract and vagina. 

Some of these good bacteria keep the intestinal lining of the digestive tract healthy and boost immunity.  They also ward off bad bacteria due to a lack of room for both and by changing the intestinal environment to make them less likely to thrive.

Good bacteria also works with the body's cells to maintain the supply of vitamin K and folic acid.

Good bacteria protect women against vaginal infections by producing natural disinfectants that balance pH and good microorganisms.

Probiotics are bacteria that are very beneficial for women are Lactobacillus rhamnosus and Lactobacillus reuteri which combat fungal and bacterial vaginal infections.  They keep bad bacteria and fungi from growing.  Oral probiotics, along with antibiotics, can help stave off bacterial infections in women who are prone to them.
