We have seen barren playground on which children play, but in rainy season many types of grasses, plants, weeds etc. grow up. It is possible because the seeds were already present there and waited for a favorable climatic condition. Likewise, the Human body being the micro cosmos contains every elements of creation including the seeds of every species. Our body consists of about 37 million cells and 370 million are microorganisms in it. We can admit that our own body contains microorganisms, innumerable. To be unaware of this fact is quite natural but to ignore this fact will be perplexing.

In recent years, impressive advances in the knowledge about a vast number of microbes living in the human body and interactions between the microbiota and the human body have been observed. All micro-organisms that live in the human body consist of around 10 ^ 14 cells. The number of microbial cells colonizing the human body is ten times higher than the number of its own cells and the weight of all micro-organisms is about 2-2.5 kg. The number of bacterial genes is 50-100 times greater than the number of genes in the human body. Nowadays, the human microbiota is often regarded as a “newly discovered organ” or even as a “supergenome”. The results of many studies have revealed that disruption of the bowel microecosystem may affect the development of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) symptoms. Therefore, manipulation of the gut microflora was hoped to be a new tool in the treatment of this disease. Various methods (probiotics, prebiotics, antibiotic therapy, transplantation of faecal flora) have been used to modify the intestinal microbiota by supporting the expansion of bacteria considered beneficial and reducing the number of those regarded as harmful, thus alleviating the IBS symptoms. There is much evidence in the literature to suggest that the intestinal microbiota and the gut-intestinal axis are important factors in the pathogenesis of IBS. Moreover, the literature findings have demonstrated beneficial effects of modifying the intestinal flora composition in alleviating IBS symptoms. Although the pathophysiology of IBS and the role of the intestinal microflora and gut-intestinal axis in it are well known, many issues are still to be elucidated. Further research into the bacteria identified in stool and colon mucosa of healthy individuals should provide more information on restoration of intestinal homeostasis in IBS patients.

The use of auto sanitizer in the disinfection of human body and surfaces against dangerous micro-organisms like coronavirus diseases that are infectious is of great importance to schools, family, community, and public health. The outbreak of novel Coronavirus in late 2019, which has crippled the academic, social, and economic activities globally is as a result of unhygienic activities of living creatures like, man, and animals. But a good number of technologies can be developed to tackle the emergence of this novel infectious virus. The challenge of COVID-19 that resulted to ill-health, high death rate, and shutdown of activities was being addressed radically by different medical practitioners, engineers through various practical innovations, methods and mitigation approach - ranging from the use of face shields and respiratory facemasks to practicing of social and physical distancing. This part of preventive measures has led us to developing an Auto Sanitizer that is made of Aluminum Chamber which does not wet the cloth or human body but disinfects it against COVID-19.

The human body is home to trillions of micro-organisms, which are increasingly being shown to have significant effects on a variety of disease states. Evidence exists that a bidirectional communication is taking place between us and our microbiome co-habitants, and that this dialogue is capable of influencing our health in a variety of ways. This review considers how host hormonal signals shape the microbiome, and what in return the microbiome residents may be signalling to their hosts.

Mechanical Barrier

This chapter describes how the human body protects its internal conditions against micro-organisms and the environment. The body’s first line of defence is the mechanical barrier provided by the skin, a part of the integumentary system. When the integument is breached, the body’s immediate priority is to seal the hole by coagulation of the leaking blood. The next line of defence is chemical: the secretions that cover the surfaces of eyes and the inside of the nose contain a variety of proteins that attack bacteria. Within the blood and fluids that bathe internal tissues are proteins of the complement system. The chapter then considers the innate and the adaptive immune systems.

Human body contains a huge number of micro-organisms in its intestine. It is ten times more in number compared to the number of human body cells. These micro-organisms are mainly anaerobic bacteria and perform useful functions in relation to development of gut, and production of vitamins and hormones. These bacteria also perform a wide range of metabolic functions. The present article reviews briefly the mutualistic relationship of intestinal flora with human intestine along with their pathogenic behaviour to some extent.

Micro Organisms

The human microbiome comprises bacteria, archaea, viruses, and eukaryotes which reside within and outside our bodies. These organisms impact human physiology, both in health and in disease, contributing to the enhancement or impairment of metabolic and immune functions. Micro-organisms colonise various sites on and in the human body, where they adapt to specific features of each niche. Facultative anaerobes are more dominant in the gastrointestinal tract, whereas strict aerobes inhabit the respiratory tract, nasal cavity, and skin surface. The indigenous organisms in the human body are well adapted to the immune system, due to the biological interaction of the organisms with the immune system over time. An alteration in the intestinal microbial community plays a major role in human health and disease pathogenesis. These alterations result from lifestyle and the presence of an underlying disease. Dysbiosis increases host susceptibility to infection, and the nature of which depends on the anatomical site involved. The unique diversity of the human microbiota accounts for the specific metabolic activities and functions of these micro-organisms within each body site. It is therefore important to understand the microbial composition and activities of the human microbiome as they contribute to health and disease.

SUMMARYHuman skin scales which have been shed naturally bear a flora of micro-organisms which is unknown until tested. To replace these scales in a study of the micro-environment of both the human body and of models a method has been devised of making synthetic scales which behave both physically and aerodynamically in a similar way to the natural material. The synthetic materials carry no natural flora and it is possible to include in them test markers of several kinds to assist in identification after dispersion.

Synthetic Work

Hydroxyapatite bioceramics has attracted many material scientists as it is the main constituent of the bone and the teeth in human body. The synthesis of the bioceramics has been performed for years. Nowadays, the synthetic work is not only focused on the hydroapatite but also on the fluorapatite and chlorapatite bioceramics since later materials have also biological compatibility with human tissues; and they may also be very promising for clinic purpose. However, in comparison of the synthetic bioceramics with natural one on microstructure, a great differences were observed according to our previous results. We have investigated these differences further in this work since they are very important to appraise the synthetic bioceramics for their clinic application.The synthetic hydroxyapatite and chlorapatite were prepared according to A. Krajewski and A. Ravaglioli and their recent work. The briquettes from different hydroxyapatite or chlorapatite powders were fired in a laboratory furnace at the temperature of 900-1300°C. The samples of human enamel selected for the comparison with synthetic bioceramics were from Chinese adult teeth.
