Was my mother’s womb a sterile room?

Was my mother’s womb a sterile room?

To humans, the ecosystem of gut microbes is a universe in itself.
The creation and destruction of planets takes billions of years, but the creation and destruction of the gut ecosystem takes place in a very short period of time, which is no different from the creation and destruction of the universe in human life.

The theory that the mother’s uterus is a sterile room is a very dominant and well-known theory. However, there is also an argument that there is no completely sterile room anywhere on Earth. In fact, various microorganisms have been confirmed in amniotic fluid and meconium.

At first, I doubted if there was a problem with the experiment, but as it was repeated, the accumulated data increasingly told me that there are bacteria in the intestines from birth. However, I don’t know if those bacteria are alive. (There are bacteria even near volcanic craters… so do you think there aren’t any there?)
It was a very small amount, but it was definitely there. Even though the Big Bang is said to be the beginning of the beginning from nothing, seeds must have existed there, and it seems that those seeds are in the human intestines.

The rate of bacterial growth is about 15 to 20 minutes. If conditions are perfect, one bacterium can grow to tens of trillions (10^21) in a day. However, in reality, the growth rate and the rate of disappearance or discharge are balanced, and tens of trillions of bacteria exist.

For a very long time, humans and bacteria have been domesticated and harmonized with each other. They live attached to the intestinal wall, are excreted through feces, or are balanced in the skin and various organs.
In any ecosystem, excessive interference upsets the balance, and the broken balance is not good for health. We are interested in understanding that order.

It is important to analyze the genetic properties of bacteria by analyzing DNA in great detail, but we are doing our job to measure the overall harmony and relationship as if looking at a large forest to create the most appropriate environment for each individual. In
order to recognize the human body as a very complex biochemical factory and measure more diverse output values ​​for various variable inputs, a lot of reference data and computing power are needed. Valid input data is very important.
We are trying to find out which bacteria are prevalent before diabetes occurs and what it is like before colon cancer occurs. We are trying to analyze the various things that bacteria in the human body do by entering more diverse parameters.

I want to know what kind of forest it becomes when a river flows through it and it becomes a swamp, and what kind of forest it becomes when the water dries up. If
I know more precisely what causes disruption of order, I think I can prevent it.

Even if it’s not for such a grand purpose, aren’t you curious about what kind of bacteria are inside your body?
