Million of bacteria grow in our gut and each have their own set of genes , that helps them to survive acidic environment of the gut. They can have both beneficial and harmful effect to your health.

While the bacteria in lungs causes symptoms similar to the cold or flu, it can be more severe and typically last longer. Immune system will typically be able to clear a viral lung infection over time. Infections can be cured by using antibiotics also .

On the other hand bacteria on skin can survive up to 20 minutes .Human skin also act as barrier that limits invasion and growth of pathogenic bacteria. Human body has a lot of defenses to keep the bad bacteria from coming in too far through these openings.

For the answer to the question above, punctuated equilibrium (also called punctuated equilibria) is a theory in evolutionary biology which proposes that most species will exhibit little net evolutionary change for most of their geological history, remaining in an extended state called stasis. When significant evolutionary change occurs, the theory proposes that it is generally restricted to rare and rapid (on a geologic time scale) events of branching speciation called cladogenesis. Cladogenesis is the process by which a species splits into two distinct species, rather than one species gradually transforming into another.
