Example - Streptococcus oralis and Streptococcus salivarius .

Commensal microorganisms plays an important role against pathogens including respiratory pathogens. It acts on the host's immune system to induce protective response that prevents colonization an invasion by pathogens. On the other hand these bacteria can directly inhibits the growth of respiratory pathogens by producing antimicrobial products .it also competing for nutrients and adhesion sites. Provides the host with essential nutrients.

<h3>What are microbes ?</h3>

Microbes are tiny living things that are found all around us and  are too small to be seen by eye. They live in soil, water and in air. The human body is the home of trillions of microbes.
