Abstract

Contact with foreign microorganisms in/on the human body leads to infection. This process is accompanied by the interaction of foreign microorganisms with human microbiota and factors of innate immunity. When overcoming these protective barriers (colonization resistance and local immunity), creating of own microbial colonies occurs, infecting with the following development of the state, called disease, takes place.
