Bacteria, similar to most organisms, have a love–hate relationship with metals: a specific
metal may be essential for survival yet toxic in certain forms and concentrations. Metal ions …

The microbiomes on human body surfaces affect health in multiple ways. They include not
only commensal or mutualistic bacteria but also potentially pathogenic bacteria, which can …
