Answer 2: Yes. The statement is completely in agreement with contemporary proceedings made in microbiology. Microbiome is omnipresent in our present environment, ranging from the food we eat to the air we breath, the places we reside in etc. A huge variety of microflora is also present inside our body as the gut-microbiome.
