    Glossary Bacterial Colonization

    process where bacteria establish themselves on a surface

    Bacterial colonization refers to the process by which bacteria establish themselves on a surface, such as the skin, mucous membranes, or other tissues, without necessarily causing an infection. This can be a normal part of the body's ecosystem, as beneficial bacteria help protect against harmful pathogens. However, in certain conditions, colonization can lead to infections or other health issues if the balance of bacteria is disrupted.
