Les deux grands réservoirs de bactéries sur la terre sont le sol et les eaux d'une part, le tube digestif des animaux de l'autre. C'est ce second écosystème que nous prendrons comme exemple dans la suite. Parmi les bactéries utiles, on trouve en permanence dans le tube digestif de l'homme une population bactérienne complexe capable d'agir souvent positivement sur l'individu qui les héberge. On classe également parmi les bactéries utiles celles qui ont été domestiquées par l'homme (yaourts, produits laitiers fermentés...). 2, record 1, French, - bact%C3%A9ries%20utiles
