CONT

Les germes sont dits saprophytes quand ils vivent à l'état normal sur ou dans l'organisme humain sain. Utiles pour la défense de l'organisme, ils n'engendrent normalement pas de maladies. Toutefois, chez un individu fragilisé par une maladie, ces germes peuvent proliférer de façon anormale et entraîner une auto-infection.
