Part One:
The human non-infectious diseases that I could think of that are influenced by microorganisms are:
- choric kidney disease
- GI disorder
- autoimmune disease
- Alzheimer’s disease
- Asthma
- Inflammatory Bowel Disease
- Atherosclerosis
- Colon Cancer
Part Two:
Refer to first writing Excercise I did at the beginning of this term, I knew more information about microbes. I added more non-infectious diseases that I think are influenced by microorganisms because I have read more articles during the term, as well as understanding how those microbes could affect us. the most important topics I will take away with me once I have completed the course would be “Microbe and Cancer”, as well as the “Probiotic, Prebiotic, and symbiotic”. The first topic was the one that I was interested at the beginning of the terms, the second one was the one I like, I would never think of probiotic would be used as a treatment for IBD. During the course, I have understood how microbes play roles in human health, as well as how they interact with different systems inside of our bodies.
