how microorganisms enter the body?

What microorganisms cause infection?

In my opinion, it is useful to put together a list of the most interesting details from trusted sources that I've come across answering what microorganisms are used in food production. Here are 8 of the best facts about Microorganisms Meaning and Microorganisms Friend And Foe I managed to collect.

6. In agriculture, seed-treatment using cow-dung and cow-urine based inoculant produces higher germination rate, greater seedling length and stronger seedling vigor than those untreated by this inoculant. This is caused due to presence of beneficial micro organisms in cow-dung and cow-urine.
