These interactions assume various relationships ranging from symbiotic at one end of the spectrum to pathogenic/parasitic at the other end.

Human systems are tuned to recognize and sense almost all kinds of living and dead molecules and organisms. Taking advantage of these human senses, vaccines are developed to protect humans against pathogenic organisms. Vaccine development being a very complex phenomenon has been pursued for a limited number of diseases. Interestingly, in spite of the presence of a mechanism to prevent entry of foreign entities, human bodies house a large number of microbes on the skin su
