Exogenous bacteria
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Exogenous bacteria are bacteria introduced to closed biological systems from the external world. They exist in water, earth, and the air. Examples are cholera, Legionella, salmonella, rickettsia, mycobacterium, and bacillus anthracis. Endogenous bacteria are part of our normal internal flora.
