Flu virus for example, from time to time, always giving rise to new virus mutates such as bird flu and swine flu. Meanwhile, various types of bacteria begin to form a resistance to many antibiotics so it does not work anymore treated.
Although research to discover new antibiotics has always done, the emergence of new germs either in the form of viruses, bacteria or other microorganisms can never be avoided. Until whenever humans will continue to coexist with germs.
"We'll never win the battle. Man must live in harmony with the germs," said Secretary General of the Association of Infection Control Indionesia (Perdalin), Dr. Latre Buntaran, Sp-MK in Jakarta, Friday (12/11/2010).
Dr. Latre who is also a consultant clinical microbiologist at the Harapan Kita Hospital said that most people can do is control the germs. Because according to him, everyone basically has germs in his body but not forever going to be a disease.
"There are two things that determine the bacteria will be a disease or not. The first number, then the second is the condition of a person's immune system," he added.
The human body has a certain tolerance so that germs can enter without causing disease as long as its durability is good. If the number of germs that enter through the boundary that can be tolerated, then the germs that would be the case.
As long as that limit has not been reached, the entry of germs actually beneficial because the body will form antibodies or immunity against the germ. The more diverse types of germs that enter, the more immunity possessed by a person.
"As long as its durability is good, sometimes haphazardly on the roadside snack that's okay because the entry of germs can actually be a natural vaccination," said Chairman Perdalin, Prof. Dr. Djoko Wibowo, DTM & H, SpPD-KPTI.
