This article is most interesting in its exploration of microbes and 
their role in the health of our bodies.  Be sure to read about the 
importance of vaginal birth and the colonization of an infant's skin 
as opposed to C-sections.  This has a lifelong impact--as we all know 
and science is discovering.  The article also addresses C-diff and MRSA.
