U.S. scientists have discovered that the human foot is home to about two hundred different species of fungi colonies.
A study of these scientists that the fungi live on the surface of the human body as a whole, but the most favored places for them is the heel and the bottom of the foot and nails between the toes.
In a report published in the journal Nature on Scientific Affairs, scientists said the new map to the diversity of fungi on the surface of the human body may help in the fight against skin conditions predisposing to settle fungi as is the case for the feet of the players.
And non-harmful fungi live on the surface of the skin on as normal but they cause infection if proliferated.
And managed a team of American Scientists, in the first study of its kind, identifying a list of different groups of fungi that live on the surface of the skin for a group of healthy adults.
The team also managed, of the National Institute for Human Genome Research in the U.S. state of Maryland, to track DNA (DNA ATI), the fungi that live on the surface of the skin in 14 different areas of the body using ten of healthy adults.
The scientists took samples from the ear canal and between the eyebrows and the back of the head, behind the ear and heel and toe nails and between the toes and forearms and nostrils and the chest and the palm of the hand and the elbow joint.
The data showed variation in the abundance of fungi in different position on the surface of the body, as it was most areas استيطانا for the fungi is a heel area which is home to about 80 species of fungi.
Enormous diversity
Scientists monitoring about 60 species in the toes and nails 40 species between the toes.
The most prominent of the sites where fungi settlement with the palm of the hand, forearm, elbow, which included moderate levels of fungi, ranging from 18 to 32 species.
Said Julia Seager, a researcher at the U.S. National Institute of Health, "Our study provides data indicative of the ordinary people was not available previously."
"The index is our feet that teeming with diversity instinctive, so we recommend wearing shoes vents in the rooms if you want to avoid confusion between your foot fungi and fungi someone else."
The study identifies the normal fungi on all the surface of the skin so as to allow a framework to discuss the predisposing conditions for fungi on the surface of the skin.
And monitoring of scientists in the study that 20 percent of the volunteers have problems with fungal infection.
Scientists believe that the lack of balance of microbes may create an opportunity for the proliferation of harmful microbes and disease.
Commenting on the study, said Paul Dyer, a fungus expert at the University of Nottingham, said fungi may coexist naturally on the surface of the body without causing any harm to the people, exception of those who are vulnerable in the immune system.
The BBC said "it shows tremendous diversity of fungi that grow on the human body, and this is much larger than we know."
