Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Transient microbiota are only present for a relatively short time and do not permanently colonize the host's body. In contrast, normal microbiota are established and live in harmony with the host for extended periods. Transient microbiota can be acquired through direct or indirect contact, and not all of them cause disease.
