A member asked:
What happens if e coli flourishes on oxygen provided by humans, then who is unaffected and who is benefited ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Homework, right?: E coli can thrive with or without oxygen. Humankind provides the gut flora a place to live, along with nutrients and oxygen. Whether and how the gut flora benefit us is the subject of "discussion" -- don't believe everything you read, and learn your teacher's prejudices before you answer.
