While the researchers did not identify the specific species of bacteria living in each household, they were able to say that most of the organisms they found are not disease-causing \u2013 and may actually provide some benefits.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe co-exist with bacteria and healthy, small exposures to bacteria do not pose any risk and might, on the other hand, be beneficial, as long as we keep a good hygienic environment,\u201d said Dr. Rani Gereige, director of medical education at Miami Children&#8217;s Hospital.\u00a0 Gereige was not involved in the research.<\/p>\n<p>A recent study found that exposure to a microorganisms from a pet during a child\u2019s first year of life of life may help ramp up the immune system, <a>lowering the risk of developing allergies<\/a> later.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cResearch has actually shown that mothers who live with dogs while pregnant are less likely to have children with conditions like atopic dermatitis or to develop allergies,\u201d said veterinarian Dr. Andy Roark of Greenville, S.C.<\/p>\n<p>Certain bacteria from dogs \u2013 such as salmonella and listeria &#8212; can cause infections in humans, however, so it is important to be vigilant, he cautions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is always a good idea for both adults and children to wash hands after playing with pets, especially before eating,\u201d said Roark.<\/p>\n<p>The study did not control for certain factors that could affect bacterial growth, such as household climate and cleanliness, and there were not enough homes with cats to accurately analyze the feline contribution to residential bacteria.\u00a0 The researchers did not analyze whether certain dog breeds harbor more bacteria than others.<\/p>\n<p>The microbes found throughout the different homes<b> <\/b>fell into three general groups: those that come from skin and live on surfaces we touch, such as door knobs and toilet seats; bacteria linked to food found in kitchens; and organisms found in places where dust gathers, such as television screens and moldings.<\/p>\n<p>Menninger added that the research team is in the process of analyzing samples and other data from a total of 1,300 homes across the United States.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe know we have all these bacteria in our home,\u201d said Menninger.\u00a0 \u201cLet\u2019s learn to live with them.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Homes with dogs have more bacteria and greater diversity of bacteria than those without dogs, according to a North Carolina State University study, but that doesn&#8217;t necessarily mean people living with canine friends face any additional health risks.
