What do "microbes" have to do with social equity? These microorganisms are integral to our health, that of our natural environment, and even the "health" of the environments we build. The loss, gain, and retention of microorganisms-their flow between humans and the environment-can greatly impact our health. It is well-known that inequalities in access to perinatal care, healthy foods, quality housing, and the natural environment can create and arise from social inequality. Here, we focus on the argument that access to beneficial microorganisms is a facet of public health, and health inequality may be compounded by inequitable microbial exposure.

将对微生物的讨论作为人类健康中社会公平的一个方面。

“微生物”与社会公平有什么关系？这些微生物是我们健康，自然环境乃至我们构建环境的“健康”所不可或缺的。微生物的损失，获取和保留-它们在人与环境之间的流动-会极大地影响我们的健康。众所周知，在获得围产期保健，健康食品，优质住房和自然环境方面的不平等会造成社会不平等，并由此引发。在此，我们集中讨论获取有益微生物是公共卫生的一个方面，不平等的微生物暴露可能加剧健康不平等。
