Archaebacteria are considered non-pathogenic. This means they do not harm or affect their host organism in a negative way.
Archaebacteria can be found in many different environments, and the most common form found in humans is Methanobrevibacter smithii.
Luckily, it is completely harmless!

Can archaebacteria harm humans?
- Whilst certain bacteria and viruses that live in the human body cause illness and disease, archaebacteria don't affect us that way.
- They survive through techniques such as mutualism: where both the host and parasite benefit, and commensalism: Which is only an advantage to the parasite.
- Interestingly, until 1977, scientists didn't even know archaebacteria existed. The single-celled organisms were classified under the general term 'bacteria'.
- In the human body, archaebacteria are most commonly found in the gut, where they aid in the digestion of complex sugars.
