Is it true that the microorganisms in the gut are either good or bad?

FALSE

As long as the microorganisms stay at stable levels, even potentially harmful ones like E. coli can live without causing harm. The microbiome is exactly that – a small separate ecological community that exists in isolation in your gut. As long as it is in the correct balance for your own individual needs even deadly bacteria can live there and cause no problems.
