Solution

Microbes on the skin can be classified into several categories:

  1. Normal flora: These are the microbes that are naturally present on our skin and are usually harmless. They can even be beneficial by preventing harmful microbes from colonizing the skin.

  2. Pathogens: These are harmful microbes that can cause diseases. They are not usually present on healthy skin but can colonize it under certain conditions, such as when the skin is damaged or when the immune system is weakened.

  3. Transient: These are microbes that are temporarily present on the skin. They do not normally reside on the skin but can be picked up from the environment.

The terms "Microsecular", "Extraepicellular", and "Intracellular" do not typically apply to the classification of skin microbes. "Intracellular" refers to something inside a cell, but most skin microbes live on the surface of the skin, not inside skin cells. "Microsecular" and "Extraepicellular" are not standard terms in microbiology.
