Primary screening involves initial screening of a large number of samples to identify potential candidates with desired characteristics, while secondary screening involves more detailed testing of the selected candidates to confirm their suitability for further development. Primary screening is more high-throughput and aims to identify hits, whereas secondary screening focuses on validating hits and determining their specific properties.
The difference between male and female can be determined by physical characteristics such as reproductive organs, secondary sexual characteristics, and genetic makeup.
Harmless microorganisms are typically not harmful to humans and may even provide benefits, such as aiding digestion. Pathogens, on the other hand, are microorganisms that can cause disease or infection in their host. Pathogens are often identified by their ability to disrupt normal bodily functions or trigger an immune response.

Essentially, all microorganisms are organisms, but not all organisms are microorganisms.
Resident flora are microorganisms that permanently reside on the skin or in the body, contributing to normal flora. Transient flora are temporary microorganisms that can be present on the skin or body for a short period before being removed through hand washing or other means.
