"But something we have learned over the years is that a microbe doesn't have to be abundant to have an impact on the host."

In this study, survival means that a microbe remains alive for at least one Earth day.

Like any pandemic, the Black Death was simultaneously a biological and a social event—shaped by both the innate characteristics of a microbe and such all-too-human factors as political systems, religious beliefs and public-health responses.

Previous work has shown that the hardy microbe can withstand radiation and desiccation, making it a candidate for interplanetary survival.

In other words, finding certain microbes in people who age more slowly does not necessarily mean those bacteria are responsible for slowing the aging process.
