Process of establishment of host beneficial bacteria (HBB) in the rhizosphere soil and the human gut. Application of HBB without additional measures frequently results in an unsuccessful establishment. To achieve a successful establishment of the HBB introduction of minor disturbances that empty host-associated niches in combination with improvements of the environment that create a new niche are suggested. Examples for the rhizosphere and the human gut.
