Tips

memory
Build it up: 正常 (zhèngcháng) = 'normal', (jūn) = 'bacteria/microbe', (qún) = 'group/community'. The 'normal microbe community' — the friendly bacteria that should be there.
register
Medical/scientific term. In popular health writing you'll also see 微生物 (wēishēngwùzǔ, 'microbiome') and 肠道 (chángdào jūnqún, 'gut microbiome') — the latter has exploded in popularity with the gut-health trend.
