Microbial diversity is vast, with bacteria playing a crucial role in human health. However, data on the locations (geographic occurrence) of bacteria associated with humans remain scarce. This lack of information hinders our understanding of human-microbe relationships and disease prevention. Here, we show that existing solutions, such as France's Système d'Information sur le Patrimoine Naturel (SINP) framework, can be used to efficiently collect and manage occurrence data on human-associated bacteria. This user-friendly system allows medical personnel to easily share and access data on bacterial pathogens. By implementing similar national infrastructures and considering human-associated bacteria as biodiversity data, we can significantly improve public health research and our understanding of the One Health concept, which emphasizes the interconnectedness of human, animal, and environmental health.
