the intestines have a plethora of micro organisms which mainly include the Lactobacillus group that produce lactic acid. E.coli is also found in some amounts. The main significance of these intestinal micro organisms is that they prevent the growth of other harmful pathogenic organisms as they compete for basic nutrition.

Others are your nasal passages and even your lungs. Your urinary tract and your reproductive tract also. That leaves the 'inside' of your body that is sterile or germ free.
