Most women are surprised to learn they have a normal flora that contains yeast (men and women carry this flora). Women try so hard (too much) to keep the vagina "clean" often using douches one or more times a day. Then the Ph in the vagina changes and the normal yeast begins to multiply and the woman gets a "yeast infection". Although it seems to contradict what many women believe about physical health (especially for the vagina), trying to be "very clean" can actually set off the sequence of events that allows microorganisms to become pathogens and cause infection.

Does usual flora mean normal flora?

What is another term for normal flora?

Normal flora in the specific body region?
The normal flora varies by body region. For example, the skin has bacteria like Staphylococcus epidermidis, while the gut has bacteria like Bacteroides and Firmicutes. These normal flora help protect against pathogenic invaders and play a role in maintaining health.
Why normal flora does not make any problem?
You said that in your answer too. As the flora is normal, there is no harm
Can you prevent getting disease in normal flora?
Normal flora cannot cause a "disease". But if normal flora is disrupted it can become a pathogen and then cause infection. Some diseases, like diabetes, can disrupt normal flora and cause infection, especially yeast infections on the skin or in the vagina of women.
Can normal flora be harmful?
Normal flora exists on and in the body. But certain normal flora lives only in certain body areas. For example, we have E-Coli microorganisms in the large intestines, rectum, and on the skin around the anus. If that flora is "moved" to a different body area, say in the mouth (from not washing hands after wiping away a bowel movement) or in the vagina (from wiping back to front), then infection can occur. Some diseases make normal flora multiply. For example, yeast is found on the skin, mouth, and in the vagina. People with diabetes can have frequent yeast infections in the mouth, vagina, and in skin folds.
What is the value of skin flora?
In general, your "normal" skin flora protect you from "rogue" flora which might do you harm.
Is virus a normal flora?
yes
Where part of the body has no normal flora?
The brain and spinal cord have no normal flora, as they are considered sterile environments in healthy individuals.
Can normal flora become opportunistic pathogens?
Yes, normal microbial flora can become virulent or pathogenic if the conditions are right. On outside of body normal flora is harmless, if it was to be ingested it would take the opportunity to do as much damage as possible.

What is the normal flora of CSF?
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is typically a sterile fluid, meaning it should not contain any normal flora. The presence of bacteria in the CSF is abnormal and can indicate an infection, such as meningitis.
