Why does milk smell sour after leaving it in an open air?

The milk gets infected with bacteria present in the environment, some of which produce acids and other compounds as a byproduct of their digestive process when they consume compounds present in the milk. That's what gives it the sour taste and sometimes rank smell. If you inoculate it with the right strain of bacteria, lactobacillus acidophilus being one, you get yogurt. L. acidophilus consumes lactose, a sugar in the milk, and produces lactic acid that gives yogurt its tangy flavour.
