Differentiate between normal flora transient and resident?
Normal flora are microorganisms that permanently reside in or on the body without causing harm, known as resident flora. Transient flora are temporarily present on the body and can be acquired through contact with the environment or other individuals. While resident flora play a role in maintaining health by competing with harmful bacteria, transient flora can potentially cause infections if they enter the body.
What is another term for normal flora?
Another term for normal flora is indigenous microbiota or resident flora.
What is the difference between resident flora and transient flora?
Resident flora are microorganisms that permanently reside on the skin or in the body, contributing to normal flora. Transient flora are temporary microorganisms that can be present on the skin or body for a short period before being removed through hand washing or other means.
How normal flora cause infection?
Normal body flora is generally helpful to the organism. In fact having normal body flora occupies space and resources that could otherwise be utilized by pathogens. However, some normal body flora can be harmful if the microbe enters an area of the body that it would not normally be found and can cause infection. These bacteria are known as opportunistic pathogens.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of normal flora of the vagina?

Names of bacteria in human beings?

What are the sites of normal flora?
Normal flora is present throughout the body and on all areas of the skin. Every body orifice (opening) contains normal flora: the mouth, ears, vagina, and rectum. E-Coli exists in the intestines. The skin contains a variety of flora that can turn into pathogens under the right conditions.
Does usual flora mean 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.
Differentiate between normal flora transient and resident?
Normal flora are microorganisms that permanently reside in or on the body without causing harm, known as resident flora. Transient flora are temporarily present on the body and can be acquired through contact with the environment or other individuals. While resident flora play a role in maintaining health by competing with harmful bacteria, transient flora can potentially cause infections if they enter the body.
How does resident normal flora protect the body against pathogens?
Resident normal flora compete with pathogens for nutrients and space, thereby preventing pathogens from colonizing and causing infections. Additionally, normal flora can produce substances that inhibit the growth of pathogens or modulate the immune response to promote defense against invading pathogenic organisms.
What is resident flora?

When do you get your normal flora?
Normal flora is bacteria and yeast normally found on the skin and in every body orifice (or opening, such as the mouth, ears, rectum, vagina). A newborn carries the flora of his/her mother but soon develops his/her own flora. Flora is present on our bodies until we die. We can disrupt the balance of normal flora, such as when women douche too frequently, and thus the microorganisms begin to multiply and become pathogens.
