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 are the beneficial functions of normal flora?
Normal flora, or the microbiota, play several beneficial roles in human health. They help maintain the balance of microbial communities, preventing harmful pathogens from colonizing the body. Additionally, they aid in digestion and nutrient absorption, produce essential vitamins like vitamin K and certain B vitamins, and contribute to the immune system by enhancing immune responses and protecting against infections. Overall, normal flora support overall health and homeostasis within the host.

Example of normal flora organusm?
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.

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.

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.
What does it mean to have normal oropharyngeal flora present in your throat?
Having normal oropharyngeal flora present in your throat means that there is a balanced population of microorganisms, such as bacteria and fungi, inhabiting the oropharynx without causing any harm or symptoms of infection. These microorganisms play a crucial role in maintaining the health of the throat by competing with potentially harmful pathogens for nutrients and space, thereby helping to prevent infections. Disruptions in the normal flora can lead to overgrowth of harmful bacteria, potentially resulting in infections or other health issues.
If most of the normal flora and for the most part transient microbes are not harmful then why must hands be scrubbed before surgery?
