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.

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.
