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.

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 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.

How can normal flora become virulent?

Normal flora can become virulent through several mechanisms, including genetic mutations that enhance their pathogenicity, the acquisition of virulence factors via horizontal gene transfer, or changes in the host's immune status that allow these microorganisms to overgrow and cause infection. Environmental factors, such as antibiotic use or disruption of the microbiome, can also shift the balance, allowing normally benign organisms to become opportunistic pathogens. Additionally, when normal flora enter sterile areas of the body, such as through injury or surgical procedures, they can lead to infections.

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.
