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.
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.
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.
What is skin Flora and where is it found in the body?
Skin flora refers to the diverse community of microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, and viruses, that naturally inhabit the skin's surface. These microbes play a crucial role in protecting the skin from pathogens, maintaining skin health, and supporting the immune system.

Is it normal to have 3 plus mixed skin flora within a wound?
Normal skin flora is a combination of many types of micro-organisms, including bacteria, viruses and yeast. When a wound occurs, some "normal flora" are introduced into the wound, especially in a penetrating wound such as a stabbing or shooting. When a wound culture is performed, the pathologist looks for "normal flora" which could become pathogens if the organisms begin to multiply, especially since those organisms of the normal flora are now in a place they should not normally be (i.e. transferred from the skin to inside the body, in a blood-rich environment). The pathologist also looks for other pathogens, such as the once-normal flora of the assailant or perpetrator which could infect the new host (the person with the wound).
