What is an example of transient microbes?
Transient flora is a type of bacteria that is only present in that location for a small time. For example, if Streptococci pneumoniae (which is a residential flora [bacteria that is common at a specific location]) is on your skin, it would be considered a transient flora because it is not commonly there. Transient flora appear and disappear continuously.
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 do normal microbiota and transient microbiota differ?
Normal microbiota are permanently found in a specific body site, while transient microbiota are temporarily present and do not normally establish a long-term residence. Normal microbiota play important roles in host health and immune function, whereas transient microbiota can vary depending on factors like diet, hygiene, and environment.
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.

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.
