What terminology is not used for resident flora?
pathogenic flora
Can resident flora cause infection?
Yes
What is another term for normal flora?
Another term for normal flora is indigenous microbiota or resident flora.
Differentiate between normal flora transient and resident?
Normal flora are microorganisms that permanently reside in or on the body without causing harm, known as resident flora. Transient flora are temporarily present on the body and can be acquired through contact with the environment or other individuals. 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.
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.

What is transient flora?
Microorganisms that colonize the host for hours to weeks but do not establish themselves permanently are called transient flora
How does resident normal flora protect the body against pathogens?
Resident normal flora compete with pathogens for nutrients and space, thereby preventing pathogens from colonizing and causing infections. Additionally, normal flora can produce substances that inhibit the growth of pathogens or modulate the immune response to promote defense against invading pathogenic organisms.
What practice is designed to eliminate both transient and resident hand flora?
No rinse alcohol. Based rub
Are all members of the resident flora of th mouth capable of initiating dental caries?
Not all members of the resident flora of the mouth are capable of initiating dental caries. Dental caries primarily occur due to specific cariogenic bacteria, such as Streptococcus mutans and Lactobacillus species, which can metabolize sugars to produce acids that demineralize tooth enamel. While other bacteria in the oral microbiome can contribute to oral health or disease, they do not necessarily have the same cariogenic potential. Therefore, only certain bacteria within the resident flora are directly involved in the development of dental caries.
Does usual flora mean normal flora?
Yes, usual flora, normal flora, and typical flora are all normal results.
