Flora literally means flowers. This word is used for micro organisms in the large intestine. They play very important role in your body. You can not survive for long without this flora. They produce few important vitamins like vitamin K. Some times these normal flora is killed by the use of broad spectrum antibiotics. The patient get the condition called as pseudomembranous colitis. Patient can die of loose motion in this case, unless promptly and properly treated. This fact highlights the importance of the micro flora. Such type of bacteria are present on your skin also. At times they are replaced by the abnormal bacteria. The person emits body odour. His social life is adversely affected in that case.
What else can I help you with?
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).
Endogenous infectious agents arise from microbes that are?
naturally present or originate within the host's body, such as bacteria or viruses. These agents can cause diseases when they disrupt the body's normal functioning and immune response.
Is streptococcus bovis a part of normal bacterial flora?
Streptococcus bovis is not considered a normal part of the bacterial flora in humans. It can be found in the gastrointestinal tract of some individuals, but it is not a common or typical component of the normal flora.
Does the host cell usually benefit from having a virus?
The host cell does not benefit from having a virus. The virus usually kills it.
What are the benefits of biofilm made by normal flora?
Longevity.
Does usual flora mean normal flora?
Yes, usual flora, normal flora, and typical flora are all normal results.
What is another term for normal flora?
Another term for normal flora is indigenous microbiota or resident flora.
Why normal flora does not make any problem?
You said that in your answer too. As the flora is normal, there is no harm
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 is the value of skin flora?
In general, your "normal" skin flora protect you from "rogue" flora which might do you harm.
How does micro-flora benefit humans?
Micro-flora or microbiotas benefit humans by using up most nutrients before the bad microflora does. By doing this the bad micro-flora cannot grow out of control and causing damage.

Is virus a normal flora?
yes
Where part of the body has no normal flora?
The brain and spinal cord have no normal flora, as they are considered sterile environments in healthy individuals.
Can normal flora become opportunistic pathogens?
Yes, normal microbial flora can become virulent or pathogenic if the conditions are right. On outside of body normal flora is harmless, if it was to be ingested it would take the opportunity to do as much damage as possible.
What is the normal flora of CSF?
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is typically a sterile fluid, meaning it should not contain any normal flora. The presence of bacteria in the CSF is abnormal and can indicate an infection, such as meningitis.
When do you get your normal flora?
Normal flora is bacteria and yeast normally found on the skin and in every body orifice (or opening, such as the mouth, ears, rectum, vagina). A newborn carries the flora of his/her mother but soon develops his/her own flora. Flora is present on our bodies until we die. We can disrupt the balance of normal flora, such as when women douche too frequently, and thus the microorganisms begin to multiply and become pathogens.
