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).


How does normal flora benefit the host?

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 does it mean to have normal oropharyngeal flora present in your throat?

Having normal oropharyngeal flora present in your throat means that there is a balanced population of microorganisms, such as bacteria and fungi, inhabiting the oropharynx without causing any harm or symptoms of infection. These microorganisms play a crucial role in maintaining the health of the throat by competing with potentially harmful pathogens for nutrients and space, thereby helping to prevent infections. Disruptions in the normal flora can lead to overgrowth of harmful bacteria, potentially resulting in infections or other health issues.

Antigenic stimulation provided by intestinal flora is considered important in ensuring the normal development of the immune system. skin bacteria produce fatty acids. gut bacteria release vitamin B and K


How normal flora cause infection?

Normal body flora is generally helpful to the organism. In fact having normal body flora occupies space and resources that could otherwise be utilized by pathogens.

These bacteria are known as opportunistic pathogens.
