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.
