How are normal flora originally acquired?
The fetus is surrounded by amniotic fluid of its mother. It acquires the normal flora of its mother. After birth, the newborn begins to acquire its own "normal flora". Humans have normal flora on their skin and in every body throughout life; it is not completely washed away although it can be changed, reduced, or disrupted by medications or changes in Ph or by actions humans take during hygiene or sexual activities. Then micro-oganisms of the normal flora become pathogens that can cause infection.

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.
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 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.

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).
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.
