Detailed explanation-1: -Normal flora is found in all areas of the human body exposed to the environment (one exception is the lungs), but internal organs and body fluids are considered sterile in a healthy individual.
Detailed explanation-2: -Normal flora includes the microbes that permanently reside in a specific body site and is also known as resident flora. In contrast, transient flora is only temporarily present in the superficial regions of the body.
Detailed explanation-3: -What is Normal Flora and why is it Important? Normal flora are the microorganisms that live on another living organism (human or animal) or inanimate object without causing disease. The human body is not sterile; we become colonised by bacteria from the moment we are born.
