Normal floras are the microorganisms that live in our body in a relatively stable manner without causing any negative effect on the host\u2019s body. These bacteria and fungi colonize in the skin and mucous membrane throughout the life or for a short period of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Normal Flora of Skin, Hair, and Nail<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Skin is the outermost covering of our body. It not only protects our body from invading microorganisms but ironically is a home for a wide variety of bacteria and fungi. Skin is full of normal micro floras which re-establish themselves when disturbed during bathing or other physical activities. Skin floras are influenced by dryness of the skin, pH, salt concentration, oiliness, and direct exposure to the environment (clothing habit). Moist areas like the perianal region, groin areas, face, inner thigh part, and scalp have more diversity. Both Gram-positive and negative bacteria are found in such moist areas in higher numbers. The remaining dry parts are dominated by Gram-positive bacteria<\/a> with a comparatively less population. Body hair also harbors lots of bacterial and fungal flora on its surface. Nail contains more fungal flora than other parts of the body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
