Slide 1-

Microbial Flora of Human Body (Normal Flora)
Slide 2-

NORMAL FLORA: These are mixture of micro-organisms regularly found at any anatomical site on or within the body of a healthy person.
Slide 3-

Factors influencing normal flora: The makeup of the normal flora depends upon various factors, including: Genetics Age Sex Stress Nutrition Diet Antiobiotic & other drugs
Slide 4-

Normal Microbial Flora: Resident Flora: Microbes that are always present on or within body Transient Flora: Microbes that live in or on the body for a period of time (hours, days, weeks, months) then move on or die off
Slide 5-

Anatomical sites involved: Skin Eyes (i.e Conjunctiva) Nose (i.e Respiratory tract) Mouth (i.e Human Oral Cavity) Ears Genitourinary tract Alimentary canal

Slide 11-

Normal Flora of the Respiratory Tract: C) The lower respiratory tract:(trachea, bronchi, and pulmonary tissues): Usually sterile. The individual may become susceptible to infection by pathogens descending from the nasopharynx: e.g. H. influenzae, S. pneumoniae

Slide 15-

Normal flora of the Urogenital Tract: a) The anterior urethra: 1. Staphylococcus epidermidis 2. Enterococcus faecalis 3. Alpha-hemolytic streptococci. 4. Some enteric bacteria (e.g. E. coli, Proteus sp.) 5. Corynebacteria sp. 6. Acinetobacter sp. 7. Mycoplasma sp. 8. Candida sp. 9. Mycobacterium smegmatis

Slide 17-

Vaginal Flora:
Slide 18-

Urethritis:
Slide 19-

Normal flora - Gastrointestinal tract
Slide 20-

Normal Flora of the Gastrointestinal Tract (GIT): In breast-fed infants : 1. Bifido bacteria account for more than 90% of the total intestinal bacteria. 2. Enterobacteriaceae 3. Enterococci 4. Bacteroides 5. Staphylococci 6. Lactobacilli 7. Clostridia
Slide 21-

Normal Flora of the Gastrointestinal Tract (GIT): In bottle-fed infants: Bifidobacteria are not predominant. When breast-fed infants are switched to a diet of cow's milk or solid food, bifidobacteria are progressively joined by: 1. Enterics 2. Bacteroides 3. Enterococci 4. Lactobacilli 5. Clostridia
Slide 22-

Normal Flora of the Gastrointestinal Tract (GIT): In the upper GIT of adult humans mainly acid-tolerant lactobacilli present: e.g. Helicobacter pylori
Slide 23-

Normal Flora of the Gastrointestinal Tract (GIT): The proximal small intestine: 1. Lactobacilli 2. Enterococcus faecalis 3. Coliforms 4. Bacteroides
Slide 24-

The flora of the large intestine (colon): Enterococci Clostridia Lactobacilli Bacteroides Bifidobacterium (Bifidobacterium bifidum) Escherichia coli Methanogenic bacteria Viridans streptococci Staphylococcus sp. Proteus sp. Candida albicans (Yeast) Mycoplama sp.
Slide 25-

THE ROLE/ BENEFITS OF THE NORMAL FLORA: 1. The normal flora synthesize and excrete vitamins in excess of their own needs, which can be absorbed as nutrients by the host. For example, enteric bacteria secrete Vitamin K and Vitamin B12, and lactic acid bacteria produce certain B-vitamins.
Slide 26-

THE ROLE/ BENEFITS OF THE NORMAL FLORA: 2. The normal flora prevent colonization by pathogens by competing for attachment sites or for essential nutrients. This important beneficial effect, which has been demonstrated in the oral cavity, the intestine, the skin, and the vaginal epithelium.
Slide 27-

THE ROLE/ BENEFITS OF THE NORMAL FLORA: 3. The normal flora may antagonize other bacteria through the production of substances which inhibit or kill non-indigenous species. Intestinal bacteria produce a variety of substances like non-specific fatty acids, peroxides and highly specific bacteriocins, which inhibit or kill other bacteria.
Slide 28-

THE ROLE/ BENEFITS OF THE NORMAL FLORA: 4. The normal flora stimulates the development of certain tissues, i.e., the caecum (in animals) and certain lymphatic tissues (Peyer's patches) in the GI tract. The caecum of germ-free animals is enlarged, thin-walled, and fluid-filled, compared to that organ in conventional animals.
Slide 29-

THE ROLE/ BENEFITS OF THE NORMAL FLORA: 5. The normal flora stimulates the production of “cross-reactive antibodies’’. Since the normal flora behave as antigens in an animal, they induce an Ab mediated immune response. Low levels of antibodies produced against components of the normal flora are known to cross react with certain related pathogens, and thereby prevent infection or invasion.
Slide 30-

Sterile tissues: In a healthy human, the internal tissues such as: blood brain muscle Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) are normally free of microorganisms.
Slide 31-

Role of Microbiologist: Accurate diagnosis: by Rapid/ quick, meaningful reporting Role of Physician: Proper treatment with antimicrobial regimen/ standard guidelines by avoiding overuse*/ misuse of antimicrobials * by treating pathogen, NOT the normal flora!!

NATURAL MICROBIAL HABITATS Soil Water Air Animals and Animal Products
Slide 33-

PATHOGEN ENVIRONMENT HOST DISEASE TRIAD Host-Parasite Interactions OTHER MICROBES Microbial Interactions
Slide 34-

Symbiotic Relationship: Mutualistic/ mutualism: Both organisms benefit – “mutually benefical” Commensalistic/ commensalism: One organism benefits, the other is neither helped nor harmed Opportunistic: Under normal conditions, microbe does not cause disease, but if conditions become conducive , it can cause disease. (Immuno-compromised or immuno-suppressed conditions)
Slide 35-

Mutualistic Escherichia coli : Synthesizes Vitamin K & B complex Vitamins In return, we provide a warm, moist nutrient rich environment for Escherichia coli
Slide 36-

Commensalistic We have no Commensalistic relationships with Bacteria If Bacteria are in or on our body, they are either helping us (Microbial Antagonism) or harming us.
Slide 37-

Opportunistic: Escherichia coli - normally in our digestive tract where it causes no problems, but if it gets into the urinary tract it can become pathogenic. Staphylococcus aureus – commonly found in the upper respiratory tract, but if it gets into a wound or a burn it can become pathogenic
Slide 38-

Probiotics/ Prebiotics: Probiotic: Oral administration of living organisms to promote health Species specific: adherence and growth (tropism) Prebiotic: Non-digestible food that stimulates growth or activity of GI microbiota, especially bifidobacteria and lactobacillus bacteria Typically a carbohydrate: soluble fiber
Slide 39-

KEY QUESTIONS: 1. Define normal microbial flora. Mention the role/ benefits of normal flora in human body. 2. Normal flora of mouth and upper respiratory tract. 3. Normal flora of skin. 4. Normal flora of gastro-intestinal tract. 5. Normal flora of genitourinary tract.

Culture: Readily grow on ordinary media. Requires incubation for 3 weeks, usually produce pigmented colonies. Pathogenesis: Mainly produces opportunistic infections in immuno-compromised persons. Causes mainly pulmonary disease like pneumonia, lung abscess or lesion resembling tubercolosis. May cause mycetoma.
