Q

Factors determining the distribution and composition of Normal Flora

A

Nutrients:
Microbes can only colonize body sites that can supply nutrients

Mechanical forces :
Chewing action dislodges microbes attached to the teeth
Saliva and GIT movement can remove unattached microbes.
Flushing action of the urine.
