The Department of Anesthesia Techniques at the College of Health and Medical Technologies held a scientific workshop entitled “Normal Flora (Beneficial Bacteria): A Hidden Shield for Human Health” at 12:00 noon on Saturday, February 7, 2026.
The workshop was presented by:
-
Asst. Lecturer Kadhim Rahim Alwan – Lecturer
-
Asst. Lecturer Mukhtar Zuhair Naji – Rapporteur
The workshop addressed several important topics, including normal flora, which refers to microorganisms that naturally inhabit the human body without causing disease. These microorganisms play an important role in protecting the body against pathogenic organisms by competing with them and preventing microbial colonization.
The workshop also highlighted the role of normal flora in supporting the immune system by stimulating its maturation, enhancing the production of immunoglobulin A (IgA), and maintaining the integrity of mucous membranes. In addition, normal flora contributes to human nutrition through the synthesis of important vitamins.
