Milk sours because of the acid inside of it. No, pasturized milk does not sour as fast becasue of the bacterium that went away in the process of pasturization.
Sweet, I hope I get an A+!!
Milk sours quickly because it is almost a perfect medium to grow bacteria. If it is pasteurized, nearly all the bacteria were killed in that process, but some remain, and more likely, the milk can become contaminated with bacteria from the air. Being a near perfect medium to culture bacteria, milk needs to be refrigerated to keep the growth rate of bacterial at a slow pace.
