The Adhesion of Cutaneous Micro-Organisms to Human Skin Lipids

Aerobic coryneforms are frequently the most abundant in the axillary microflora being isolated in up to 97.1% of individuals [1] and have been implicated in the production of under-arm odour [2]. Previous studies [3] have indicated that 16 androstene steroids secreted by apocrine glands in the axillae are transformed by certain aerobic coryneforms to the more odiferous 5α-androstenone and 3α(β)-androstenols. The axillae also display a high incidence of sebaceous glands secreting a large number of lipid moieties onto the skin surface which are free to interact with the local microflora. The aim of the current investigation was to isolate a range of aerobic coryneforms from the axillae of a group of adult human subjects. These isolates were then identified and screened to determine their potential action against steroidal components of apocrine secretion and their ability to adhere to a range of lipid moieties representing components of sebaceous secretion.
