Material-dependent growth of human skin bacteria on textiles investigated using challenge tests and DNA genotyping
25 Jun 2009
Abstract excerpt
AIMS: To investigate the influence of different fibre materials on the colonization of textiles by skin bacteria present in human sweat. METHODS AND RESULTS: The total bacterial content of axillary sweat samples was determined using DNA quantification, and the diversity of bacteria present was investigated. Fabrics made of different fibres were then challenged with these sweat samples; the bacterial DNA was...
