Staphylococcus epidermis

William Welch (1850-1934) was an American pathologist and microbiologist who first demonstrated that the bacteria that live on the skin, Staphylococcus epidermis, could cause wound infections. He was also the first to describe the anaerobic organism which causes gas gangrene, which was named Clostridium welchii after him.

The chief culprits in generating armpit odours are the bacteria Corynebacterium xerosis and Micrococcus luteus, with Staphylococcus epidermis and Staphylococcus aureus playing minor roles. There can be as many as ten million bacteria cells per square centimetre of armpit skin compared to only 1,000 on the skin of the forearm, and this is as true for women s armpits as for men s, and yet the odour women give off is different because it lacks some of the ingredients that male sweat contains. Male underarm odour has three components an acrid one, a musky one, and a pungent one. The first of these comes from short-to-medium chain acids, the second from steroid type molecules, and especially androstenone, and the third from sulfur-containing molecules. 

PTCC 1110), S. aureus (ATCC 25923), Staphylococcus epidermis (ATCC 12228) and Streptococcus mutans (PTCC 1601). Good antibacterial activity was observed for most of the compounds against all species of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria used in the study (Table 6). Compounds 67 were more potent than compounds 68. The majority of the compounds were found to be more active than...

A brief survey of the inhibitory nature was done with the products derived from thiourea and oxamide. The products were not inhibitory to any of the tested bacteria (Escherichia coli, Alcaligenes faecalis. Staphylococcus epidermis, Staphylococcus aureus, Enterobacter aerogenes, Neisseria mucosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae. Pseudomonas aeroginosa, Actinobacter calcoaceti-cus and Branhamella catarohilis). This is in direct contrast with the analogous platinum II polyhydrazines and polyamines where there is found widespread antibacterial activity for similar tests.
