Effecting of the Excessive Use for the Cosmetics in the Skin Infections Aggravation

Abstract

25 samples (facial skin swaps) had been collected and studied from students at university of Kerbala – college of science who used cosmetics and aged 18-25 years old. 10 samples of materials used in beauty salons have been collected and studied as well. All samples have been cultured to detect the bacteria types grown in by using general and selective medias. Morphological characteristics had been studied and then microscopic test had been achieved. By using biochemical tests, the result was that the greater ratio 60% is of Staphylococcus aureus, 12% of Staphylococcus epidermis, 12% of Bacillus spp. , and 8% for both of Pseudomonas spp. And Streptococcus spp.. The collected samples from the materials used in beauty salons were contained two types of bacteria, 60% of Staphylococcus aureus. And 40% of Bacillus spp. . The isolated bacteria sensitivity test was achieved against some of antibiotics by using diffusion method on Muller Hinton Agar (M.H.A.) medium, this test proved that all studied samples were sensitive of Ciprofloxacin antibiotic, but all of them had resistant against (Ampicillin , Vancomycin , Trimethoprim , Cefotaxime) antibiotics
