No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Bothersome odor from the axilla is in most cases caused by Corynebacterium spp. Anti-microbial effects of zinc oxide (ZnO) are well documented.

The overall objective of this study is to verify that repeated applications of a ZnO containing formulation can be directly linked to reduced growth of Corynebacterium spp. in the axillae.

Conditions

  • Microbiome of the Axillae
