“…The only work that tested cosmetic contaminants for their antibiotic sensitivity was published by Osungunna et al [4]. These results presented by these authors are in agreement with ours in regard to the multi-drug resistance exhibited by the 3 isolates of P. aeruginosa but differed in case of the Staphylococcus aureus.…”

“…These results presented by these authors are in agreement with ours in regard to the multi-drug resistance exhibited by the 3 isolates of P. aeruginosa but differed in case of the Staphylococcus aureus. In fact, 100 % of the isolates of Osungunna et al [4] were resistant to 54.5 % of the antibiotics used. In contrast to our findings where multidrug resistance was demonstrated in 77.8 % of the isolates, 55.5 % of our isolates were resistant to fewer antibiotics.…”

“…Flores et al [3] isolated several bacterial species from contaminated cosmetics and found that many of the isolates exhibited resistance to more than one preservative category; no correlation between preservatives and antibiotic resistance was made. On the other hand, Osungunna et al [4] indicated that bacterial contaminants of cosmetics were resistant to many antibiotics, but again this resistance was not correlated to that of preservatives.…”

“…Cosmetics applied on the skin can be contaminated during their use and can serve as a source of opportunistic pathogens (Osungunna et al, 2010). There are also some reports (Lundov & Zachariae, 2008;Budecka & Kunicka-Styczyńska, 2014) on microbiologically contaminated cosmetic products due to raw materials' low quality or improper hygiene of the production environment.…”

Opportunistic Gram-negative rods' capability of creating biofilm structures on polivynyl chloride and styrene-acronitrile copolymer surfaces

et al. 2015

Biofilms are highly organized microbial communities displaying high resistance to disinfectants and other external environmental factors. Medical equipment, such as stents and catheters, can be colonized by a variety of bacteria including opportunistic pathogens circulating in the environment and dangerous to immunocompromised patients. Application of materials resistant to biofilm formation will minimize the risk of patients' infection. Hence, the aim of this research was to determine the biofilm growth of environmental bacteria isolates on polyvinyl chloride and styrene-acronitrile copolymer surfaces. Nine strains (Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Burkholderia cepacia and Serratia liquefacies) isolated from cosmetics, and a reference P. aeruginosa strain ATCC 15442, were tested. The ability and dynamics of biofilm formation on intubation catheters (30°C, up to 24 h) in bacterial growth cultures (10(7)-10(8) CFU/ml) was investigated, with subsequent sonication and quantification by agar plate count method. The results indicated that all the tested bacteria expressed a strong ability for the polymer surface adhesion, reaching 4.6 to 6.7 log CFU/cm(2) after 30 minutes. Moreover, for the majority of strains, the level of 24-hour biofilm production was from 6.67-7.61 log CFU/cm(2). This research indicates that the environmental strains circulating between the cosmetics and patients may pose a threat of biofilm formation on medical equipment surfaces, and presumably in the clinical surroundings as well.

“…As these additives could serve as nutrients for microorganisms, it is possible that such products may get contaminated and be vehicles for pathogen transfer (Gopalkrishna et al, 2010;Noor et al, 2015). They are therefore liable to microbial contaminations either in the course of their preparation, transportation and/or use by the consumers which may lead to their spoilage (Osungunna et al, 2010).…”

Skin moisturizing creams and lotions are external preparations that contain special additives that could serve as nutrients for microorganisms; it is possible that such products may get contaminated and serves as vehicles for pathogen transfer. Eight cosmetic products, consisting of 4 body creams and 4 lotions were randomly purchased from the local markets within Zaria and analyzed for their microbiological quality. Five out of the eight products examined were found to be contaminated with bacteria, which had counts ranging from 6.0 × 10 4 to 5.3 × 10 5 cfu/g. Three of the products showed evidence of fungal contamination, with counts ranging between 1.3 × 10 4 and 2.8 × 10 8 propagules/g. However, three of the products were free from both bacterial and fungal contaminants. Organisms isolated from the creams include Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus sp., Micrococcus sp., Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Aspergillus spp., Mucorand Penicillium spp. The organisms showed a high level of antibiotic resistance. However, erythromycin had the highest activity against the Grampositive isolates while gentamycin had the highest activity against the Gram-negative isolates. There was significant correlation between microbial contamination and package orifice diameter, with highest bacterial and fungal count observed in products with wider orifices. Based on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and U.S. Pharmacopeial Convention (USP) standard of 10 3 cfu g −1 for cosmetic products, it was evident that five products had counts above this level; thereby representing serious health hazard. As a result, manufacturers should adhere to good manufacturing practices.
