Many liches take precautions to hide and/or safeguard one or ...
The superficial layers of the skin are naturally acidic (pH 4–4.5) due to lactic acid in sweat and produced by skin bacteria. [31] At this pH mutualistic flora such as Staphylococci , Micrococci , Corynebacterium and Propionibacteria grow but not transient bacteria such as Gram-negative bacteria like Escherichia and Pseudomonas or Gram ...
Mycobacterium leprae (also known as the leprosy bacillus or Hansen's bacillus) is one [a] of the two species of bacteria that cause Hansen's disease (leprosy), [1] a chronic but curable infectious disease that damages the peripheral nerves and targets the skin, eyes, nose, and muscles.
They are virtually ubiquitous and do not cause problems for most people, but propionibacteria have been implicated in acne and other skin conditions. [4] One study found the Propionibacterium was the most prevalent human skin-associated genus of microorganisms. [5] In ruminants, propionibacteria reduce nitrate to nontoxic nitrogen compounds. [6]

The same bacterium is employed to ferment several washed-rind and smear-ripened cheeses, such as Munster , Limburger , Tilsit cheese , Port-Salut , Raclette , Livarot ...
