Abstract

Human skin microflora is an important barrier for many harmful invading microorganisms. However, innate and foreign factors including metal exposure and overuse of antibiotics may attune this microflora. Disruption of microflora in turn leads to several skin diseases and other health problems. The current study aimed to isolate antibiotic-resistant microorganisms and explore new methods for treating these microorganisms of skin flora. For this purpose, 100 skin samples were collected from urban and rural agricultural residents of Multan. Bacterial isolates were biochemically characterized. Isolated microflora included S. aureus 24.5%, S.epidermidis (28%), C.xerosis (8.5%), Klebsiella (9%), C. Kutscheri (5%), P.aurigenosa (19.6%), and E.coli (5.5%).
