Makeup testers as reservoirs and transmission sources of antibiotic resistant bacteria
Background
Recently, the cosmetic market has been attracting growing attention. However, studies on the bacterial safety of these products are still very rare. In this preliminary study, we aimed to detect the presence of antibiotic-resistant staphylococci isolates from makeup testers beauty retailers in the city of Batna, Algeria.
Methods
In May 2019, a total of 325 samples were collected by swabbing the surface of different types of makeup testers including mascara, lipstick, eye shadow, face powder and blusher in different beauty retailers. The samples were immediately subjected to non-selective culture, followed by selective isolation. Representative colonies were identified using matrix-assisted laser desorption ionisation time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS). Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was carried out by agar disk diffusion method.
Results
Nineteen isolates were obtained from the different types of makeup testers and were identified as: Bacillus mojavensis (n = 1), Staphylococcus haemolyticus (n = 4), Bacillus subtilis (n = 3), Bacillus cereus (n = 3), Bacillus pumilus (n = 1), Bacillus sp. (n = 1), Bacillus amyloliquefaciens (n = 1), Staphylococcus warneri (n = 1) and four unidentified species (n = 4). Antimicrobial susceptibility test results revealed that Staphylococcus haemolyticus presented the highest antibiotic resistance level.
Conclusions
These results showed that makeup testers may act as reservoir and pathway of antibiotic-resistant Gram-positive bacteria transmission. Hence, to reduce health risks and enhance public safety awareness, it is crucial to implement effective control measures and preventive strategies.
期刊介绍:
The journal aims to be a platform for the publication and dissemination of knowledge in the area of infection and disease causing infection in humans. The journal is quarterly and publishes research, reviews, concise communications, commentary and other articles concerned with infection and disease affecting the health of an individual, organisation or population. The original and important articles in the journal investigate, report or discuss infection prevention and control; clinical, social, epidemiological or public health aspects of infectious disease; policy and planning for the control of infections; zoonoses; and vaccination related to disease in human health. Infection, Disease & Health provides a platform for the publication and dissemination of original knowledge at the nexus of the areas infection, Disease and health in a One Health context. One Health recognizes that the health of people is connected to the health of animals and the environment. One Health encourages and advances the collaborative efforts of multiple disciplines-working locally, nationally, and globally-to achieve the best health for people, animals, and our environment. This approach is fundamental because 6 out of every 10 infectious diseases in humans are zoonotic, or spread from animals. We would be expected to report or discuss infection prevention and control; clinical, social, epidemiological or public health aspects of infectious disease; policy and planning for the control of infections; zoonosis; and vaccination related to disease in human health. The Journal seeks to bring together knowledge from all specialties involved in infection research and clinical practice, and present the best work in this ever-changing field. The audience of the journal includes researchers, clinicians, health workers and public policy professionals concerned with infection, disease and health.
