AgreementNeither agree nor disagree

The discussions show mixed reactions, with some supporting the idea that the publication provides important insights into microbial communities, while others question its implications.

InterestNeutral interest

EngagementNeutral engagement

Overall, the posts demonstrate surface-level engagement, with some sharing quotes and asking questions, but few detailed analyses or discussions.

ImpactNeutral impact

Abstract in brief

  • Deodorants and antiperspirants significantly alter the bacterial community in the underarm area, with individual microbial profiles being unique to each person.
  • Consistent use of underarm cosmetics results in a stable bacterial community, while changing usage habits can cause notable shifts in the microbial population.
  • Applying deodorants and antiperspirants tends to increase bacterial diversity, especially with antiperspirants, which promote the growth of Actinobacteria linked to body odor production.
