Abstract
Sampling the microflora of human skin by means of a generator of ultrasonic impulses was compared with the standard washing method in which the skin surface is rubbed manually. The ultrasonic method, at a power setting of 50 W or more, gave essentially similar results to those obtained by the standard method but removed fewer corneocytes.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
