Most of food poisoning is frequently raised from mass catering. Especially, staphylococci takes the large part of pathogenic agents which are related to the hygienic condition. Among total 98 samples, four staphylococci were isolated from food service environment such as drinking water (A), hands (D), refrigerator and apron (E) of 5 elementary school (A, B, C, D, E) in Gyeongnam Province. These isolated strains are characterized as 1 MRCNS (Methicilline Resistant Coagulase Negative Staphylococcus aureus) and 3 MSCPS (Methicilline Sensitive Coagulase positive Staphylococcus aureus). Also, production of enterotoxin B (sob gene) were examined by PCR which has known as a big problem because of their temperature resistance. Hence, PCR was performed on isolated 4 staphylococci. The all 4 isolated Staphylococcus aureus have 477 bp of seb gene. Antibiotics susceptibility test was completed on PCR detected strains. All strains were fully resistance to ampicillin and penicillin. The drinking water of A place has resistance to oxacilline, therefore this strain turned out to be MRSA (Methicilline Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus).

On the skin, the microbiome, which includes bacteria, viruses, and fungi, coexist with human cells. Microbiome cosmetics are being developed actively in the field of skin and cosmetics recently. The skin microbiome is very diverse, and although the composition ratio and habitat are different, it nourishes the skin or restricts the proliferation of pathogens, which are competitors, through interactions in various ways. However, if the balance is broken, it can contribute to the destruction of immune homeostasis and lead to the development of skin diseases. Accordingly, this paper can be used as important data for the skin microbiome market, which has great future growth potential, by understanding the role and research trends of the skin microbiome, which is a symbiotic relationship with our skin, and by examining industrial trends in biological materials that help the microbiome balance.
