ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the distribution and changes of microorganisms on the skin of submariners under a chronically closed environment , and provide reference for targeted medical support .Methods One hundred and twenty-two samples were collected using swab.After culture and isolation, the microbes were identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrometry ( MALDI-TOF-MS) .Results A total of 52 types of 229 bacteria and 2 types of fungi were isolated . Major opportunistic pathogens included Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Enterobacter cloacae, while major dwelling bacteria included Micrococcus luteus, Oslo Mora bacteria, Acinetobacter, Staphylococcus epidermidis, and Serratia marcescens.Compared with the early period of the task, major opportunistic pathogens and dwelling bacteria were significantly increased in the middle and late period of the task .Conclusion The skin microbes of the submariners are investigated , targeted drugs need to be prepared for daily medical support and war trauma .
