The bacterial flora of the central area of the forehead of 48 adults was examined by a standardized swabbing procedure to determine the extent of individual variation. Propionibacteria were the most abundant organisms on most subjects. Their numbers per cm2 of skin ranged from fewer than 6 to 1,100,000. Seventeen subjects had more than 100,000, and 16 subjects yielded fewer than 10,000. Six had fewer than 1,000. Differences with respect to sex and age were not statistically significant. Coagulase-negative cocci numbered from 25 to 75,000 per cm2. There was no statistically significant correlation between numbers of propionibacteria and numbers of cocci.In order to distinguish trivial or transient individual differences from those of a more ...
