The bacterial contamination of lipsticks and face cream may become a great important matter in the medical laboratories. The present study was designed to determine the types of bacterial contamination in the face cream and lipsticks of undergraduate students. Also, the study aimed to determine the sensitivity of the isolated bacteria against many antibacterial agents. The study included 190 swabs samples from 190 face cream and lipsticks samples of the females’ students from five departments in the Medical Technology Institute, Almansour, Middle Technical University were collected in February 2018. The swab samples were collected with sterile condition and cultured on enriched Blood agar and MacConkey agar. Serial dilutions were made up to 10−6 to enumerate the suspected present bacteria in the samples. The identification of isolated bacteria was confirmed by using culture media, Gram stain and biochemical tests. The sensitivity test of the isolated bacteria to different antibiotics was examined according to Bauer - Kirby disc diffusion method. 100 (52.63%) samples were positive; 100 isolates of bacteria were isolated from makeup. Also, the percentage of bacterial isolates isolated from the face cream samples were more than the lipsticks (85% vs. 15%, respectively). The most frequent bacterial isolates were Staphylococcus aureus (66.66% from lipstick swabs and 47.05% from the face cream) followed by Staphylococcus epidermidis (13.33 from the lipstick and 23.52% from the face cream). Also, Escherichia coli was isolated and the percentage of E. coli was 13.33% and 11.76%, for the lipstick and the face cream, respectively. Pseudomonas aeruginosa showed a high resistance to the antibiotics. Whereas, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Escherichia coli, Streptococcus pyogenes, Bacillus subtilis, Micrococcus spp. and Proteus mirabilis were susceptible to Cephalothin and Ciprofloxacin, while it resistant to Amikacin, Cefazolin and Cefotaxime. The bacterial counts in the makeup were higher than the bacterial limits standards. The lipstick and face cream were relatively contaminated with Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria more than the standard limit, these contaminated accessories lead to distribute the pathogenic bacteria among the students causing several diseases.
The study aimed to reveal the level to which the international issues are integrated into the books of Saudi public education social studies and citizenship in the light of the principles of international education, and to know the level of continuity and integration of these issues in the books, to build a range and sequence matrix of international issues through it. The study followed the descriptive and analytical method that used the content analysis card as a tool for study when the tool achieved the necessary validity and reliability characteristics. The data of this study has been processed using the SPSS statistical program according to a set of appropriate methods of descriptive and inferential statistics.
