对 229 名受试者的腋窝微生物群进行了定量表征，结果与气味是刺激性体臭还是微弱的酸味相关。发现腋窝菌群是微球菌科、需氧白喉类菌和丙酸杆菌的稳定混合物。具有刺激性腋窝气味的人的腋窝中回收的细菌数量明显多于具有酸味的人。在所有具有典型体味的受试者中均发现大量需氧白喉类病毒。这些包括亲脂性和大菌落白喉类病毒。当放置在前臂上的顶泌汗滴与腋窝中的各种细菌接种时，只有白喉类细菌会产生典型的体味。球菌因异戊酸而产生汗味。
The axillary microflora of 229 subjects was characterized quantitatively and the results correlated with whether the odor was pungent body odor or a faint acid odor. The axillary flora was found to be a stable mixture of Micrococcaceae, aerobic diphtheroids and Propionibacteria. Significantly higher numbers of bacteria were recovered from the axillae of those with pungent axillary odor than in those with acid odor. Aerobic diphtheroids in high numbers were recovered in all subjects having typical body odor. These included lipophilic as well as large-colony diphtheroids. When droplets of apocrine sweat placed on the forearm were inoculated with various bacteria which reside in the axilla, only diphtheroids generated typical body odor. Cocci produced a sweaty odor attributable to isovaleric acid.
