The human armpit has a lot to offer bacteria. It's moist, it's warm, and it's usually dark. But when the bacteria show up, they can make a stink. That's because when some kinds of bacteria encounter sweat they produce smelly compounds, transforming the armpit from a neutral oasis to the mothership of body odor. And one group of bacteria is to blame for the stink, researchers say.
Bacteria from the propionibacteria family (and others) naturally reside on the surface of our armpits. The propionibacteria in particular are responsible for the musky b.O. smell. Interesting trivia: bacteria from the same family are used to create the holes in swiss cheese during the fermentation process.
