Smell...the smell...where is it coming from

Q&A › Smell…the smell…where is it coming from

I said it was stinky winky asked 5 years ago

i can’t smell my strong body odor most of the time but sometimes I do smell it and I think it’s sulfurous if I’m not mistaken. Which bacteria produce that smell? Is it corynebacterium? And once the smell did burn my nose

The sulfurous smell usually comes from Staphylococcus hominis. In this case it is not coming from Corynebacterium. These lasts ones create a more sour, mustly, sometimes fecal-like malodor.
