Biography and Research Information
OverviewAI-generated summary
Seong‐Jae Kim's research focuses on the microbiology of tattoo and permanent makeup inks, as well as associated infections. He has investigated the microbiological survey of permanent makeup inks available in the United States and examined recalls of these products. Kim has also studied the detection of aerobic and anaerobic bacteria from commercial inks and explored the causes, patterns, and epidemiology of tattoo-associated infections since 1820. His work includes identifying phylogenetically diverse bacteria from azo dye-rich environments like tattoo inks that can decolorize a range of azo dyes. Additionally, he has explored the directional and strain-specific interactions between bacteria such as *Lactobacillus plantarum* and *Staphylococcus aureus*. Kim has also investigated the effect of plum extracts and antioxidants on the reduction of ethyl carbamate in plum liqueur.
