The present invention chiefly aims to provide a novel composition for controlling indigenous bacterial flora in the skin which can enhance or improve the diversity of bacterial species in the indigenous bacterial flora in the skin relative to the condition before treatment. The present invention can include, for example, a composition (e.g., an ointment, a liquid) for controlling the diversity of bacterial species in indigenous bacterial flora in the skin, comprising an effective amount of earthworm lipids extracted from a raw earthworm (), and a base. The composition of the present invention is useful, for example, as a raw material for skin care products and cosmetics.

Composition for controlling indigenous bacterial flora in the skin

A testing method using a micro flow path device configured for a test liquid containing a specimen to be brought into contact with a drug therein and for a test on an action of the drug on the specimen includes: preparing the micro flow path device including: a plurality of micro flow paths, first and second openings which are disposed at both ends of each of the plurality of micro flow paths and communicate with an outside, a storage unit which is provided in each of the plurality of micro flow paths and stores the drug, and a gas-permeable membrane covering the first opening; applying a fluid pressure higher than an external pressure to the test liquid through the second opening from a syringe pump connected to the second opening to pressure-feed the test liquid to the storage unit; and observing a target region set in the micro flow path.
