Is it true that Brevibacterium linens, the bacterium used to ripen Limburger cheese, is also found on human skin and contributes to foot and body odor?

Yes. Two reference sources state that Brevibacterium linens, the bacterium that ripens Limburger and similar smear-ripened cheeses, is also found on human skin and is partially responsible for body odor, particularly foot odor. A third source links Limburger's ripening bacterium to a skin bacterium but names Brevibacterium epidermidis rather than B. linens.
