Microbiome dynamics of human epidermis following skin barrier disruption
15 Nov 2012
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Recent advances in sequencing technologies have enabled metagenomic analyses of many human body sites. Several studies have catalogued the composition of bacterial communities of the surface of human skin, mostly under static conditions in healthy volunteers. Skin injury will disturb the cutaneous homeostasis of the host tissue and its commensal microbiota, but the dynamics of this process have not...
