Comparison of three amplicon sequencing approaches to determine staphylococcal populations on human skin

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Staphylococci are important members of the human skin microbiome. Many staphylococcal species and strains are commensals of the healthy skin microbiota, while few play essential roles in skin diseases such as atopic dermatitis. To study the involvement of staphylococci in health and disease, it is essential to determine staphylococcal populations in skin samples beyond the genus and species level....
