Comprehensive skin microbiome analysis reveals the uniqueness of human-associated microbial communities among the class Mammalia

2017-10-11

Abstract excerpt

Skin is the largest organ of the body and represents the primary physical barrier between mammals and their external environment. The objective of this research was to generate a skin microbiota baseline for members of the class Mammalia, testing the effects of host species, geographic location, body region, and biological sex. The back, torso, and inner thigh regions of 177 non-human mammals were collected to inc...
