Bacterial DNA on the skin surface overrepresents the viable skin microbiome

2021-08-16

Abstract excerpt

The skin microbiome provides vital contributions to human health. However, the spatial organization and viability of its bacterial components remain unclear. Here we apply culturing, imaging, and molecular approaches to human and mouse skin samples, and find that the skin surface is colonized by fewer viable bacteria than predicted by bacterial DNA levels. Instead, viable skin-associated bacteria are predominantly...
