Skin microbiome and dermatologic disorders

Abstract

Human skin acts as a physical barrier to prevent the entry of pathogenic microbes while simultaneously providing a home for commensal bacteria and fungi. Microbiome sequencing studies have demonstrated the unappreciated diversity and selectivity of these microbes. Functional studies have demonstrated the impact of specific strains to tune the immune system, sculpt the microbial community, provide colonization resistance, and promote epidermal barrier integrity. Recent studies have integrated the microbiome, immunity, and tissue integrity to understand their interplay in common disorders such as atopic dermatitis. In this Review, we explore microbiome shifts associated with cutaneous disorders with an eye toward how the microbiome can be mined to identify new therapeutic opportunities.

Usage information is collected from two different sources: this site (JCI) and Pubmed Central (PMC). JCI information (compiled daily) shows human readership based on methods we employ to screen out robotic usage. PMC information (aggregated monthly) is also similarly screened of robotic usage.

Various methods are used to distinguish robotic usage. For example, Google automatically scans articles to add to its search index and identifies itself as robotic; other services might not clearly identify themselves as robotic, or they are new or unknown as robotic. Because this activity can be misinterpreted as human readership, data may be re-processed periodically to reflect an improved understanding of robotic activity. Because of these factors, readers should consider usage information illustrative but subject to change.
