| Abstract |
|
Skin microorganisms have adapted to utilize the sparse nutrients available on the skinMany cutaneous microorganisms can produce molecules that inhibit the colonization of other microorganisms or alter their behaviourThe skin microbiota of a healthy adult remains stable over time, despite environmental perturbationsShotgun metagenomics provides greater resolution than traditional amplicon sequencing, enabling surveys of the skin microbiota at the kingdom, species, strain or gene levelSkin microorganisms have important roles in educating the innate and adaptive arms of the cutaneous immune systemSome skin diseases are associated with an altered microbial state; reversion of this dysbiosis may help prevent and/or treat the disease
