A vast diversity of microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, viruses, and arthropods, colonize the human skin. Culture-independent genomic approaches for identifying and characterizing microbial communities have provided glimpses into the topographical, temporal, and interpersonal complexity that defines the skin microbiome. Identification of changes associated with cutaneous disease, including acne, atopic dermatitis, rosacea, and psoriasis, are being established. In this review, our current knowledge of the skin microbiome in health and disease is discussed, with particular attention to potential opportunities to leverage the skin microbiome as a diagnostic, prognostic, and/or therapeutic tool.
包括细菌、真菌、病毒和节肢动物在内的各种各样的微生物寄居于人体皮肤。用于识别和表征微生物群落的非培养基因组方法,已让我们得以一窥定义皮肤微生物群的地形、时间和人际复杂性。与包括痤疮、特应性皮炎、酒渣鼻和银屑病在内的皮肤病相关的变化正在被确定。在本综述中,我们讨论了目前关于健康和疾病状态下皮肤微生物群的知识,尤其关注利用皮肤微生物群作为诊断、预后和/或治疗工具的潜在机会。
