Interaction of skin cells with skin microbiota
The interaction between skin cells and skin microbiota is complicated and not fully understood. A diverse community of microbes resides on the skin that participates in shaping its physiology. Skin microbiota can modulate skin immunity and barrier, thus, contributing to skin health. Also, the …

The Structure and Function of Amphibian Skin Bacterial Communities and Their Role in Susceptibility to a Fungal Pathogen
… A primary factor in these declines is the skin disease chytridiomycosis, which is caused by the fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd). Recent research suggests that the amphibian skin microbiota has anti-Bd activity and may be an important factor in host disease resistance. However, …

Health, lifestyle and nature disconnect in high-rise apartment dwellers
… in maintaining immunological health. Human skin is continually exposed both to the environment and to cleaning and hygiene tasks that contribute to skin microbial composition. The study sought to answer a vital question: How do floor level and the lack of plants and soil in high rise …

SKIN COMMENSAL STAPHYLOCOCCUS PROMOTES SYSTEMIC V-GAMMA-6 GAMMA-DELTA T CELL RECONFIGURATION
The gut microbiota is known to regulate both local immune responses and systemic functions in healthy hosts. However, it remains unclear whether the skin microbiota – resident on the body's largest barrier – can influence systemic responses. Skin-resident Staphylococcus aureus is a common commensal …

The role of vector-derived microbiota and co-localization in the dissemination of vector transmitted pathogens
… from the initial site of infection in the skin to the internal organs following transmission by the bite of an infected sand fly vector. This study investigated the role of inoculation method and the vector, sand fly gut-derived microbiota in modulating the host immune response and …

THE APPLE SCAB DILEMMA: FROM STRATEGIES TO COPE WITH Venturia inaequalis DAMAGES TO THE RISK OF THE EMERGING PATHOGEN Venturia asperata ON RESISTANT APPLE CULTIVARS
… V. inaequalis causes black spots on the fruit skin, even in cold storage, making a portion of the harvest unsuitable for fresh consumption. The second objective of this thesis was to minimize these fruit losses (i.e., aesthetically imperfect apples). We aimed to achieve this by integrating …

Does the human skin microbiome adapt to antibiotic exposure?
… is a substantial element of the healthy human skin microflora and can become pathogenic to cause infections, for example, septicaemia and endocarditis. The effects of long-term sub-lethal exposure to antibiotics on the skin microbiota are unknown. How does antibiotic adaptation affect the …

Effect of treadmill exercise on cutaneous wound healing in obese mice
… Additionally, we measured non-wounded skin and wound site inflammation and growth factor expression through gene and protein expression analyses at baseline and at days 1, 3, and 5 post-wounding. Further parameters measured included exercise effects on adipose tissue inflammatory …

The bacteriome and metabolome of human breast milk and their association with infant growth
… of bacteria usually found in the oral or skin microbiota. Apart from study site (a proxy for ethnicity in this study), infant birth length and maternal age, no other associations were found between potential sociodemographic and psychosocial determinants and the composition of the human …

Mapping the microbiota in hidradenitis suppurativa
… suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease characterized by the formation of nodules, abscesses, and fistula at intertriginous sites. Pain, pruritus, malodour, and suppuration have a significant impact on quality of life for HS patients. The skin-gut axis is an area of emerging …

Detección y caracterización de péptidos con actividad antimicrobiana en aislados de Staphylococcus. Aplicación al ámbito agroalimentario y en salud pública
… as commensal microorganisms of the nasal and skin microbiota of animals and humans, although some species can be opportunistic pathogens, especially S. aureus. Currently, Staphylococcus is gaining attention as a bacteriocin-producing genus, especially coagulase-negative species. In this work, …
