Microbial skin therapeutics: Skin MicrobiomeRecent Research Landscape

Pathogenic bacterial overgrowth and barrier dysfunction require selective microbial modulation to treat inflammatory conditions like acne and dermatitis.

What technical problems is Skin Microbiome addressing in Microbial skin therapeutics?

Pathogenic biofilm formation

(40)evidences

Pathogenic bacterial overgrowth and biofilm formation disrupt the skin barrier, leading to chronic inflammatory conditions like acne and dermatitis.

Epidermal barrier enzymatic dysfunction

(27)evidences

Uncontrolled growth of pathogenic bacteria like Staphylococcus aureus disrupts the skin microbiome and exacerbates inflammatory conditions like atopic dermatitis.
