Skin Microbiome: Looking Back to Move Forward
نویسندگان
چکیده
Trillions of bacteria, fungi, viruses, archaea, and small arthropods colonize the skin surface, collectively comprising the skin microbiome. Generations of researchers have classified these microbes as transient versus resident, beneficial versus pathogenic, and collaborators versus adversaries. Culturing and direct sequencing of microbial inhabitants identified distinct populations present at skin surface sites. Herein, we explore the history of this field, describe findings from the current molecular sequencing era, and consider the future of investigating how microbes and antimicrobial therapy contribute to human health.

Assessing the Iranian Fiscal Sustainability in Past and Future through Tax Side of the Economy
This paper, I have focused on the tax side of the fiscal policy to investigate the past and future behavior of fiscal sustainability in Iran. To do so, I have employed two different forward-looking and backward-looking approaches. First, the backward-looking approach is the fiscal policy rule proposed by Daving & Leeper (2011). Precisely, this rule determines that whether the fiscal policy is ...
متن کاملThe intersection of microbiome and host at the skin interface: genomic- and metagenomic-based insights.
The past two decades have been marked by a surge in research to understand the microbial communities that live in association with the human body, in part stimulated by affordable, high-throughput DNA sequencing technology. In the context of the skin, this Perspective focuses on the current state of genomic- and metagenomic-based host-microbe research and future challenges and opportunities to ...
متن کاملChanges in the Human Skin Microbiome over One Year’s Time
Human skin comprises a large number of distinguishable ecological niches. To describe fully the human skin microbiome, it will be necessary to identify the bacteria in each niche and to distinguish the commensal bacteria from the temporary residents. To contribute to the description of the human skin microbiome and employing a gene-based technology, we have identified the bacteria in two niches...
