The Role of the Skin Microbiota in the Modulation of Cutaneous Inflammation‐ Lessons from the Gut

Abstract

Inflammation is a vital defence mechanism used to protect the body from invading pathogens, but dysregulation can lead to chronic inflammatory disorders such as psoriasis and atopic dermatitis. Differences in microbiota composition have been observed in patients with inflammatory skin conditions compared with healthy individuals, particularly within lesions. There is also increasing evidence accumulating to support the notion that the microbiome contributes to the onset or modulates the severity of inflammatory diseases. Despite the known protective effects of orally administered lactic acid bacteria against inflammation, few studies have investigated the potential protective effects of topical application of bacteria on skin health and even fewer have looked at the potential anti-inflammatory effects of skin commensals. If lack of diversity and reduction in the abundance of specific commensal strains is observed in inflammatory skin lesions, and it is known that commensal bacteri a can produce anti-inflammatory compounds, we suggest that certain members of the skin microbiota have anti-inflammatory properties that can be harnessed for use as topical therapeutics in inflammatory skin disorders.
