Studies have emphasized the importance of disease-associated microorganisms in
perturbed communities, however, the protective roles of commensals are largely under …

Background The role of skin microbiota in acne remains to be fully elucidated. Initial culture‐
based investigations were hampered by growth rate and selective media bias. Even with …
