The cutaneous microbiome has potential for therapeutic intervention in inflammatory-driven
skin disease. Research into atopic dermatitis and acne vulgaris has highlighted the
importance of the skin microbiota in disease pathogenesis, prognostication, and targets for
therapeutic intervention. Current management of these conditions aims to control the
inflammatory response thought to be associated with specific pathogens using both topical
and systemic antimicrobials. However, commensal microbiota found naturally on the skin …
