The
microbiology of human health and disease has moved forwards significantly in
the past decade, with the Human Microbiome Project findings being pivotal. Such
is the depth and complexity of the findings that the results continue to be
examined. In relation to human skin, the variation in microbial types and how
they relate to different ‘ecological niches’ is both fascinating and important
for understanding health and disease; the treatment of those diseases; and with
human contamination risks. The research is thus important to both clinical and
pharmaceutical microbiology.
In
a new paper, Tim Sandle outlines one of the most
important contributions made by the Human Microbiome Project in relation to
understanding health and disease relating to skin.
