Evolution of the facial skin microbiome during puberty in normal and acne skin

Andrea M. Schneider et al.

Summary: The composition of the skin microbiome varies during puberty, with a distinct 'acne microbiome' emerging in those with acne. This study found a significant shift in microbial diversity between early and late stages of puberty, coinciding with increased sebum production on the face. The abundance of Cutibacterium acnes, a specific strain associated with acne, increased during puberty, and different strains of C. acnes were affected differently by pubertal stage and the presence of acne. A unique acne microbiome signature was identified in late puberty, characterized by specific C. acnes strain composition and metabolic activity.

Human skin microbiota in health and disease The cutaneous communities' interplay in equilibrium and dysbiosis

Lene Bay et al.

Summary: Cutaneous microbial composition is influenced by the skin microenvironment and various internal and external factors. Changes in the microbial profile can lead to imbalances, common in inflammatory skin diseases and chronic infections. Topical probiotic solutions may help prevent these alterations, acting as potential biomarkers for disease prediction and monitoring during therapy. New approaches like machine learning could aid in predicting microbial changes before the onset of chronic infections and flares.

Phytopigment Alizarin Inhibits Multispecies Biofilm Development by Cutibacterium acnes, Staphylococcus aureus, and Candida albicans

Jin-Hyung Lee et al.

Summary: Alizarin efficiently inhibits multispecies biofilm formation by acne-causing bacteria without inhibiting bacteria growth. It increases the hydrophilicities of bacterial cells, reduces enzyme production, and inhibits bacterial aggregation. Alizarin also enhances the antibiofilm efficacy when used in combination with antibiotics. Furthermore, it prevents biofilm development by acne-causing bacteria on animal skin.

Skin dysbiosis and Cutibacterium acnes biofilm in inflammatory acne lesions of adolescents

Ilaria Cavallo et al.

Summary: This study explores the microbiome at different skin sites in adolescent acne and the role of biofilm production in promoting the growth and persistence of Cutibacterium acnes isolates. The findings show that there is lower microbiota diversity in inflammatory lesions compared to non-inflammatory lesions and healthy subjects, and there is an overabundance of C. acnes in inflammatory lesions. Additionally, specific Cutibacterium acnes phylotypes were found to be more represented in the skin of acne patients and were associated with early adhesion, biomass production, and increased antibiotic tolerance.

Skin microbiome reconstruction and lipid metabolism profile alteration reveal the treatment mechanism of Cryptotanshinone in the acne rat

Zhaoming Zhu et al.

Summary: Cryptotanshinone (CPT) treatment of acne significantly inhibits specific bacteria, affects the composition of skin microbiota and lipid metabolism signatures, potentially providing a foundation for the discovery of biomarkers for skin microbiome imbalance and targeted treatment of acne.

Acne, Microbiome, and Probiotics: The Gut-Skin Axis

Pedro Sanchez-Pellicer et al.

Summary: This narrative review examines the influence of human microbiota on the pathogenesis of acne and the impact of probiotics treatment as an adjuvant or alternative therapy on the progression of acne vulgaris. Acne is a chronic inflammatory skin disease involving various factors such as genetics, metabolism, and hormones, with both skin and gut microbiota playing a role. Bidirectional communication between intestinal microbiota and skin homeostasis has been observed, mainly through immune system modification. Probiotics have shown potential beneficial effects in in vitro studies, but clinical trials with topical and oral probiotics are scarce.

The Microbiome in Comedonal Contents of Inflammatory Acne Vulgaris is Composed of an Overgrowth of Cutibacterium Spp. and Other Cutaneous Microorganisms

Narifumi Akaza et al.

Summary: This study investigated the microbiome of inflammatory acne and facial skin in acne patients. The results showed that Cutibacterium spp. and Staphylococcus spp. were the predominant bacteria in acne lesions and on the facial skin, respectively. Malassezia spp., especially Malassezia restricta, were the predominant fungi in both acne lesions and on the skin surface. The bacterial microbiome in acne lesions exhibited stronger metabolic activity.

Skin Microbiota in Non-inflammatory and Inflammatory Lesions of Acne Vulgaris: The Underlying Changes within the Pilosebaceous Unit

Xiaoxi Xu et al.

Summary: This study found that male participants, those with higher body mass index, and younger participants carried a higher proportion of Malassezia in their non-inflammatory lesions. The non-inflammatory group showed increased abundance of Malassezia restricta and Cutibacterium acnes, suggesting their involvement in the microecological balance within the pilosebaceous unit. Correlation analysis revealed similarities in proliferation trends of Staphylococcus epidermidis and M. restricta with C. acnes during the transformation from non-inflammatory to inflammatory lesions.
