Human skin has a rich and environmentally diverse bacteria too, that showed the work of U.S. researchers hope their findings will allow the development of new approaches to address the problems of the skin.
The health of the skin and is the first line of defense against infections and injuries depends on a delicate balance between cells that make up the millions of bacteria and other germs that live on the surface of what the researchers who published their work in the journal "Science" the U.S. Friday.
Examined the U.S. National Institutes for Health total bacterial genomes to the human skin through the dismantling of the nuclear DNA of the small objects found by the diverse Mkchwin not recognized it.
Stressed Julia Segre of the National Institute for Research on Human Genome, "laid the foundations of our key researchers who are trying to develop new strategies or at least better to deal with skin diseases and their prevention."
She added: "We hope that this will lead to accelerating the progress of efforts to understand the complexities of genetic and environmental factors responsible for diseases such as eczema and psoriasis and acne resistant microbes to antibiotics and a lot of diseases that affect the skin."
In order to perform their work, researchers take skin samples from twenty different places of the body than a dozen volunteers in good health.
The Tanya Turner from the National Cancer Institute, who participated in the search "We chose places of the skin ready to have some skin problems and suspected that the bacteria play an active role in it."
