De Pessemier B, Grine L, Debaere M, Maes A, Paetzold B, Callewaert C. Gut-skin axis: current knowledge of the interrelationship between microbial dysbiosis and skin conditions. Microorganisms. 2021;9(2):353. doi:10.3390/microorganisms9020353
Key Takeaway: A “gut-skin axis” study reviewed in a recent issue of the journal Microorganisms found that the skin of rosacea patients regularly contains an overgrowth of commensal skin microorganisms. Researchers proposed bacteria as the causative source for inflammatory responses in rosacea, and the role of Bacillus oleronius and Staphylococcus epidermidis was investigated. The results were achieved by studying how the skin microbiome was changed in patients with and without rosacea taking antibiotics.
News You Can Use: You can share research on the emergence of the gut-skin axis with patients and colleagues and stress the importance of treatment options for rosacea that preserve microbiome balance and promote homeostasis.
