Description
This activity is part of a 13-course series designed to equip licensed practitioners from medical, nursing, and related disciplines with a multidisciplinary approach to managing patients through microbiome education.
3. Skin Microbiome and Dermatologic Conditions
The skin hosts one of the most diverse species of microbes in our body. Dysbiosis, or the alterations of microbial composition with overgrowth of pathogenic species over commensal species, has been implicated in a number of skin diseases including atopic dermatitis, psoriasis and acne vulgaris. This activity will discuss evidence on the association of skin dysbiosis on the pathogenesis of several skin conditions and will review emerging research on skin microbiome transplant and restoration as treatment modalities.
Educational Objectives
After completing this activity, participants will able to:
- Describe skin dysbiosis events associated with common inflammatory skin conditions, such as atopic dermatitis, acne vulgaris, and psoriasis
- Identify emerging clinical evidence on the role of skin microbiome transplant and restoration in treating the above skin conditions
