Prevalence of Cutaneous Bacterial Colonization in Thai Patients with Psoriasis.

CONCLUSION: Similar to findings from Caucasian psoriasis patients, Firmicutes spp. was found to be the most common phyla colonizing the skin of Asian psoriasis patients. Streptococcus spp. was found to colonize only the skin. Further studies are needed to determine the clinical significance of streptococcal skin colonization in psoriasis patients.
