Host traits, lifestyle and environment are associated with the human skin bacteria

DISCUSSION: We expand the current understanding of factors associated with the skin bacterial community. We show the association of diet with the skin bacteria. Finally, we hypothesize that the skin microenvironment and the host physiology would shape the skin bacterial community at greater extent in comparison to a single skin physiological feature, lifestyle and environmental exposition.PMID:33733457 | DOI:10.1111/bjd.20072
