Abstract EN
The Italian interest group (IG) on atopic eczema and urticaria is member of the Italian Society of Allergology and Immunology.
The aim of our IG is to provide a platform for scientists, clinicians, and experts.
In this review we discuss the role of skin microbiota not only in healthy skin but also in skin suffering from atopic dermatitis (AD).
A Medline and Embase search was conducted for studies evaluating the role of skin microbiota.
We examine microbiota composition and its development within days after birth; we describe the role of specific groups of microorganisms that colonize distinct anatomical niches and the biology and clinical relevance of antimicrobial peptides expressed in the skin.
Specific AD disease states are characterized by concurrent and anticorrelated shifts in microbial diversity and proportion of Staphylococcus.
These organisms may protect the host, defining them not as simple symbiotic microbes but rather as mutualistic microbes.
These findings reveal links between microbial communities and inflammatory diseases such as AD and provide novel insights into global shifts of bacteria relevant to disease progression and treatment.
This review also highlights recent observations on the importance of innate immune systems and the relationship with normal skin microflora for the maintenance of healthy skin.
