Comparative Analysis of the Cutaneous Microbiome in Psoriasis Patients and Healthy Individuals: Insights into Microbial Dysbiosis

The study investigates the cutaneous microbiome in psoriasis patients compared to healthy individuals, highlighting the role of microbial dysbiosis in psoriasis. The research involved collecting samples through swab sampling, adhesive tape, and punch biopsies. Findings indicate qualitative and quantitative differences in the microbiome of psoriasis patients, aligning with previous studies. The study suggests that dysbiosis may contribute to acute flare-ups in psoriasis. However, larger and standardized studies are necessary to further understand microbiome changes, their role in psoriasis pathogenesis, interactions between microorganisms, and potential therapeutic strategies.
