ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Skin microbiota are involved in the skin physiological functions and are also affected by the skin physiological characteristics.OBJECTIVE:
To better understand the skin microbial characteristics of facial cheek skin and the relationship with skin physiological characteristics.METHODS:
By bacterial 16S rRNA gene sequencing, the authors studied the facial cheek skin microbial characteristics of 85 cases of young women aged 18-25 years.RESULTS:
Healthy young woman's cheek skin bacterial composition was relatively stable. Dry skin has high bacterial diversity and richness, and oily skin has low bacterial diversity and richness. Cutibacterium was significantly enriched in oily skin and was significantly negatively correlated with other genera such as Streptococcus (r > 0.5). There were significant positive correlations among other genera of enrichment in dry and neutral skin such as Streptococcus and Rothia (r > 0.8). Skin sebum level was significantly negatively correlated with bacterial alpha diversity index. The combined abundance of Cutibacterium acnes and Staphylococcus epidermidis was significantly positively correlated with sebum secretion (r > 0.5).CONCLUSIONS:
The skin sebum secretion and bacterial interaction were the important factors driving the young females' cheek skin bacterial community structure.Palabras clave
