TLDR Research on the human skin microbiome has grown, focusing on skin health and diseases, with more studies needed on antibiotic resistance and AI applications.
The document "Emerging Trends and Focus in Human Skin Microbiome Over the Last Decade: A Bibliometric Analysis and Literature Review" is a comprehensive review of research trends in human skin microbiome from 2013 to 2023. The study analyzed 1629 articles and identified the United States and the University of California, San Diego as the leading contributors. The top research areas include epidemiology, preventive medicine, epidermal barrier, microecology, and dermatological diseases. The document also highlights future research areas such as the gut-skin axis, skin aging, and prebiotics therapy. The skin microbiome, including bacteria like Staphylococcus aureus, plays a crucial role in maintaining skin health and has been associated with conditions like acne and psoriasis. The document concludes that while significant progress has been made, further research is needed, particularly in areas like antibiotic resistance, anti-aging, and the application of artificial intelligence in skin microbiome studies.
