The Relationship Between Microbiome and Female Androgenetic Alopecia

This study investigates the relationship between the scalp microbiome and female androgenetic alopecia (FAGA) in a sample of 30 FAGA subjects and 30 non-FAGA subjects. The research found a significant correlation between the presence of certain aerobic and anaerobic bacteria and FAGA, with Staphylococcus being the most prevalent aerobic bacteria in both groups and Cutibacterium being the most prevalent anaerobic bacteria. The study highlights the potential role of the microbiome in the pathogenesis of FAGA, suggesting that both aerobic and anaerobic bacteria are associated with this condition.
