This article suggests that scalp erythrasma caused by Corynebacterium minutissimum may be underdiagnosed and that oral antibiotics used for other conditions could reduce its risk.

This review discusses various sampling methods for studying Propionibacterium acnes in skin follicles and reports no new experimental results; the authors evaluate these methods' strengths and limitations.

This study introduced a bioengineered model that simulates acne's microenvironment in mice, enabling the exploration of host and P. acnes interactions and presenting a novel platform for anti-acne drug and vaccine screening.

The document concludes that better understanding the wound microbiome can improve chronic wound care by preserving helpful bacteria and targeting harmful ones.

This research review identified improved outcomes in acne treatment when oral probiotics or topical probiotic-derived formulations were added to standard therapies, with probiotics reducing acne severity and enhancing safety and tolerability compared to treatments such as 2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide and Doxycycline.

This review discusses the composition and role of the hair follicle microbiome in health and disease, highlighting that our understanding remains limited and stressing the need for more comprehensive studies.

This study found that the skin microbiome in patients with hidradenitis suppurativa differs significantly from healthy controls, suggesting a potential link between microbial imbalance and the disease.

In this study, dogs with bacterial dermatitis showed significant improvement in symptoms within 72 hours when treated with Cephalexin, Ciprofloxacin, or Erythromycin, with Cephalexin showing the highest effectiveness.

This study found that citrullinated proteins, which are implicated in rheumatoid arthritis, were abundant in outer membrane vesicles from Porphyromonas gingivalis but nearly absent in mutants, validating their approach to citrullinated peptide identification.

This study reviewed the role of probiotics in dermatological disorders and suggests they may help treat or prevent inflammatory skin conditions by modulating the microbiota, potentially reducing the need for steroids and antibiotics, though further research is needed to confirm efficacy and safety.

This study observed Malassezia hyphae in the keratotic plugs of healthy individuals, which contrasts with previous findings of these hyphae primarily in lesions of pityriasis versicolor patients.

This review discusses the clinical manifestations and immune response to Rhodococcus equi infection in foals but reports no new clinical results.

Certain gut bacteria may protect against hair loss, while others may increase the risk.

This review assessed dermo-cosmetic treatments using prebiotics, probiotics, synbiotics, and other biotics for acne and scalp disorders, finding potential benefits, especially with multi-strain or synbiotic formulations, although challenges like formulation stability and the need for larger trials persist.

Many skin products get contaminated with bacteria, especially if they're in jars or previously opened.

This study reports that both aqueous and methanolic extracts of Tridax procumbens flowers demonstrated antibacterial activity against selected bacteria, indicating potential as antibacterial agents.

This study found that probiotics, specifically the L. plantarum MTCC 1325 strain, may have protective effects against Alzheimer's-like symptoms induced by D-Galactose in animal models, suggesting potential therapeutic use for neurodegenerative disorders.

This study found that sodium butyrate, a metabolite from the HF microbiome, significantly delayed catagen onset and promoted key physiological processes in cultured human hair follicles.

This study reports that a specific transporter protein in Staphylococcus hominis is responsible for transporting a malodour precursor, thereby playing a key role in human body odor production.

This review highlights how disruptions in the host microbiome can worsen inflammation and infection-related pathology, while it remains unclear exactly how the microbiome helps resolve such inflammation, potentially impacting future treatments for infection-induced inflammatory diseases.

In this case study, a 55-year-old male farmer from Nepal with a kerion barbae in the beard region showed complete resolution after initiating oral itraconazole, highlighting the potential for misdiagnosis when bacterial superinfection complicates dermatophyte infections.

This article discusses the inflammation process in dissecting cellulitis and folliculitis keloidalis, noting the role of follicular rupture and hair fragments while reporting no new results; the authors highlight differences in bacterial presence and pathogenesis understanding.

In this study, complete recovery from folliculitis dissecans was observed after intradermal botulinum toxin A injections, with the effect attributed to the host response rather than direct bacterial action.

This study found that Demodex mites may transport Microsporum canis spores on human skin, suggesting a potential role in microbial movement despite typically being considered harmless.

This study found that Malassezia restricta was more prevalent in patients with Malassezia folliculitis, suggesting a potential relationship between this species and the condition.

This study found that hair cosmetics have strong bacteriostatic properties, suggesting that current microbial test methods for these products should be revised.

In this true experimental study, researchers assessed the antibacterial effect of white jasmine leaf extract against Propionibacterium acnes and found varying inhibition zone diameters, with 500 µg/mL achieving up to 10.95 mm, though less effective than clindamycin, which reached 28.55 mm.

This study found that dandruff-afflicted individuals had a less integrated microbial network on the scalp and hair surface compared to healthy individuals, with more positive interactions and unstable connections.

This study found that Aloe vera and Citrus lemon extracts demonstrated notable antibacterial effects against Propionibacterium acnes in both lab and human skin models, with combined use resulting in a 67% reduction in acne, suggesting potential for future therapeutic applications.
