A multi-strain human skin microbiome model provides a testbed for disease modeling by Angela L. Maloney, Tyler Crawford, Jordan Hurlbut, Monica Martinez, Thomas J. Mulhern, Elizabeth L. Wiellette, Else M. Vedula, Vidhya Vijayakumar

“…A remarkable feature of this model is the persistence of Cutibacterium acnes in an aerobic tissue culture environment, since C. acnes growth is typically demonstrated under anaerobic conditions, suggesting that the skin tissue model is conducive to more natural growth states of native skin strains. The addition of cytokines representative of atopic dermatitis elicited a marked decrease in tissue barrier by day 7 compared to healthy controls, irrespective of the microbiome presence. …”
