Abstract

The skin is a habitat for commensal and pathogenic microbiota. The detection of the presence and relative abundance of bacteria and fungi, as well as disease-specific shifts in their composition is of immense interest in skin biology. Currently, deep sequencing methods are the gold standard to assess the bacterial microbiome. However, there are alternative methods available. We used the recently described method of determining bacterial communities by two-parameter flow cytometry analysis of scatter and DNA content.
