From: Controlling skin microbiome as a new bacteriotherapy for inflammatory skin diseases
Transplantation of skin microbial community. One therapeutic strategy using live bacteria for skin diseases is transplantation of the whole skin microbial community from healthy donors to diseased skin associated with dysbiosis, such as patients with malodor. Pre-colonized disease-causing skin microbiota are removed by antibacterial agents such as antibiotics. Subsequently, the microbial community collected from the skin of non-odorous donors is transplanted to the patient’s skin to occupy space and provide nutrition, preventing other bacteria from colonizing the skin niche and producing disease-causing substances
