• The data is not sufficiently robust for good
characterisation; however, dysbiosis in atopic dermatitis
does not only implicate Staphylococcus species, but
also microbes such as Propionibacterium and
Malassezia.
• A causal role of dysbiosis in eczema in mice
encourages future studies to investigate if this applies in
humans too.
• Other important aspects are temporal dynamics and the
influence of methodology on microbiome data.
