The paper investigates antimicrobial activity in the skin microbiome, identifies novel defensive species, and highlights dry skin sites as rich sources of bioactive metabolites.

This paper establishes an ex vivo porcine skin model to study antiseptic effects on microbial communities and lipids, finding chlorhexidine gluconate reduces culturable microbes but increases Gram-negative taxa.

This study shows that chlorhexidine gluconate reduces viable skin microbial bioburden but does not achieve complete sterility, and temporarily increases pathogen abundance before microbiome recovery.

This study compares nasal and oral microbiomes of infants and adults, finding age-related differences in diversity, composition, and functional capabilities.

The paper examines oral microbiota differences between individuals carrying multidrug-resistant gram-negative bacilli and non-carriers, finding reduced inhibition of pathogens and altered resistome profiles.

This study characterizes the porcine skin microbiome, identifies antifungal bacterial isolates, and discovers novel fungal and bacterial species with potential for antifungal applications.

The paper introduces lsaBGC, a bioinformatics tool for analyzing BGCs in skin microbiomes, revealing evolutionary patterns and novel SNVs in key species.
