Effects of a Skin Neuropeptide (Substance P) on Cutaneous Microflora
BACKGROUND Skin is the largest human neuroendocrine organ and hosts the second most numerous microbial population but the interaction of skin neuropeptides with the microflora has never been investigated. We studied the effect of Substance P (SP), a peptide released by nerve endings in the skin on bacterial virulence. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Bacillus cereus, a member of the skin transi...
متن کاملModified scrub technique for sampling infant skin microflora.
Two techniques for quantitatively recovering normal-flora microorganisms from the skin of infants were compared. A technique using a swab to dislodge microorganisms from the skin compared favorably to a technique using a rubber policeman. The swab was easier to use and is suitable for use on infant skin.
متن کاملMolecular analysis of malassezia microflora on the skin of the patients with atopic dermatitis.
BACKGROUND The yeasts of the genus Malassezia are members of the normal flora on human skin and they are found in 75~80% of healthy adults. Since its association with various skin disorders have been known, there have been a growing number of reports that have implicated Malassezia yeast in atopic dermatitis (AD). OBJECTIVE The aim of the present study is to isolate the various Malassezia spe...
متن کاملThe vulvar skin microenvironment: impact of tight-fitting underwear on microclimate, pH and microflora.
The aim of the present study was to investigate if tight-fitting underwear (string panties) equipped with string panty liners affected the vulvar skin microenvironment differently to regular panties with standard panty liners. Thirty-two healthy women participated in a crossover study where temperature, humidity, surface pH and aerobic microflora were measured on vulvar skin. Vulvar skin temper...
متن کاملmolecular characterization of cyclophilin protein gene in skin normal microflora: malassezia furfur
background: malassezia are dimorphic, lipid-dependent yeasts, which are responsible for causing several cutaneous and systemic conditions. although cyclophilins (cyps) are highly conserved cytosolic proteins that catalyze the peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerazation reaction before protein folding process, it has been suggestive of an allergen in a few numbers of fungi such as aspergillus fumig...
