Erratum: Insights into the pan-microbiome: skin microbial communities of Chinese individuals differ from other racial groups
نویسندگان
چکیده
Relative abundances of Staphylococcus and Streptococcal species. (a) Relative abundance of Staphylococcus species plotted against each sample, ordered by increasing abundance. Each bar represents the abundance of genus as a percentage of the entire microbial community, with different colours within a bar representing one of the top nine individual species/strains, with remaining species/strains grouped as “Minor/Unclassified.” (b,c) Box-and-whisker plots (split by skin sites) of S. aureus expressed as a percentage of the entire microbial community across (b) age groups and (c) gender. (d) Relative abundance of Streptococcus species plotted against each sample, ordered by increasing abundance, similar to staphylococcal plot in Fig. 2a. (e,f) Box-and-whisker plots of relative abundances of minor but potentially pathogenic streptococcal species by skin site, expressed as a percentage of the entire microbial community. All classified staphylococcal and streptococcal species are listed in Supplementary Data 4.

Insights into the pan-microbiome: skin microbial communities of Chinese individuals differ from other racial groups
Many studies have characterized microbiomes of western individuals. However, studies involving non-westerners are scarce. This study characterizes the skin microbiomes of Chinese individuals. Skin-associated genera, including Propionibacterium, Corynebacterium, Staphylococcus, and Enhydrobacter were prevalent. Extensive inter-individual microbiome variations were detected, with core genera pres...
متن کاملSkin fungal community and its correlation with bacterial community of urban Chinese individuals
BACKGROUND High-throughput sequencing has led to increased insights into the human skin microbiome. Currently, the majority of skin microbiome investigations are limited to characterizing prokaryotic communities, and our understanding of the skin fungal community (mycobiome) is limited, more so for cohorts outside of the western hemisphere. Here, the skin mycobiome across healthy Chinese indivi...
متن کاملHuman Microbiome
Humans are almost identical in their genetic pattern, but the slight differences in our DNA lead to remarkable phenotypic variation among the human population. There are a variety of microbial communities and their genes (microbiomes) in the human body that play an essential role in human health and disease. The microbes inhabiting our bodies is quite a bit more variable, with only a third of i...
متن کاملDeconstructing the Bat Skin Microbiome: Influences of the Host and the Environment
Bats are geographically widespread and play an important role in many ecosystems, but relatively little is known about the ecology of their associated microbial communities and the role microbial taxa play in bat health, development, and evolution. Moreover, few vertebrate animal skin microbiomes have been comprehensively assessed, and thus characterizing the bat skin microbiome will yield valu...
متن کاملEnvironmental influences on the skin microbiome of humans and cattle in rural Madagascar
Background and objectives The skin harbors a dynamic community of microorganisms, where contact with humans, other animals and the environment can alter microbial communities. Most research on the human skin microbiome features Western populations living in hygienic conditions, yet these populations have vastly different patterns of environmental contact than the majority of people on Earth, in...
