Composition of cutaneous bacterial microbiome in seborrheic dermatitis patients: A cross-sectional study.
<h4>Background</h4>Seborrheic dermatitis (SD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease with a multifactorial aetiology. Malassezia yeasts have been associated with the disease but the role of bacterial composition in SD has not been thoroughly investigated.<h4>Objectives</h4>To...
