TL;DR: A subset of mucosal-associated gut bacteria that consistently translocated and remained viable in CrF in CD ileal surgical resections is discovered, and Clostridium innocuum is identified as a signature of this consortium with strain variation between mucosal and adipose isolates, suggesting preference for lipid-rich environments.

The balance of metagenomic elements shapes the skin microbiome in acne and health.
TL;DR: New insights are provided into the microbial mechanism of acne pathogenesis and probiotic and phage therapies are suggested as potential acne treatments to modulate the skin microbiota and to maintain skin health.
Vitamin B12 modulates the transcriptome of the skin microbiota in acne pathogenesis
TL;DR: The study discovered that vitamin B12, an essential nutrient in humans, modulates the transcriptional activities of skin bacteria, and provided evidence that metabolite-mediated interactions between the host and the skin microbiota play essential roles in disease development.
